@laurahelmuth "Trans genocide" is not moral panic but having the ability to talk about biological sex and provisions for sex based space, parental concern is "moral panic". Up is down.
Oh boy, this is going to take a long time to go through, but I will attempt to address each article and share the link to each article in this thread... this may take a while...
@hoovlet I think of implications of this debate in places where sexual violence is high. Forget the arguments, what does mixing sexes recklessly result in? While getting dogpiled on Twitter is unhealthy people can switch Twitter off. But they unthinkingly disable a woman from saying no.
@hoovlet I.e. you are not responsible for a good faith call when people in power are being reckless thinking they are doing good but not basing it on accounting problems of people from vast parts of the globe when they act in narrow political divisions of a part of the world.
@Anthrofuentes The 2 categories. How would one explain the fact that the reproductive cost of someone in the valley of the graph is same as the "peak" female (duration of pregnancy, maternal investment etc). There are parts of me that are more like chimp female than human male..
@Anthrofuentes Take the case of the birds that caused the sciam fiasco. How would you explain that no two males can mate with each other to produce a lineage if there's overlap in form and function related to reproduction? And say we accept that brain and behavior are part of defining 1/
@PhilipAaaaaaaa@Anthrofuentes Because unlike what most people seem to believe, people actually want to be nice and tolerant. But there is a point where that gets taken advantage of.
Which is why the claim right is more of danger is nonsense. It's decent moderates that such "read and learn" claims target.
@FondOfBeetles@ShelleyThistle@laurahelmuth@sciam It's ok to say a controversial statement then not just ignore established scientists but deny them the chance to reply and see how a science editor follows up on the topic. This is an embarrassment to journalistic ethics.
@Anthrofuentes Can you explain how these chromosomal sexes were selected? Where was the selection pressure? And how in your system level definition of sex that encompasses everything do you account for differences in how selection acts as different levels?
@laurahelmuth@audubonsociety Jesus.
In your lovely chromosomal definition of sex, can I know how selection works? Is it by nature saying, aha I like an inversion so I will go for it, choose inversion 1, additional chromosome. Or is it by nature mating needs two sexes, and maintaining chromosomal variations
@DeafStoner8703 @FondOfBeetles@RossVenger @FamilyDrBen I didn't miss it, you say trans women are women. My point is other people's perceptions don't innately change, especially in sensitive moments. If you can't make even see the possible conflict of interest: it's only because you choose not to.
@JBLuvsCeltic @pbump That absolute number of black on white crimes are disproportionate to white on black either means criminality rate is higher or there is a racial bias. The issue at point was its the white on black crimes that you report. And then you follow up with this. Sheesh.
@JBLuvsCeltic @pbump The disproportionate manner in which white on black crimes get reported. True based on data. And just because most people can't intepret networks easily doesn't mean people like musk can't. The absolute nos. reflect exactly what they are supposed to. That's not being racist.
