XY it’s man, XX it’s woman, nothing will ever change that…

I think it's really funny you left out the exact intersex conditions that disprove your point, Swyer syndrome and de la Chapelle syndrome.

You are either a man, a woman, or you have a syndrome

So someone with de la Chapelle syndrome is neither a man nor a woman but has a syndrome? 'Man' and 'woman' are social categories and syndrome is not, so this makes no sense. Also I doubt you'd be able to spot the 'syndrome' in a group of men.

It’s a delusion to believe that you can change your biological sex during your lifetime.

This is a strawman I see repeated a lot. I've never seen trans advocates claim this, only opponents. Even then I would still argue that it is true to some extent. Sex is not just chromosomes (as proven by the two conditions I linked above). It's made up of many different characteristics and you can change some of them, e.g. with hormone replacement therapy, which changes some secondary sex characteristics. Or even just gynecomastia does it too.

For people who are interested in what the actual science says about this topic I recommend Forrest Valkai's new Sex and Sensibility video (warning, it's long).

Edit:

And no, you won’t change speech, you are a man and a he, a woman and a she. That’s it, you can get as angry as you want, nothing will ever change that.

Language is completely made up and changes all the time. But you're claiming it will never change again?

Can we have JXL please

They aren’t stranded, and there is no need to come back any sooner than is scheduled.

But then Trump couldn't make himself look like their saviour, which is all he cares about.

Please let us use the original 196 again :(

The combination of not involving the community in the decision, only providing a vague reason and locking the original community really rubs me the wrong way.

I don’t think they’re ignorant, they’d just rather support the fascists than the progressives.

Balatro is the objectively correct choice.

I also gave up after reading AFFC about a decade ago, with the intention of picking the series back up once the next book had released.

But at this point he’d have to finish the entire series before I’d even consider going back. And I doubt he’ll ever do that. I think eventually they’ll just get someone else to finish it.

No, I hate DST. Getting up an hour earlier sucks. I also prefer the darker season in general because I feel like I sleep better.

Good point. A candidate from a party that doesn't really have a presence in any level of government and especially zero seats in congress will probably never have a realistic chance of winning the presidential election, barring some exceptional circumstances. If you like a third party, trying to make it viable at the local level and moving up from there seems to be the only realistic option to me.

Either Harris or Trump are going to win the election. Not voting for Harris is voting for Trump. Yes, it fucking sucks, but especially if you're a woman or a queer person, really think about whether you actually think it doesn't matter which one wins.

Voting is not an endorsement of a candidate. It's a tool. Don't let them take away your rights while you're waiting for the perfect candidate that will never come.
