Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Your caregivers created a broken person.
The person you're responding to has also commented "You are obviously referencing hitler, a man who lead his country to the greatest heights it had see in a long time, until the western world decided he was evil."
Their opinions are obviously worthless.

I'm in a better position to know than you, and you're just wrong. I suspect deep down you know that though; you're just a bigot.
Generally speaking, usually someone who is a mature female. However, some females turn out to be trans men, and some males turn out to be trans women (hence, "trans").
Glad I could clear that up for you, not that I'm dumb enough to think you were asking in good faith. It's pretty easy to answer when you don't need everything to be laid out in black and white terms because you can't handle the diversity of the human experience.
What's the context?
Are we talking about "woman" as femininity in a social context? Reproductive?
...because that's how language works?
If someone shows me a person and asks if that person is a woman, it will depend on "whether i perceive them as a woman in that moment"
If we're talking about gender as a social concept in society, a woman is "a person the majority perceives as a woman"
If we're talking about one's identity, a woman is simply "someone who perceives themselves as a woman"
If we're talking about genetics, a woman is a person with 2 x chromosomes, if we're talking about primary sex characteristics, a woman is a persob with a vagina (or do we wanna limit it to having had one from birth? Both yes and no answers might be relevant depending on the context), etc.
even if you take gender out of the picture entirely and pretend like someone who looks like a woman, sounds like a woman, behaves like a woman somehow isn't a woman, you'd still need context to define it.
It's also a question that I have never fucking asked myself in my life in a general sense, because it's utterly irrelevant except in very specific contexts.
Same reason as why dictionaries have multiple definitions for a single word. The specific meaning of a word is dependent on the context it's used in. Languages also evolve as we discover more about the world we live in -- new words are created and old ones get updated to better fit reality.
Sometimes people willfully ignore that in an attempt to force a discussion to a conclusion that isn't true. They don't like nuance or context, because those are the death of a bad argument.
A woman is a mature female human.
A girl is a young female human.
Comment removed for asking 'what is a woman?'
The censorship on this sub is hilarious, lol.
Because the mods aren't stupid and understand exactly what they were doing.
This isn't Reddit, and this community isn't going to tolerate bigotry thinly disguised as "just asking questions" and "polite" behavior.
Ok. I guess they won't facilitate normal discussion, then.
It facilitates good faith discussion. Sealioning isn't that.
No it doesn't. It facilitates and echo chamber where people are literally afraid to ask questions to achieve a greater understanding.
I love that my simply existing can trigger a nazi like you so easily. You must know your anger changes nothing at all. Just a scared angry little person you are, raving and ranting.
You are conflating sex and gender. It is you being ignorant. Not surprising from someone who thinks Hitlers nazi Germany was the height of a state though.

I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. I hope you’re not. The fact that you’ve made two scientifically verifiable errors, gender = sex, and asserted it’s only a binary scale, suggests to me you’re not, in which case you should rethink joking about this - not everyone will get it.
Biology is more complicated than your poor attempts to draw lines and parcel up stuff nicely so your brain won't hurt. Transgender people have existed from before you were born.
Stfu
explain why you keep jerking off to trans porn then
