biologically you don’t change from male to female, and that is true.

“Biological sex” refers to many different traits, some of them changeable, some of them not. It would not be inaccurate to refer to medical transition as changing one’s biological sex

you mean she dislikes her father

someone with a developmental disability in which they mentally remain very much a child for their whole life

Adults with down syndrome are not “mentally children”. Some people with down syndrome are able to live and function independently, and even among those who don’t, they are disabled adults with higher support needs, not children. Being disabled doesn’t stop time from passing, disabled people still fucking age.

and you know what else? People with down syndrome are perfectly capable of having consensual sex. Because they’re grown fucking adults who can think for themselves. To declare them children does them a disservice and robs them of their autonomy

Segregation in the United States lasted long enough for separate dialects of English to form.

dude, european jews were segregated so long that new languages formed

I’ve actually heard some transphobes say that hysterectomies should be banned because the uterus is a vital organ that women need to survive

Yes it’s awesome and sexy. Don’t be a weenie.

Does every post you make need to have some random-ass image

The term is “intersex” (which covers a broad range of sex variation including “true hermaphroditism” though the term hermaphrodite is considered offensive when applied to a human). Typically intersex people are assigned either male or female at birth. If they are born with ambiguous genitalia, they are given surgery as infants to make them match their assigned sex (which has many negative side effects such as scarring, sterility, pain during urination/sex, and gender dysphoria). They may also be forced onto hormones to make them go through the “correct” puberty. Conservatives are generally in support of this practice, and laws that have been passed against trans healthcare have contained exceptions to allow for nonconsensual procedures on intersex children

Hentai is just drawn porn. Not all of it is rape stuff, and there’s loads of rape/incest/abuse roleplay in live action porn too.

No it isn’t. Cats are domesticated. They have no natural habitat because they aren’t wild animals.

this is kind of ridiculous. do you realize how broad a term “disability” is? my parents have poor eyesight and need glasses. are they bad people for having kids when they knew we would inherit that?

One thing I’ve noticed is that people often think it’ll be a lot harder than it actually is. I see it all the time, people talking about how they put off switching to firefox or linux or whatever more private thing because they thought it would be super difficult and then they did it and it was really easy

“Not understanding other people’s feelings” is called lacking empathy, which is a common autism symptom. I’m saying this because it seems like you might be confusing “empathy” with caring about people, a misconception which harms people who lack empathy.

Sex is a lot more complicated than male/female. There’s a bunch of different sex characteristics that make up “sex” and people can have all sorts of different combinations of them. If you just use a male/female binary, that doesn’t tell people what sex characteristic you’re referring to. Maybe something affects people based on chromosones, in which case people who are xy but otherwise “female” (like with cais) would go in the “male” category and vice versa. Or maybe something affects people based on hormones, in which case transgender people taking hrt would have to be categorized based on that. If you say “male/female”, no one knows if you’re talking about hormones, or genitals, or chromosones, or gonads, or whatever else, so it’s best to be specific and use language like “people with [body part]”

People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. “People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly.” in this case, saying “women” would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist

Suicide forums are really a symptom of a much bigger issue about how we as a society talk about suicide. Banning them really won’t help
