No I think part of the issue is the idea of the world being changed not for Trans people as a whole but a tiny portion of Trans people who are vocal about not wanting to transition but wanting to be recognised as masculine or femme as they are in their entirety so macho boobs and feminine penises etc etc
So... we shouldn't make Gluten free food

Because part of the money I pay for my pasta subsidises your gluten free pasta. It's just not that profitable. In fact, that true of all food product. The normal ones (made by the same company) subsidises the gluten free ones

You are costing me money and businesses profit. You've now also stated TWICE that the whole world shouldn't change for you. So, therefore, we shouls abandon all production of gluten free products

Perfect example actually: The CDC is talking about specific problems involving specific people, in this case pregnant people, and weird folks like yourself have decided that the nomenclature is the problem while not caring about the actual problem.

The fact that "gender critical feminists" are also taking the position that a girl becomes a woman as soon as they become capable of pregnancy, a position popular with pedophiles and powerful patriarchs, is bonus stupidity.
You cant say that one demographic has it worse in a particular area. That's racist

I was going to say I'm being sarcastic here. But this is what some people believe.... so I feel like I shouldn't.

Also All Lives Matter was coined by white supremacist. Find a different Hashtag if its that important to you

I never really understood the panic about a ''great reset''. What exactly is there to fear? Everyone from the fringes to the center seems to recognize that things aren't functioning correctly anymore and that at least some change must be made. And in some areas we really should have had a reset ages ago. Global warming for instance. The current solution of either ignoring it or at best implementing half measures is a dead end. The current economic situation of wealth inequality, privatization, mechanization and the stripping down of social safety nets is a dead end.
Better the devil you know. So there's a conference of big powerful people and they're suggesting changing the world to be more equitable which would mean them losing some of their position and power and everyone just believes they are fine with this? This is a case of the house always wins one way or another and they're the house in this case so we're supposed to believe that people with their combined power and wealth could fix most of the system as it is as choosing instead or change and reset the system and that nebulous ideas will be better?

Nah there's an angle here or something to it. To paraphrase from the Sci-Fi Show Continuum "When the corporations bailed out our failing governments it was sold to us as salvation, but we now know that was a lie. We become but a bird in a gilded cage for the price of that salvation was our liberty....."

Funny because there are specific gluten free brands.
It's profitable enough in part due to the gluten free fad diets that started becoming trendy a while back.

Your analogy is probably closer to a healthcare or taxation one.

In mine because I have to have gluten free food, you also have to have it. You have to include me in everything basically.

It's in part people objecting to the a push against established reality because of edge cases existing. It's the 2 plus 2 doesn't equal 4 argument pretty much again. It's one lot of people thinking they're tearing down the system by changing things and another group of people going "The system works fine so far if imperfectly so why try to pull it all down?

Just because some women don't menstruate and some Trans Men do doesn't somehow invalidate the general argument that people who menstruate are women. Just as we don't have to throw out all our current maths just because 2+2 can sometimes not equal 4 if special conditions are applied.

In a word? Communism. There's one particular political ideology that has largely accepted that their system will never work incrementally, and they desire some variety of revolution to establish their utopia, and it's communism. Which people don't like.

So will people be confused if they use the term women a sort of "Oh I only still have the internal plumbing of a woman and am pregnant clearly this doesn't apply to me" case?

I mean I dunno I don't think that's giving much credit to the mental capacity of the maybe 3 pregnant Trans men out there.

Our world is so consumerist and supply/demand driven that the biggest Communist nation on the planet advertises it's SHOPPING MALLS.

Lmao, as cited by somebody seriously saying the words "women aren't people"

Like seriously, what mental capacity are you applying to that? Dozens of people just...saying those three words, as an argument, "defending" women

And yet most true despots who have all the money know the true way to live on and create a dynasty for your family tend to be communism.

Yeah, sure. That's why, during Covid sell out rushes, gluten free stuff was still left on the shelves or the very last to leave. Because they are so profitable. Or maybe you mean the companies that charge 5 times the amount of normal food. Which... sure. So profitable

Anyway, let's take your analogy again. Since there is transphobes, we would also have glutenphobes. These would be the people that shout THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS and pretend they have a point. Despite showing evidence that being gluten intolerant is real they would just say 2+2=4 and ignore what rhe science actually says. Because, just because you LOOK like every other human, doesn't mean you dont have a medical condition. They would just say, 'there's no such thing as gluten free

Then they would ban you from bathrooms because there is a chsnce that someone will pretend to be gluten free and raped someone

I wonder when transphobes will realise that THEY were the one saying gender was 2+2=5. They pretend their version of gender was real and now we know its not.

Lastly, I would also really love people to stop pretending that asking for certain pronouns is 'changing the world'. It's changing one thing. Stop making it an apocalypse

Maybe where you are.
In the whole "There may be problems ahead period" just before UK lockdowns started some of the gluten free stuff was running low. I ended up picking up potato pasta just incase at one point.

You want to know why the gluten free stuff was left on the shelf and people rushed to buy everything else?

1) Most people don't realise about gluten free stuff so likely went to their normal places to get the products not the gluten free sections / areas.
2) It tends to taste worse than normal stuff anyway.

Anyway, let's take your analogy again. Since there is transphobes, we would also have glutenphobes. These would be the people that shout THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS and pretend they have a point. Despite showing evidence that being gluten intolerant is real they would just say 2+2=4 and ignore what rhe science actually says. Because, just because you LOOK like every other human, doesn't mean you dont have a medical condition. They would just say, 'there's no such thing as gluten free
There are people who claim there isn't such a thing as Gluten intolerance lol. You probably hoped that was just some insane idea but no it's a thing.

2+2 does = 4 in almost every circumstance when you don't change the actual question. There were 4 lights.


Should the edge cases mean we must redefine reality to account for them?

if a kid puts 2+2= 17,000,000 on a test must we mark it right because under weird edge case rules it could be?
The world only functions due to accepted concepts of reality and how things are. Your example doesn't work because Gluten intolerance is a thing.

The argument that I'm not sure why you're not understanding is in reality we don't change all the rules for everyone because of the edge cases that don't follow it normally.

In my example you would have to eat gluten free food merely because I also do. Thus in my example you must accept 2+2 = 17,000,000 is the right answer because you're accounting for everyone to be included at the same time.


Then they would ban you from bathrooms because there is a chsnce that someone will pretend to be gluten free and raped someone

I wonder when transphobes will realise that THEY were the one saying gender was 2+2=5. They pretend their version of gender was real and now we know its not.

Ok on the gender argument that's a great way to give the TERFs more ammo to just throw out Gender at all and go back to Sex genotype and or phenotype.

Lastly I'd love the world to get back in touch with reality and make it so for example Jessica Yaniv couldn't sue for discrimination because a gynaecologist wouldn't example her balls

No I pointed out the logic being thrown round that all lives didn't include black live so by that logic that's how it plays out.
Sure, if we ignore the actual timelines and intents of those two statements, divorcing them of all real context in the interests of winning a meaningless semantic argument in defense of morons saying to trust the science that says women aren't people.
