People communicate through their appearances, even the stuff they have no control over. What kind of a prize do you want for being above it all? Or don't answer; nobody truly is above judging appearances. Except blind people and those with neurodevelopmental conditions. Interesting speculative fiction on the topic, btw.
Never said I was. Just that you have the ability to make decisions beyond the superficial.
Nobody here is actually claiming to make zero assumptions, or to draw zero conclusions from appearances. But that's not what you originally said. You were originally talking about cis- and heteronormativity: which is much more than just making personal assumptions, and steps into the realm of pressuring people to act in a certain way to abide by your own preferences.
That sounds kinda reminiscent of Discordianism! It followed a somewhat messier but familiar arc.

Sexes absolutely exist. There are distinct male and female reproductive functions. Yes, there is a lot of secondary baggage on top of those, but dismissing the baggage doesn't make the fundamental part any less real. The ability to impregnate or become pregnant are not social constructs. They are not an identity. They are physical reality, one which the continuation of the species relies on, as I've said a bunch of times.
The reason you aren't talking about your personal experience is because, if I recall correctly, you've lived out exactly what I'm saying. The logical contradiction exists only in a person of one sex thinking they are innately the opposite gender, which is also the only line of thinking that leads to medically transitioning children. Nothing in my viewpoint takes any issue with people who would challenge or dismiss societal gender roles, who would choose to live outside of that binary.
Ignoring your picture, we're talking about people.
You've missed the point I was making. When I said that a relationship between two things wasn't absolute, you then swung to "unrelated". My follow-up about female/male pregnancy was specifically about that logic.
Right. But trans people do not generally believe that a penis is necessary to be a man. You're ascribing that belief to them, but I've never actually heard it expressed by a trans person. Hence why plenty of trans people never undergo the surgery.
I have no idea if this is satire or not
That’s because we’ve let reality outpace absurdity. Satire is dead, or maybe it’s just pulled a Harold Holt after feeling it was no longer needed.
Someone fucked up. I want to complain to life's manager about this.

I didn't miss the point, I ignored it. You're not a seahorse, dummy.
Now extend this to a hundred other things. Puberty blockers, hormone replacement, name changes... none of these things are any more necessary than a penis to be a man. If none of these things are necessary, why are doctors prescribing them? I am focusing on the extreme end of beliefs, yes, because that's the place where "we have to drug children out of puberty or they'll kill themselves" comes from.
If you think "you're not a seahorse" in any way addresses the argument, then that demonstrates that you have indeed missed it.
Each of these things are associated. Not required, but associated. And some of them get prescribed because of a demonstrated improvement to quality of life and treatment satisfaction. That's really all there is to it.
You're focusing on an "extreme" belief that you've invented and ascribed to your opponents, though, rather than one they've actually expressed. Your opponents' positions are not coming from anything resembling the reductionist waffle you've cooked up.
In other words, you make shit up.
Hah! Hoo shit. Well, this does more than confirm Chappelle is just an out of touch rich old dude coasting on his past laurels. Or Musk's paycheck was too juicy to ignore. Likely both. Attacking his audience for not fawning over Musk by implying they're poor, then to comparing them to civil unrest using the pejorative rhetoric the republicans use when trying to smear protesters before just resorting to an old fashioned witless "shut the fuck up" is a pretty fucking big tell he's comfortably cemented himself fully in the walled, gated community gardens of Elysium, leaving aside why anyone would think having Musk on stage there would be a good idea in the first place. Is a sad state of affairs tbh.Elon Musk Gets Viciously Booed by Stadium Crowd at Dave Chappelle Show
“You shut the fuck up,” Chappelle said as the crowd booed the billionaire.

Which mask? Grifter? Qanon nut? Petty insecure edgelord? All of the above?
Looks like Dave Chappelle became another biatch in a box stand, willing to love his corporate overlords. You don't like Trump and his crazy fanatics, but you're willing to give Elon Musk a chance. Who is a said Trump fan boy, simp, and an egotistical tyrant when nothing better to do with his life.Elon Musk Gets Viciously Booed by Stadium Crowd at Dave Chappelle Show
