Fair point. Thanks.
I should probably have phrased my point more like this:
โYouโre right that the batch deserves an explanation.
What Iโm questioning is the leap from โunexplained batchโ to โevidence of fraud.โ
Reporting errors, incomplete imports, or administrative issues are all possible explanations until we see the actual data.โ
@The1stFaceless@TheRabbitHole There is no third gamete. Biological variation is not the same claim as a third sex. Variations between the two reproductive sexes exist, and thatโs been well documented for decades.
@TheLeftIsNutz@RealEradikate@Badussi123@elonmusk For someone who seems to value personal freedom, you spend a surprising amount of time worrying about how other adults choose to live their lives.
Youโre right that the anomaly deserves an explanation.
My point is that โunexplainedโ and โfraudulentโ are not the same thing. Reporting errors, incomplete imports, or other administrative issues are possible explanations.
Pratt ultimately received 163,549 votes. Thatโs why the full dataset matters more than a single unexplained anomaly.
@jeffersonianguy@JustafanM@TheRabbitHole Human nature hasnโt changed much.
Our standards have. Thatโs why we no longer settle disputes with duels, burn witches, or hang people on crosses.

Either: XX/XY biology
Or: Madness
The actual discussion is about how society should deal with the biological exceptions that do exist.
โXX/XY existsโ and โbiological variation existsโ are not contradictions. Both are true.
Nobody is far right simply because theyโre โfrom 1995.โ
The original meme is trying to turn โfar rightโ into a synonym for โthe norm.โ That simply isnโt true. Just as โfar leftโ isnโt the norm either.
Most people recognize that societies evolve. What is considered โnormalโ evolves too.
@parrotyaccount3@TheRabbitHole The reactions are actually proving the point. Quite a few people seem proud of not having updated their idea of whatโs โnormalโ in 30 years.
@JustafanM@TheRabbitHole I think some people are reading this backwards. Itโs questioning whether โnormalโ should be defined by a worldview from 30 years ago.
