  1.  @The_Greipist  "I just use my eyes like most people." Just so you know this has led to plenty of cis lesbians being accosted or even attacked in public

  2.  @XenFPV  Interesting how that's only an unserious, extremist position when we're talking about our own country, it's considered perfectly sensible when backing rebels in Libya, Iraq etc

  3. 100%, we allowed automotive companies to control how industrial society was built and surprise surprise, they did what was best for them, not us.

  4.  @joao3547  You got it backwards. I get to do what I want, Rowling is trapped scrolling twitter and namesearching herself all day, every day, forever. I'm happy, and she is not.

  5.  @AlphaNumeric123  "Abnormalities exist, genetic variance exist" Oh, you knew that? Why did you start talking about gametes and chromosomes then? No answer? That's okay, we'll let it slide. I'm not trying to embarrass you. All I want to know is the part you keep talking about, the part that can't be changed. I'm really curious what it might be! Don't keep me in suspense.

  6.  @AlphaNumeric123  Every part can't be changed? That's plainly not true, our bodies change a lot over our lifetimes. Clearly some parts change and some do not. Why can't you answer the question? You keep saying sex can't be changed, but what is the part you're referring to? ...you don't know, do you?

  7.  @AlphaNumeric123  Gamates? Are you sure you know what those are? Because they're not in every cell in your body ahahahaha Chromosomes? Those aren't consistent either! Plenty of women have XY chromosomes and live totally normal lives. Sounds like you didn't do the research 🤣

  8. I want everybody to know that this is how I found out Rocky didn't win in the end All this time I just assumed he beat the guy!

  9.  @AlphaNumeric123  But as you've already acknowledged, chromosomes don't confer your 'sex'. Otherwise, all women with XY chromosomes would simply be men. So it must be something else, right? Something else that can't be changed. What could it be? I'm sure you'll think of something eventually.
    32
  10.  @AlphaNumeric123  "Chromosomes confer your sex as much as they decide your species" But you seem to accept that cis women exist with XY chromosomes, and trans women have XY chromosomes...so what's the difference?

  11. For centuries the UK has been ruled by the kind of people that would sooner burn money in front of a homeless person than give them the money. That's why it looks so poor - our rulers would genuinely pay extra to make society worse. Our schools and hospitals are far more expensive, but are also literally falling apart right now.

  12.  @MegaLokopo  Nice idea, but some countries tried it and it worked out terribly. About 33% of Lithuanians left their country because wages were low. Did salaries in Lithuania improve? No. It just killed the economy.

  13.  @AlphaNumeric123  "Nor does that fact mean that they can trans species by simply saying something or feeling a certain way, right?" You might want to sit down, I have some bad news about how scientists classify different species. Yes, they literally do just decide which species are which. Always have. Think about it, we had species classification before we even knew what genes were!

  14.  @AlphaNumeric123  That's nice, can you answer my question? Specifically, what is the part that can't be changed?

  16. The "classical liberal" with the celtic cross was such a nice touch ahaha

  17.  @AlphaNumeric123  What's the part you can't change?

  18.  @AlphaNumeric123  "Species get reclassified, great point genius—doesn’t mean a cat and transition to a dog" It's pretty funny I have to spell it out for you but when species get reclassified it doesn't mean a cat becomes a dog - it means we misidentified a dog as a cat. And that's all it means to be trans - to say that you were misidentified at birth.

  19.  @skyscraperfan  "Only people rich enough to be able to do something as a hobby should be allowed to do it" is a genuinely evil idea. This is already the status quo with acting, journalism and music - all industries dominated by the middle and upper classes. And they all suck, they make shitty content and they're filled with shitty people. Ordinary working class people deserve to be able to get into those industries too, and if I'm honest we deserve better quality from these industries. That's only happening if ordinary people can get paid for their work.

  20.  @AlphaNumeric123  ""Women are born with genetic defects, so that means you can change your genetics by a performative utterance"" What are the quotation marks for? Who are you quoting? It's a little bit odd to randomly start quoting people I haven't heard of, not sure what you're trying to prove there.

