At restaurants, they usually swipe and then bring you a receipt to sign. Yes, we still have the magnetic strip enabled. Most retailers it’s tap/RFID or chip read, but I still run into old POS hardware that requires a mag swipe (not often - I think Visa charges the merchant more for these transactions). EDIT - I much prefer chip/PIN and wish it were the default here. And wish all US cards had a PIN (some don’t, and th…

> This causes problems in Europe with unmanned terminals (gas stations after hours, train ticket self-service). I think you should be safe with a NFC enabled card for now. Apple Pay for example works in most places in my experience (even all around the world, except US). Physical cards might have a limit for contactless payment somewhere between 20-100€. And not all devices have a pin pad to enter the required pin th…

The problem I had in the UK was unmanned gas stations (at night). My main card apparently didn’t support a PIN at the time (2018?). So filling up at night was problematic (had to use my ATM card which did have a PIN). I ran into something similar in Italy in 2017 at the Florence train station - self-service terminal wanted a PIN.

“Markers” are irrelevant. Either your body is capable of producing male gametes or it’s capable of producing female ones.

That's just trivial to debunk. Infertile people may produce neither. Less trivial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/46,XX/46,XY https://academic.oup.com/bjs/article-abstract/69/5/279/61857... "Ovulation in a cytogenetically proved phenotypically male fertile hermaphrodite" Ovotesticular syndrome: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/ovotesticular-disorde...

There are still only two types of gametes, and a body may produce only one. Infertility and other disorders don’t change that fact, and your linked material says nothing to contradict this.

You could at least bother to read the titles; "Ovulation in a cytogenetically proved phenotypically male fertile hermaphrodite" is pretty clear.

> Histology of his removed ovary suggested that ovulation had, at some time, occurred. He had also fathered a child and this is believed to be the first case of a cytogenetically proved true hermaphrodite who is fertile as a male.

That's a single human body that produced both forms of gamete.

People of ambiguous sex exist, and there are only two sexes. I suspect you’re more than capable of accepting these two truths simultaneously.

So, which is this individual, who produces both forms of gametes?

Am I, with no gametes, a null?

I’m confident that you’ll figure it out on your own.

trans* people aren't crossdressers, and no, you wouldn't. Pick a random thirst-trap influencer: on almost every post on their TikTok or Insta you'd see multiple comments suggesting they are trans . Simply, there isn't a way to tell because as there is no biological marker that is a binary, as much as some would like to believe otherwise. Sex is a bimodal distribution, and as such there are people, cis and trans , tha…

Sex is not bimodal, it’s binary. We as a society have to be able to just get past this. I, for example, am a male (sex) - but I identify as a woman (gender identity). These two things can be true at the same time, and do not conflict.

Identifying as a woman (gender identity) does not mean you are a woman (female sex). Being male precludes this in reality.

I don't think you're familiar with how debit cards work across the planet if you think that "just losing it" is somehow a problem, or that debit cards don't come with buyer protection? If you lose your card, you report it lost with a quick phonecall to your bank's dedicated security number, and that card is now dead. If someone tries to use it before you report your card, you get to dispute those charges, and if they…

credit card has much longer dispute window and higher odds of refund. merchant can delay shipment knowing that if you use debit that you cannot dispute. it happens a lot.
