Nothing the DNC did torpedoed Sanders. He was losing before the DNC even started talking smack about him. While reprehensible, none of the DNC’s talk/actions amounted to any “fixing” or substantial influence of the result. Hillary won the majority of primary voters in 2008, but lost in the delegate system with…

This. Women can have great shooting ability and court sense, but get physically dominated in other parts of the game co-ed.

With the best HS players in a large region, probably. But not like, any HS team. I’ve seen a top Pac-12 point guard have her way on the court with top Seattle-area HS mens players while they were training over the summer. What she lacked athletically she made up for with court sense and knowing the game. A saw a guy…

Not sure where you are getting your population statistics from. I’ve seen a range of estimates for population, sometimes with more MTFs but never more than double let alone “overwhelming”. Anecdotally, the FTM peer group is just as big as the MTF peer group at my local LGBT community center. Maybe you are sensing an…

Transguy here. I second that. There might be slightly more transwomen, but it’s a very hard population to measure.

I think that’s very complicated. Mental illness is stigmatized in the general population to a point where it’s hard to discuss it in reference to policy outside of the mental care and medical communities. Most mental health practitioners that work with LGBT clients believe stigma is likely the cause of the disparity…

Again, if you are looking for conclusions from non-experimental social science, you won’t find it here or anywhere.

1. My points about diversity have always been in context of product teams. I’ve been talking about “multiple perspectives” early in the thread, and not in the context of schizophrenia. I’ve been talking about team composition, and how having multiple perspectives makes it MORE LIKELY your product meet the needs of a…

Here we go. This is where you I think you are missing my point. I’m talking about teams, you are talking about individuals.

I bet these people are really upset Jesus is often depicted as white and Buddha as east asian.

There is so much stupid here it’s clear you are a lost cause. You aren’t even comprehending my arguments let alone making a coherent case against them. Enjoy your life.

When Healthkit shipped originally it was billed as an ambitious feature-rich foray into the health tracking market and it included:

Let me give you an example two examples.

Actually, I was using demographic broadly. A 50 year old divorced person that loves yoga retreats and fixes classic cars is going to add diversity of perspective, whether they are white and male or not. If you read my post its about how a lot of engineers in SV are in similar life stages with similar backgrounds. They…

There are several minorities, especially women, that are wildly under-represented in the field. You can either believe they are under-represented because of some biological reason or for some complex societal reasons. If it’s not for a biological reason (which, if you are on the Alt-Right you might go with the…

Women are half the population. We are talking about wildly unrepresented minorities in the field, like women. Stay focused man. I know it’s hard to keep up.

I’ll tell you another reason it really matters. Ideas for startups/products often come from those that understand a demographic’s needs/frustrations. When you stuff Silicon Valley with a bunch of 20-something guys, you end up with a bunch of mother 2.0 services/products for 20-something men with too much money and not…

I go by Papa. In my defense I went by Mama to my 1 year old daughter before I transitioned to living as a man. (My wife preferred ‘Mommy’ and since she was birthing, she got first dibs.) Going from Mama to Papa just made a lot of sense because they are relative terms and sound more similar than jumping to Daddy. But…

No worries. I have to remind myself that vegans are people too. I just have bad luck with the ones I meet.

Yeah, I mean, it appears like you really just have a problem with this a-hole.
