Putting a slice of lemon in your water as a heterosexual man can make you non binary.

A Neo-nazi heterosexual man who wants to kill gay and lesbian kids but likes to wear pink socks and helps his wife around the house with baking can technically be more "queer" than the gay and lesbian kids he's chasing with a knife.

This is exactly the argument. It’s rooted in backward stereotypes of men and women.

But the procedure, which involves taking a powerful drug called domperidone, has been mired in controversy.

It’s not a powerful drug. It’s sold OTC in many countries. At high doses, it can cause a man or woman to lactate. They give it to mother’s who struggle with producing enough breast milk too.

Perhaps you have never had your IQ officially tested, but it's directly based on education.

Actually, IQ is highly heritable. Some kids may have been exposed to more educational material earlier and that probably helps, but it follows, that by adulthood the naturally intelligent and highly gifted will overtake any early exposure or edge that can be taught through education alone.

Creepy. Whatever is happening in the neovagina is not what is happening during menses. I guess I’ve never asked men what men think of women’s periods. I’m curious now given this TiM describes menstruation as a mystical and special thing (but with obstacles). Normally, I think women consider menstruation as a burden or an irritation? Personally I see menstruation as another part of who I am. Not that it’s a burden or an annoyance, but a fact of my life.

I think you’re overreacting or trying to mind read Carlson’s intentions? I generally don’t like Tucker Carlson. He does fight back on the Woke issue, so we’re aligned in that sense. He’s not my “ally” and I don’t use the language of war.

I don’t trust anyone on the corporate media. I think you might have bought the narrative that Carlson is a white supremacist? Do you know this of your own personal knowledge and research of the facts?

I’m not scared of some Tucker Carlson segment. We can share in common our resistance of trans. No one needs to be a loyal fan of Carlson.

It's a distraction from the mass surveillance isn't it? As the govt. strips us of our liberties, maybe they think fewer people will notice if they're too bogged down in trans madness.

Regardless, we won't get information on mass surveillance or the military industrial complex on the mainstream media. If that is your jam, I recommend the GrayZone. The GrayZone does great work.

I also don't think the Culture Wars are a distraction anymore. I think the Culture Wars were certainly a distraction before, but at this point, we have useful idiot soldiers mindlessly destroying everything.

Diana dove right in and was a workhorse, who had some remarkable achievements, such as changing the public's attitude towards people with AIDs. She saved lives and exuded glamor, humor and charm while doing it. Kate seems limp and lazy in contrast.

Is there a job expectation that Kate do this? I know Kate does have a charity focusing on children and women. I tend to think it's not fair to hold Kate to Diana's standard (I am indifferent about Diana) and also Diana can immediately jump in when she's been born into the same aristocratic world. Kate, while bourgeoise, was not born and bred aristocracy.

I think she does love William in her own way, but if he'd been an accountant she wouldn't have looked at him. William seems petulant and arrogant, so she probably doesn't have an easy life with him.

Personally, I think that William and Kate have a good marriage and seem to love each other. I don't consider William to be petulant nor arrogant but tend to ascribe those traits to Harry. Because this is subjective, it is a matter of interpretation.

I largely do not care about the interpersonal drama of the royals but because I'm American, I have disdain for Meghan and her behavior when it badly reflects on Americans.

Rationalmind · 2021-03-10T09:39:44+00:00

Interesting. I don’t know much about Kate’s parents. I don’t think Kate is all that conniving, and I wouldn’t call her useless. I definitely wouldn’t prefer Meghan’s Californian sjw stereotype. I don’t want the shallow, self-absorbed, attention seeking superficial personality. Maybe the Middleton’s wanted the title to anoint their bourgeois status, but I don’t think Diana loved Charles either. I think there will always be a fatal flaw when looking at a woman who married royal because of jealously. I personally am not jealous and don’t want to be royal and think Kate performs her job well. I like that Kate keeps quiet, is classy and knows how to perform— that’s the job and she performs to expectations. Meghan is off script and disrespectful. I don’t give Meghan deference because of it.

Rationalmind · 2021-03-09T21:44:41+00:00

Right? If someone is the victim in that lifestyle, then there is no hope for the rest of us.

I like Kate, she’s a commoner, fits in, and is classy. No commoner who marries a royal did not want that or pine for that. Whether Kate had an image of William at 13 or Meghan stalked famous British people to marry them, it doesn’t matter to me.

I don’t believe her on the suicide bit. She wants attention. That’s what I know from my personal knowledge. Your situation is not the same and mine may not be either.

In a Senate compromise, Samuels was appointed for a 6 mos term, but I think she can extend that term for an additional 6 months. I won’t get into the details of how that extension works, but consider her there for a year.

The president is the one who appoints the head of agencies. The agencies are considered a part of the executive branch. Biden's move is not aytypical. If the vice chair is a pro-trans lobbyist, then there is a problem. The people within the agencies are usually non-partisan and care about the agency.

Eh, this was one of my first thoughts, too, but the EEOC is ultra-liberal and may even sweep these types of legitimate complaints under the rug using "administrative discretion" (that they don't have).

Can't know until someone tries. I don't think the EEOC is all that biased because the law itself is not biased. They don't really have administrative discretion unless you mean whether to prosecute or not. They'll investigate and warn at least. But hostile workplace lawsuits from private attorneys would work too.

I don’t understand how these people think the dating pool will be larger if they sex transition. Common sense, when applied, would mean that this would make your dating pool smaller.

Rationalmind · 2021-02-24T05:22:42+00:00

I don't know about that. It's not professional or responsible of a daycare teacher or worker to talk to kids or toddlers about a medical transition to the opposite sex. I agree on the part of the parents and that you can't protect your kids from everything, but that doesn't mean people in certain roles should not be the gatekeepers. They are the gatekeepers and their sole job is to protect children. Telling unproven nonesense to children is irresponsible.

Rationalmind · 2021-02-21T23:53:45+00:00

You simply can't change your gender. You will always be a girl or boy that got a sex change.

Agree. This is almost like modern Cartesian dualism, which is stupid because the mind and body are one. I don't understand why people's heads feel divorced from their body and visa versa. Maybe I'm lucky to have never had this problem. We are many things that makeup the one, single person who we are. People need to recognize that or they will always be running away, searching for a holy grail, or wishing for something external that probably will not manifest to bring them validation. People need to learn acceptance of their body and then focus on growing their mind and becoming better people.

It makes them look like wannabes. Being a man trapped in a woman's body makes you look like a loser.

Totally. It's performative and based on stereotypes. It makes me cringe. If people want to pretend and act that they are something else, that's a sign of someone insecure. You don't want to play pretend if you are happy and comfortable with who you are as a person. I wish people would get comfortable in their own skin, but I guess it's easier nowadays to look for an escape. It's really sad if you think about it.

Are you talking about gcwomen? I think it's hard because there are so few of us and we also have responsibilities in our lives. There should be a lot more women on the left pushing back against this ideology, but I have no idea how to even start to unbrainwash the women on the left. The women on the left legitimately do not see the trans problem because they are largely wealthy and elitist, and so do not identify or see the threat of a battered woman in a womens shelter being housed with TiMs. The majority of young women have not participated in a sport that involved a transwoman and they've been brainwashed by the school system to believe this is a civil rights issue. I wish we could wake the left, but I don't see how. I've been working on people in my life very slowly and it's a lot of planting seeds.
