For thousands of years men (some women too maybe) were the ones out fighting lions while the women were raising children

And stuff similar to that.

Exactly, these are your standard hunter-gatherer stereotypes. The great thing about the modern world is that those stereotypes are useless here. We aren't hunter-gatherers anymore, both men and women fill both stereotypical roles now.

saying that biology and psychology are the same because "science", and therefore are fit to counter/cross-reference/generally speak of in the same breath while trying to uphold in an argument, is like saying that american football and lacrosse are the same because "sports"
when they're two specific fields of science that, while they do share some similarities, are ultimately different enough that trying to use them both so closely is like trying to eat soup with a goddamned fork
it ain't gonna work, pal

No, let me explain how science works.

Science works based on the scientific method. This is universal across all fields of science, including psychology, neuroscience and biology.
If you come up with a theory, like say "E=mc²" or "Transgendered people have something fundamentally in common with the opposite love of them that makes them feel the way they do," then you can design experiments, and when performed either help reinforce or disprove that theory. The more expanatory power your theory has and the more experiments that corroborate it, the greater chance that it's reality.

This is a universal method of figuring out what is and isn't true, it applies to all fields. And when two different fields of science all agree based on their experiments and observations that something is true, when either field alone could conclusively prove that it's real, it's doubly certain because the scientific method is what links them.

brb supporting transgenderism with loving e=mc^2
science is science is not an answer or an excuse

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that both biology and psychology support this. Physics has nothing to do with it, it doesn't have an opinion.

Transgenderism is also documented as a mental illness

Close. Gender dysphoria is a documented mental illness, and it's what predominantly causes people to be transgendered and exclusively what makes people get transitions. The gender dysphoria makes you so uncomfortable in your own body that you can quite easily become deeply depressed and suicidal, among other nasty side effects.

and when he does you're going to do what you do as the le ebin fedora knight of the progressive society and point and laugh when he gets it wrong as you expect him to, because you've set it up in a way that there is no way you can possibly lose

He said "It's easy to tell them apart." I'm testing his ability to tell them apart so that he can see for himself whether that's actually true or not. It's not rigged, I chose both transgendered and non-transgendered individuals. I wasn't going to point and laugh, I wasn't going to act all superior or make fun of him. Like I said, it's not some sort of joke.

In some cases yes it's quite easy but just like "White men can't jump," it's just a generalization.

Explain how having a richard means you're not male

Are you reffering to biological love at birth or gender
because there's a difference and "male" can mean either of them, and the answer is different depending on which you choose.
I hate semantics sometimes.

Also you still haven't identified any of those people.

yo you know that like, biology and psychology aren't the same field of science right

They're still all science, and there really isn't any conflict between the two. I fail to see your point.

It's really easy to distinguish males from females
If one of my friend asked me to call him a girl I would think he's drunk I would call him a loving moron

Okay, distinguish these. (Without any internet searching, that would just ruin it.)








This isn't some sorta joke, I actually wanna see how well you can do.

so you're a gender psychologist?

he's not saying he is
he's asking why you drew the line where you did
it would be totally fair to ask him why he drew the line where he did but you're just misdirecting

I think this post is very relevant:

I mean, you don't have the kind of perspective to know that for certain.

When people tell me about lucid dreaming, there's always a part of my mind that wonders whether everyone who does lucid dreaming is just bullstuffting me. Like, surely after trying and failing at lucid dreaming for a few weeks, it must be pretty easy to just lie about it and tell your friends about all this cool stuff that never actually happened to you.

But since I've never had a lucid dream and I can't enter their minds, there's literally no way for me to have any degree of certainty about it. I think it's a good parallel for gender stuff, since most people have no personal experience with that kind of thing. It's your own prerogative whether you believe them or not, but you have to admit to yourself that you've got no evidence one way or the other.

It's more common now than it was 10 years ago, but it's fairly uncommon if you aren't sampling from just young liberals.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's pretty common around where I am, but I suppose it depends on the area. I imagine the polling rate wouldn't be very high in the deep south.

-snip-

Thanks Seventh. And it's not just an academic definition, it's pretty common. The fact of the matter is, what chromosomes you have don't always equate to how you act, think, or look. Not only is there no harm in using it, but it greatly benefits those who have had gender dysphoria and have made a transition. You have less people committing Self Delete, more happier people that no longer suffer from a serious condition that they have no control over. It's a win-win all around.

« on: April 21, 2016, 05:43:49 PM »

Having one "family bathroom" so to speak is not a waste at all for reasons completely unrelated to transgenders (Most school I've seen have at least one) and works for them too as an added bonus.
Having 4 is just wasteful and a waste of money.

unilove bathrooms only occupy 1 person anyways

Which doesn't matter because like OP said there's only like 3 people who will actually use it as their primary bathroom

i still havent seen any clarification, are these bathrooms that anyone can use or are they bathrooms that ONLY "gender-neutral" people can use? if it's the former then holy stuff people here are getting triggered over nothing

Basically yeah. It's a waste to have 4 but the idea itself is not an inherently bad thing.
