General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1441

What isn't helpful tho? I'm trying to understand exactly what the article is saying lol

 

I’m not surprised considering he’s into unsolicited dick pics and scamming on Mary.

 

People are saying that sex is purely a social construct.

 

now this is where I have to draw the line

 

Everyone seems to want Ramona gone but I stand by what I said a couple days ago

 

Marianne cmon this is obviously dumb

 

no, gender is a social construct.

sex ≠ gender

 

She must have been reading this thread. You're welcome Marianne

 

if AOC runs for senate say hello to rep St. Nate.

 

Okay well riddle me this:

Since you care so much about freedom of speech and people being silenced and not heard out, why are you not hearing out trans people? in fact why does any of this matter to you at all? Aren't you fighting for freedom of speech and for all people and no one to be silenced? Or is that just for the few people you like on youtube? How does telling someone they're wrong about themselves, policing their body, and perpetuating hate against them factor into this reality you claim to envision?

Because you taking on the view point that a transperson isn't "biologically" their gender is you silencing and discrediting them, a whole group of people, not just some dude making bank off youtube. All these talking points your peddling are coming from people who either just don't like to be corrected and would rather poke holes and make up hateful shit rather than just accept someone for who they are, or just know transphobia/dunking on "SJWs correcting pronouns" sells to their demographics. Trans people have the highest rate of violence against them and are constantly belittled and ignored, I'm sure they have many "longform" discussions on the subject for you to find.

 

I regret trying already tbh

 

If this world was perfect starting now our political timeline would look something like this:

2020: Biden wins and becomes President
2022: AOC beats Schumer and becomes senator
2024: VP Elizabeth Warren runs in place of Biden and wins
2028: Warren declines to run for re-election due to age, AOC wins nomination and then wins the election

That would be our best shot at a progressive future imo

 

I think AOC would only run for Senate is Schumer retired, she needs the Dem establishment to back her and she knows that. She already has a high enough profile to gain notoriety without moving to the Senate, and she needs more progressive members to build a coalition around.

Anyway, I don't even want to think about 2020, I can't begin to think about 2024. World might be over by then anyway.

 

2034: America is underwater

 

Or:

 

youre sitting here discreding transgender people's existence by bringing up sex when we're talking about gender. thats what youre doing when you start talking about "biologically" this and "sex" that

 

nah it be like this

 

Yes thats what I thought but people are actually saying that sex isn't real too. So I was confused.

 

I think the point most people are trying to make is that the shit some of the people you are quoting is close to being on par with stuff like Holocaust denial and the like. As in, they say some really shitty things about marginalized groups and then say it’s “science” when...the “science” they’re quoting isn’t exactly...unbiased, to say the least.

but I now see I’m 4 pages behind and so I’m guessing by the time I get to the end of this either this point will have already been made or someone would have bowed out of the thread lol

 

You are talking down to me now and on an disrespectful level so I'm not going to engage with this. I've never disrespected you or your opinions or talked down to you.

 

I literally thought we were talking about if biological sex was real or not? I'm going to bed because I think I'm just extremely confused out of exhaustion.

 

who? who are these people?

or... are you listening to people who say there are people who say sex isn't real?

 

i mean if you really want to get into it, sex isn't this straightforward binary you think it is either...

The Myth Of Biological Sex

and if you really want to read a differing view point, how about this from someone taking on the many claims JK Rowling made, the same claims you and the IDW grifters you keep trying to get us to listen to are making.
