Well, looks like I wasn't banned before.

Oh well!

I sometimes wish getting a ban would mean that I wasn't allowed to read that shit either. That would help so much.

Yeah. I'm more worried about repairability etc.

What do you mean by “doing something special” if not treating the trans man as a man and trans woman as a woman? If you are more specific maybe I can try to clarify why people might have thought it was transphobic.

I mean pretty much just that in the general sense. I'm not sure where the confusion about this rose from. Perhaps from the context of some sports, where drawing the line is not this easy?

And for the record I tend to agree with flyingsquid from the linked thread- definitions should be rigorous and accurately/comprehensively describe reality.

Agreed. Difference is that I think the biological definition describes reality very well, even if not perfectly. It doesn't seem to me that any competing definition is doing a better job.

But it's perfectly fine not to 100% agree about this. It's the insinuation (that I might be imagining) of being evil that's disturbing.

If anything is creating a huge amount of controversy and "outrage", it's probably either entirely invented by them, or the very least significantly amplified by them. Take a memory trip to 2 decades ago and think about what we're passionately arguing about today that just weren't an issue back then. Those kinds of things.

Depressingly enough, they seem to have their tentacles on both the far left (due to historical reasons) and far right (due to being politically pretty much identical these days). This is also where a lot of hate towards centrists, liberalists and moderates comes from, as those camps don't have historical or political links to them, making those groups somewhat less easy for them to manipulate.

As a recent example, see the "Both sides!" post in Political Memes@lemmy.world

Might be a cool (edit: or probably cringy, given current democrats) meme campaign, listing all the things that are better than Trump one by one. You could have a new one every day until the election day easily.

USA has declared a neo-nazi organization operating in Scandinavia as a terrorist organization, giving them the same status as entities like ISIS and Hamas. Good times.

He probably gets more than the fine is from his donations due to this.
