you seem to be saying that position B is essentially sexist. Would that be correct?
— Bartricks
Yes.
The idea that you can become the opposite sex ignores biological reality and embodiment. Women are the main losers because men who have dominated women for millennia can now claim to be women by wearing a dress and lipstick and undermine them and win at their sports and get women of the year awards and invade spaces designed for the protection of women against male violence.
Being a woman is then reduced to the superficial not biological reality. — Andrew4Handel
To intentionally use the pun, science has made controlling for all sorts of errors in personal accounts a science. Scientific observations would employ said controls. Your personal observations are most certainly not controlled.Well you have just found a problem with the notion of science. In what sense is any observation not a personal account? — Andrew4Handel
Sure; humans are sexually dimorphic. But note that you're immediately jumping to averages, because the dimorphism in heights isn't all that extreme. There are plenty of short males and tall females. This is child's play compared to the sexual size dimorphism found in spiders.But there is science as well. For example men are taller on average than woman. — Andrew4Handel
This is also anecdotal. Incidentally, are you sure you really mean Lauren Laverne?Lauren Laverne identifies as female and is much taller than Chase Strangio who identifies as male. — Andrew4Handel
What I find problematic is the desire that everyone pretends that a male is a female (or vice versa) and even actually believes they have become a female/male because of self identity. — Andrew4Handel
This is also anecdotal. Incidentally, are you sure you really mean Lauren Laverne? — InPitzotl
. But note that you're immediately jumping to averages, — InPitzotl
Since I assume you don't live with the delusion that you will effectively scold the trans community into submission to your will, can you at least acknowledge their existence is not being made more HEALTHY by your and your ilk's berating — Hanover
That would have been who I guessed you meant.I meant Laverne Cox. Yikes. — Andrew4Handel
Not sure why you're asking me this question.How did humans create 7 billion of themselves? — Andrew4Handel
What is the antecedent to "it" there? We were just talking about sexual size dimorphism. I specifically cited sexual size dimorphism in spiders to contrast. Now suddenly you're talking about all sexual dimorphism.It is not an average it is a huge majority of humans displaying sexual dimorphism. — Andrew4Handel
There's nothing normative about evolution. There is no "scientific mandate" to reproduce.Puberty blockers , hormones and genitals surgeries lead to the evolutionary dead end of infertility. — Andrew4Handel
Can a male be turned into a female? How? — Andrew4Handel
The credibility of a view is not affected by who endorses it - so the fact many sexists endorse subjectivism about sex isn't, in itself, evidence that the view is implausible. — Bartricks
I have always been able to tell I use my ears. I can also tell when someone has had "gender reassignment" — Andrew4Handel
I smell shifting the goalpost here. I also smell black and white fallacy here.I find it hard to believe that 99.9% of people are unable to differentiate between a male and female. — Andrew4Handel
Denying the ability to differentiate between men and women is surely and illness is surely disorder like prosopagnosia? — Andrew4Handel
Subjectivism is fundamental to trans ideology. It is about feelings over biology. These feelings are deeply imbedded with sex stereotypes. — Andrew4Handel
No. I have never needed to know about someone's chromosomes to know whether they are male or female. — Andrew4Handel
You cannot tell the difference between a man or a woman.? I have always been able to tell I use my ears. I can also tell when someone has had "gender reassignment" — Andrew4Handel
Most trans people do not pass ( I have known four) I don't need to look in peoples underwear. The one's that pass are a luck minority. — Andrew4Handel
A woman is not something superficial but a biological reality and the reason we are all here because only women can gestate, and give birth — Andrew4Handel
Philosophy is not PC or Woke. — Andrew4Handel
Not all women can gestate or give birth, so being able to gestate or give birth is not what it means to be a woman. — Michael
Can a male be turned into a female? — Andrew4Handel
