Exactly. So you acknowledge that one culture might consider dogs a food choice while the majority do not? Can you understand that to those of us who think of dogs as pets find this offensive, and do so due to OUR cultural experiences?

Tucker Carlson: What is a woman?

My point is that our values are typically defined by the standards we inherit and learn from our cultural experiences. That many are prejudiced against trans people and gays is due to what they learned from their culture, not because they have any rational thoughts about it.
It takes a flexible and open, moral mind to accept those outside of our cultural norms. It is easy to adopt and defend the bias and prejudice of our tradition, even as it harms people.
Yes. Many people find it quite offensive that dogs are a food source in some cultures. Their cultural background is the basis of their feeling offended.
Objectively it is no more or less moral than harvesting cows, pigs, chickens, etc. for food. But we have assigned a special status to dogs and cats. So we are offended due to a tradition of value that we we accept and adopt, not because dogs are more special than cows. I admit that I am offended by cats and dogs being used as food, and that is due to my experiences with cats and dogs as pets. There are people who form emotional attachment to their dairy cows, and feel sadness when they die.
Let's say you grew up in a part of Australia where there are many wild dogs that can attack and kill people. Would you think twice about killing those dogs if they attacked your children? Would you feel bad about leaving the carcasses out to be scavenged?
So do you follow what I'm saying here about the cultural values that we inherit and haven't personally thought through for ourselves? This relates to the prejudice and bias that it taught and learned by many cultures in the West. There is a lot of prejudice against gays and trans people among conservatives in the USA, and it is a cultural dispute. That arguments conservatives make against trans and gay people are cultural threats and bogus threats against children, as if the left is trying to teach the children of America to be gay.

No it isn't. I am not a woman,... I do not have breasts... I cannot nurse a baby...I do not have a womb, I do not have the genetics of a female. Nothing subjective about it... Just because some guy cuts his testicles off and says he's a woman doesn't make him one.
So you're Sexually male. Good for you.
"Gender" plays out slightly differently. That is what it means societally to "be woman". Roles, rights, responsibilities.
Edit: Also men can lactate and nurse a baby, fyi. Although uncommon.
"Yes, in theory, men can breastfeed. Male breasts have milk ducts, and some mammary tissue. They also have oxytocin and prolactin, the hormones responsible for milk production."

Neither does a friend of mine who had a double mastectomy. So please, go on and finish your thought.

Great, I thought I might be maybe the only one on RF
I really like the way he articulates, making it enjoyable to listen to. At least most of the ones I have seen. I did see another one 2 days ago, that made my stomach turn, but so far just one
Have you ever seen a female cat in heat and another female mounts her? This is the point Tucker should be raising, not whether these cats think they are cats or not. The British woman's quote is completely irrelevant.
Gay and trans people aren't denying they are homo sapiens, they are questioning the traditional gender identity that is the norms we adopt. I'm a straight male, so I don't understand what being gay is. But given my limitation I have to be wise not to pass judgment on gays and trans people as they define their own experiences. I have a moral obligation to allow these citizens a freedom and liberty to be as they want to be.

Tucker is clearly an expert on defining women:
"But they're extremely primitive, they're basic, they're not that hard to understand. And one of the things they hate more than anything is weakness in a man.”

My Master said "God is Male, all humans are female"
But I rather stick to the obvious, along the lines @Wildswanderer explained.

No, it isn't. You know it's funny when you castrate a bull he doesn't become a heifer. We need to quit playing to make believe, and just call people by what they are.

So? She was still born with breasts I assume? Or rather developed them the same as any female...
As are my parody posts.

The painful "funny" part was that a woman was too confused to describe what a woman is, and needed help of some scientist
