@Kaida_B_ @MorningShitter @nenepil_taco@esjesjesj @edthegr8 In the USA sex assigned at birth is determined by visual examination of external genitalia by a medical professional. That is just how it is assigned. The original comment was about the word βcisβ never being used in this way. I just explained the origin. Have a great day!
@MorningShitter @nenepil_taco@esjesjesj @edthegr8 It is assigned by sight after birth based on βnormalβ ranges. This is why some doctors have suggested surgery for some intersex babies only to get the βsexβ wrong. The visual and chemical do not always align. Similar for gender.
@MorningShitter @nenepil_taco@esjesjesj @edthegr8 Just to clarify, cis means βon this sideβ whereas trans mean βon the other sideβ. This is from terminology in chemistry - cis-trans isomerism. Sex is commonly thought to be a chemical / genetic assignment but that is not how modern medicine assigns sex at birth. It is by sight.
@phyllisdawn1982@thefreehawaiian Itβs even more strange tho bc I just watched an episode of #AirDisaster and planes have a collision system that gives a directive on how to avoid crashes (Grand Canyon episode I think)
@phyllisdawn1982@thefreehawaiian It looks like the plane is routinely landing. The helicopter likely recently took off and collided with the plane. It looks like helicopter approaches the plane from the side. Not really sure how the Blackhawk didnβt see the plane

NEW VIDEO: The historic Karnofsky Music Shop in New Orleans has collapsed. It was no match for the winds of Hurricane Ida. Video from @JackRoyer. So so sad. πͺ
I started celebrating Pride month in 2004. My best friend came out to me in a rural Oklahoma parking lot, crying, scared. Being alongside since then, watching his pain after devaluation & threats from homophobes, yet thriving anyway...How can I be anything but proud? #Pride2021
My claim to fame is that I have attended every #DIScience#impsci conference since the first one in 2007 as a second year grad student. I can't wait for #DIScience21 14 years later!
