define hurt. you cant just make up rules. people can say whatever they want. its free speech and its important. and are you seriously ignoring all the people who do get fired and jailed? lol wait till it happens to you i find your comment offensive so youre banned for life from the internet. is that what you want? or should my offense be my own problem? ill let you figure out which one is better

> "define hurt." In this context, intentionally denying people their identity. Those bathroom bills that force people to use the wrong bathroom, for example. But anyone who insists on calling a transgender woman "he" or a transgender man "she", even after having been corrected, is intentionally hurting them. It's intentionally being an asshole to someone. > "you cant just make up rules." We can do. Hopefully after so…

nobody is doing "denying" identity. nobody can do that. its a made up problem. nobody cares what bathroom you use as long as its not blatantly wrong. another made up problem.

youre making up rules based on feelings without thinking about anything. and youre clearly lying about getting jailed and fired. there are tons of examples of this everywhere because of PC culture. its the tyranny of the minority. heres the other comment showing sources https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21188286

if youre offended its your problem because YOU take offense to something. theres nothing to address. intent has nothing to do with it.

That number is likely under-reported, and there has been a significant rise in the number of people who feel comfortable identifying in the past few years. A study performed in 2017 found that 2.7% (of roughly 80,000 surveyed) identified as trans or gender non-conforming: https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/14... I've seen the numbers that range from ~1% (or a little under) to as much as 3%, lik…

Gender non-conforming is a much wider net. This study you link of 9th and 11th graders, it is not surprising that a large percent (2.7% as you said) reported as trans or GNC. The original comment above stated "trans", though, not T+GNC.

2.7% identified as transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, or unsure. The study just used narrow definitions of trans and GNC.

As someone who answers quite a few quesitons on SO I'd really like to see posts that were perceived as wrongfully closed to see if I agree (haha) and also to see how to fix the system. Of course I have no hope that S.O. will change anything. When they started their "be nice" campaign I suggested the "CLOSED: This is a duplicate" message should be changed to "CONGRATS: This appears to be a duplicates so you win! There…

> As someone who answers quite a few quesitons on SO I'd really like to see posts that were perceived as wrongfully closed to see if I agree (haha) and also to see how to fix the system. This person[1] was getting unexpected results when calling is_integer. According to the duplicate, the solution is that they should call is_integer... which is what they were doing. The original close voter commented 'sorry I didn't…

Follow-up: Somebody started another reopen vote shortly after I linked the question here. It slowly accumulated four votes to reopen. However, those votes have now expired, so the question will remain closed.

Also, I suspect if she weren't a moderator on Mi Yodea the "woke" community would have had much less of a problem with her. (Even on HN, the politically-correct have to attack everything related to that issue.) They intentionally took action against her on the Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah when they knew she couldn't respond. If you accept the trans community's claim that misgendering is an act of violence, then if follo…

> If you accept the trans community's claim that misgendering is an act of violence... I've found that members of the cisgender community almost uniformly take offense at being misgendered. And responses from the cisgender male community often include threats of physical violence, especially when one persistently misgenders them or challenges the validity of their maleness. That said, I'm rather troubled by Monica's…

Btw that cisgender community you speak of doesn't exist, right? You just made that up.