  21.  @AlphaNumeric123  "Same logic applies to your sex. You might not identify with this label, but you can’t change your biological reality" Very interesting that you keep comparing this with race, which is a wholly abstract concept not based on genetics. Sort of like you keep making my point for me, but you don't realise it?

  22. Slight correction: Trans people exist all over the world and there is centuries of evidence proving it

  23.  @wolfzmusic9706  You're right that I should spend less time online But in this specific case, I'm not trying to change their mind. But other people scroll past this and might learn something, I've noticed that some people are supportive of trans rights but do not yet have a well-developed understanding of the subject; my hope is that some people reading this understand that the science is on our side too

  24. 'dimwitted' Hey real quick, which side is the one that has been panicking about kids identifying as cats again Oh, oh it's yours?

  25. " Monarchs can truly be above politics" Doesn't the fact there isn't a single example of this happening sort of undermine your point? The only monarchs who weren't involved with politics are the ones who died in record time.

  26.  @ashleyc506  There's nothing you can tell her that wouldn't also apply to a subset of cis women, your options are either to accept trans women as women, or tell some cis women that they're actually just men

  27. "and yet.. school placed a litter box in restroom for student who identifies as a cat" This didn't happen. You need to ask yourself why you believe it happened.

  28. "No, trans people do not exist" You're wrong by definition "Some humans do grow up hating something about their bodies" Dysmorphia isn't a prerequisite for being trans, you should know this " I have researched this topic extensively over the past three years" This is a lie, the fact I can skim your ramblings and clock such basic errors proves it. "Being skeptical of claims is not hate" You're not actually applying scepticism. "When asking this side, "How is gender different from sex?" if the only answer they can give is, "Well, it's how a person identifies," then no, that is not sufficient for the viewpoint that "trans" is a thing" Mmm yeah three years you say? Suuuure kid "My grandmother "identifies" with the mountains of her home country. Is that her gender now" How about you ask your grandmother what her gender is, moron

  29. "Saying that only women have a cervix is correct." Scientifically speaking, no.

  30. The guy who is publicly subscribed to explicit fascists and white supremacists wants us to know that nobody can work out who the nazis are, everybody Ahahahaha God I love how rattled you people get, you're all losing before you started and its just so amazing to watch

  34. Conservatives have spent the past century supporting fascist movements so uhhhhhh

  35. The reason why libertarians are associated with fascists is because historically, they always form alliances. Fascist dictators never gain power without the support of 'libertarians'. This is because libertarians are not anti-authoritarian, they just want to be the ones with authority. So it makes sense they want less state power, because they want that power for themselves.

  37. Hi Sorry to say but nobody is making videos about you, specifically. We don't know anything about your life, therefore we can't narrow down what exactly happens in it.

  38.  @TheBauwssss  Well in that case I will answer again since you put the effort into it: The average recipient of white privilege probably benefits most when applying for jobs. I have personally met people who have explicitly said they'll never hire black men, for example. People with names associated with ethnic minorities are much less likely to get invited to interviews, etc. Another example is scrutiny applied by people in general, white people are challenged on their authority much less frequently. One of the worst examples is in healthcare, where assumptions about pain tolerance and accusations of faking illness have led to nurses and doctors literally killing non-white patients. You could write a book on the things you don't have to worry about because of your skin tone (and some people have), the general rule is that no matter how hard your life may be, it would be harder in the same circumstances if you were of another race.

  44. Hm, starting to wonder if the economic system we have where private companies shape society in accordance with their needs might have a few drawbacks Much to think about

  45.  @Scott_Inksmith  Trans women get softer and weaker after HRT, though. People are just sore losers lmao Also, we've had trans atheletes for a long time and they're not exactly dominating the score boards, I don't think its as big a deal as people make out.

  46.  @Scott_Inksmith  Nobody 'nearly died', she had a cracked orbital and concussion. That's not even unusual in MMA.

  47. There is no rational or meaningful discussion to be had with fascists though? Like, they call for my death and consider it a necessary part of their ideology? Ummmm, like, what do you want me to say to that? "Oh no, I don't want to die!"?
