Having a penis has zero correlation with being a good engineer, but society has decided to force that correlation anyway.

The presence of an exception applying to a specific case establishes (“proves”) that a general rule exists. It’s not a complicated definition.

The medical field knows that the social construct of gender is only strongly correlated with the biological reality of sex.

Sex itself is an ambiguous concept. There are people with XX chromosomes born with a penis, for example. If you define sex by genotype that person is female, but if you define it by phenotype that person is male.

Ah, you seem to be conflating the common definitions of the word gender.

I see you’re doing the same thing JKR does: claim that trans women are men, and that men are dangerous to women, therefore allowing trans women to use the women’s restroom puts other women in danger.

You have to realize that any third party tracking this conversation is going to be overtly confused by your comments. What are you talking about?

Some women are also natal men. Rowling (in the bathroom context at least) is only concerned with women that are also natal men... for precisely the reason virtually everyone i…

She believes natal men are a threat to women... which is an entirely anodyne belief. This is a typical belief for humans, generally speaking, and particularly common among feminist activists (which Rowling apparently is)... and, arguably, completely understandable coming from a survivor of sexual assault (which…

No direct quote from the essay (just a tortured interpretation out of context). Failure to even attempt to answer any of my pointed questions.

The clue is in the name - the stages are developmental. Some people’s ethical development halts at early stages, while some advance further. It would have been reasonable if you’d simply said that the stages exist on a bell curve and the uppermost stages have proportionately fewer people than the middle ones, but…

False flag!

CPAC is coming up next month.

I value your opinion.

Did you even read her essay? The one where she says if she was a teen now she’d be force-trans’d be evil doctors?

Do you think they have meetings? Is there a newsletter?

So far as I can tell... she has been presented to the world as the “most famous leader of the trans hate movement” by a vocal minority of pro-trans extremists (shored up by a lot of regular people that can’t seem to be bothered to actually look in to the details…

I think they are referencing this tweet:

She has a very problematic bias around “safe spaces for women” that is rooted in personal trauma. In every case where I’ve seen her say something related to trans-women that raises my hackles it’s usually in that context. She is inarguably malephobic (has a strong, often irrational, fear of natal males).

The only…

As for why people don’t like Rowling: with her money and influence she could do a massive amount of good in the world. Instead, she’s devoted the last 5 years of her life to bashing trans people because it gets her attention on the internet. All this despite the fact that without the LGBT community (which were by far…

Your comment is wildly incoherent. The reviews for this game, both from users and professional game reviewers, are overwhelmingly positive. I get the criticisms about users (randos on the internet) but are you under the impression that the professional game reviewer community is made up of folks looking to “own the…

Who? Where?
