The Left now says there's no such thing as a "woman"

[Revoltingest]

Well that there is biological women and men is science and basic biology.

There is indeed. But we also have much disagreement
about definitions applied. We create definitions to organize
our thoughts, but they change over time, & acquire diversity
of usage. I see no singular perspective that's "true" for all time.

The best we can hope for is agreement on something useful.
Saying "real" or "legitimate" vs "not real" or "illegitimate"
isn't serving us well in the age of understanding more
complexity, & incorporating that into a tolerant society.

What's your criteria for a "biological woman"?

Haha even a child know the answer to your question

Humans have known the difference between biological women and biological men in thousands of years.

Do you not believe in real science and basic biology anymore?

"He calls himself a “theocratic fascist” on his Instagram Page." Humour, I'm hoping

I doubt it's humor.

I would love to know what the rebuttal to this would be. Short video

The things the Rightists get all freaked out about! Good lord.

Then you should have no trouble answering it. Please go ahead.

If we think of there being a continuum from man to woman,
then all they need do is be more in one direction than the
other in order to be "biological".
This so much a matter of perspective....not "truth".

It does not matter that we will never reach our ultimate goal. The effort yields its own rewards. -Data

 

[Shadow Wolf]

funny how non theists throw around the word "science" exactly the way theists throw around "god". Oh a a dude is a women because....uhhhh..... because "science"

We really don't. We have current research and data. Theists have ancient books of superstitions and modern pseudoscience garbage.

Men competing with women is not being "treated equally". Chicks with Dicks being treated like real women is not "treated equally"

Have you ever heard of Billie Jean King?
Being a biological male doesn't mean an automatic advantage.

However I was referring to the legal system. Sports authorities are going to have to make these decisions.

Progress for effort is even better.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

This is not true. That is not real science.

Yes, it is. It's been documented many times. Even without hormone treatment the brain looks more like the sex if identity than the birth sex.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Progress for effort is even better.

That's in there. The effort towards progress towards a goal yields its own reward, even if the goal is ultimately futile.

So i can identify as a car if i want? Or a cat? Or a prinscess?

Sorry but no. This transgender thing has going to far

How Many Adults Identify as Transgender in the United States? - Williams Institute

Well, according to the article here, there are about 1.4 million people openly identifying themselves as transgender in the US alone. This doesn't even include the people who are too afraid to come out of the closet. How many people in the US do you think identify as a car?

How many people need to belong to a group before they are legitimate, especially if there are signs of their existence going far back into deep history involving the whole human race covering the entirety of the globe? This isn't some new, isolated concept.

This just seems to be the reality of things, whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

I think i can prove him wrong

 

[epronovost]

Literally, the brains of transgender people look more like their identified sex than their birth sex.

I'd be careful with such claims. While transgender people's brain anatomy does seem to be, on average, different then that of cisgender people of the sex they were assigned at birth, the average measurements of transgender people also differs from the average measurements of the cisgender people they identify as. Plus, there is a far from insignificant (around 20%) of cisgender women that have a brain morphology very similar to that of the average of cisgender men. Small samples also play a role and more research need to be done on the subject.

Let's not take that too far.

I have no dishwasher loading skills, the slave husband does that.

A man who can properly load a dishwasher?
That's unheard of here.
