    That statement is not supported by plenty of scientific research. One of the problems is that organizations like WPATH suppress any research that contradicts the trans narrative, a…

    > The LGBT community itself has people (TERFs) in it who believe transgender people are just men pretending to be women for sexual gratification. Not all transwomen are like this, …

    Comment #19584782

    The problem is that things like the USA's recent Equality Act go as far as to define sex in terms of gender identity. Trans activists are encouraging the equation of gender and sex…

    "Transwomen" are just males, i.e. men. They have male biology. This is not frivolous, and not up for debate: it's extremely important that we do not lose the ability to talk about …

    I'll reply to the most salient point: > This tweet says nothing of the sort, nor would I expect it to, as no one in the history of the world has ever suggested the contrary. This i…

    > This is not that nuanced argument. I can assure you no one that is trans "pretends" to be a woman for sports records. That comment (as well as the word choice of "disgusting") sh…

    Sport is a huge issue that affects a large number of people. You cannot just brush it aside like that. The same reasoning is going to apply to e.g. restroom usage as well.

    What's wrong with this tweet? This is a common view. Gender identity is a very extreme concept that erases sex as a protected characteristic.

    The framing here is really disingenuous. Being concerned about men who "identify" as women being allowed in women's sport is completely reasonable and not mere "resentment". There …

    Easy fix: ask for sex instead of gender. 3 options: male, female, won't state. Genuine intersex people are incredibly rare and have faced this choice many times before and will jus…

    I don't have a clue about VR stuff, and this is the first time I'm hearing about "Firefox Reality". Why do you need a special browser? What's different about this one?

    I'm really confused, IFTTT is free for individuals and the signup flow was very easy for me. What exactly did you do to go so off track?

    Why doesn't it make sense? You don't redownload it every time.

    Eh? I don't really understand; a progressive web app is standalone, but of course the browser has to be involved, it's a web app .
