You have an opinion as well? That’s nice. 

Whose opinion would Chappelle erase?

Haters are never very good at tolerating or including. They think tolerance and inclusion are a one-way street.

What’s “TERF” but another slur invented to crush dissent? I first encountered the term here, when I posted the Keira Bell interview hoping to learn what trans people think about detransitioners.

“Intersex” people are either male or female too, like the rest of us. 

Yeah, my mom says "Who'll I call when someone is breaking into my house?" Which prompts me to wonder just how often law enforcement interrupts an active home invasion. Seems like I'd hear more about it if it happened a lot.

The AMA invests in tobacco too.

^^^Darius has the receipts.

You’re right. It’s the state using public dollars to push a corporate investment agenda.

“Efforts to protect the integrity of women’s sports” are NOT “violent transphobia.” Such wild-eyed hyperbole may be fun on social media but doesn’t help trans people at all.

Excellent.

“I am unable to utter even the barest hint of a criticism because of their sizeable philanthropic efforts.”

Thank you for understanding and restating the point that “a lot of us” have been making about rich people and their charities. I’ll try to rid myself of ideology and find some common sense.

Of course it would be a good idea to send vaccines to developing countries, but Bill Gates expects to be fully compensated for shit like that. Charity is inadequate for such tasks. Virtue-signaling does impress some people though, and distracts them from talking about progressive taxation. 

What? The point is to make charity unnecessary, which Bill Gates seeks to prevent. Have you ever been the smartest person in the room?

“Charity is not a gift. Gift-giving implies reciprocity, an ongoing relationship. When requital is impossible, the act of giving remains outside mutual ties and charity becomes yet another manifestation of class structure, a sterile one-way act upholding the status quo.

Thus sayeth lord plutocrat: “Behold, ye peasants, I shall dazzle thee with shiny crumbs, that I may be redeemed of my many sins and saved--from the tax man.”

That’s a low bar, man. 

“Without nuclear we will never get past using carbon based fuels for power" is the industry's main talking point and is worse than untrue. We can get into that if you care to.

Where are you getting your information from? Nuclear IS the most expensive way to make power, even with public subsidy, and is so unsafe—according to the insurance industry, whose business depends on knowing these things—that nuke plants can’t get private insurance coverage.
