@melliehellie42 Sex characteristics =/= sex, so where's the lie?

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@speakoutsister Then why is it safer for trans women to use women's facilities?

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@ianmiles People who are in absolutely no danger and therefore have no need of asylum.

And the issue is?

[Ashley Frawley @AshleyAFrawley]

"Freedom of speech does not include freedom to offend."

I do wonder what people who say this think the point of freedom of speech is. Do they think those who fought for these things did it so they could talk about buttercups and daisies?

@aniobrien Left wing racism is more insidious than right wing racism. The right is more overt about it, so it's easy to identify and object to. The left only let it show when directing towards someone who misbehaves.

Fucking hell yes, I hate phone menus. Looking at a real menu is fun. Phone menus are fiddly and annoying.

@TheVikingDane Bit concerning that you'd ask, suggests you might be guilty of wrongthink

Now wondering if I could've made my degree a lot easier...

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

What the fuck are quizlet and cheg?

[Sailor Moon Cricket🌚🌙 @andreaisawriter]

Oh, so y'all wrote all your own essays, never looked up answers on Quizlet on your phone during tests, didn't get Chegg to pass online homework, and never looked at someone else's quiz when you were in college?

Let's talk about all you had to do to GET your degrees actually.

@AriDrennen It is in some places. I think I agree with you. Too difficult to ensure they're given a real education otherwise.

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@_celia_bedelia_ Alright. Doesn't answer the question.

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@SwipeWright @prageru @TEDTalks Interesting dilemma. Many of the people you need to convince will dismiss it specifically because it's on PragerU, but maybe having it on YouTube is more significant than which channel. I'm unsure.

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@_celia_bedelia_ If it's happened before, it's entirely in line with reality.

Hypotheticals aren't allowed because they aren't real. Real cases aren't allowed because they're outliers.

When is it acceptable to ask if a woman is allowed to call her rapist a man, even if the rapist dislikes it?

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@TimB_Tweets @SSurely00 @FondOfBeetles @ZakAce Would you say "I am a human"? Is being a human an identity?

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@DarkForestPress @greatmamatheo @sliderulesyou Yes, double entendre, exactly. One of the best bits of panto, and why it's entirely appropriate. Adults get the jokes that kids don't.

Dancing in lingerie is not a double entendre, it's a very singular entendre and it's not a child friendly one.

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

Then he should've apologised, admitted he was in the wrong and promised never to do it again

"There was nothing sexual about the split-second kiss; it was a spontaneous expression of joy. Rubiales’s lips were closed, and the kiss had no predatory aftermath." 👍

@TheatreSpoonie @XYcervixXYwomb @speakoutsister Genital mutilation of children with DSDs is wrong. Those children are still male or female with or without that surgery.

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@KatyMontgomerie I'm sorry, would you be OK with people screaming in your face at a Pride march?

Or, actually, anywhere?

You think that should be protected speech?

Really???

[GrumpyScientist @AtomicGrump]

@ZakAce @FondOfBeetles I know my sex. I know the expectations society has for me as a result of that sex, some I'm OK with, some I'm not. At what point does this become a gender identity, and how do I discern which gender it is?
