I get the first step. You don’t watch a video and have the urge to tell the world that it was neither good nor bad. I think they moved to stars because everyone just gave 1 or 5 eitherway

I’m pretty sure it never was different tho I usually use a plugin that shows thumbs-downs. It’s basically guessing for new videos so it’s not really useful but still
the scientific consensus here that sex is binary and entirely defined by gamete size.
Just for the record: I didn’t say that. I still disagree with you.
So an evolutionary biologist should be trusted more on gender issues than a gender studies scholar? Sure? Are you camp “hard science are inherently better than soft science even if it’s about soft science”?
I mean, sure, you can apply the evolutionary definition to humans. It’s not wrong, it’s just useless and irrelevant. But the article doesn’t stay there. It jumps to sports and prisons and what so ever. What on earth has any of this to do with gametes? I’m not saying it’s Wrong. I say it’s misleading and your article is a good example for that. Your favorite random evolutionary biologist starts with a clear cut definition and applies it to a messy context. Sure, gametes are a binary but sports is a non-sequitur from there.
And I said that you can decide whether or not you’re stupid but “words have different meanings in different contexts” and the context in question isn’t evolutionary biology. If it’s about who can have kids with whom, sure, let the gamete definition shine. If it’s about social topics, let social scientists do their job and stop spreading misinformation about social topics and social implications. Do better.
You could have engaged with my argument but instead you send an article that willfully ignores my argument as well and sprinkles in enough transphobic talking points to speak to the right while still presenting as rational and reasonable. Trans women in prisons commit far less assaults than prison warts but sure, they are the problem.
Anyway, I stand corrected. It’s not only you but you and some random blogger who are stupid. Enjoy your fruit salad with tomatoes, avocados and pumpkin until you start to consider that not every definition is valid in every context.
This is an “either I’m stupid or everybody else” moment and I let you decide on your own.
Words don’t have inherent meaning but get meaning by the people who use it in the context they do. It’s an collective and context sensitive process. I remember how in one linguistics lecture (typology), we differentiated prepositions from postpositions whereas the syntax prof was like “I don’t care if the preposition is before or after”.
Also: Judith Butler discusses your gamete definition as utterly irrelevant in this context in Who’s Afraid Of Gender so it’s not that they aren’t aware. That’s all the hint I give you.
And that’s what sex means in the context of sex vs gender. Are you new to the concept that words have different meanings in different contexts? This isn’t about evolutionary biology.
Sex encompasses everything about the body including external and internal organs, hormones, (facial) hair, voice (level), body height, … none of which are binary. Reducing it to gamete size makes it meaningless
If you happen to speak a little German, !ich_iel@feddit.org had quite a few lasagna recipes recently


I mean Russia isn’t famous for mistreating ethnic minorities. That would be hilarious.
Those are Asian and that’s why no one cares.
You forgot the panel where the tech savvy people wash their hands afterwards
“That word is made up, it doesn’t exist”
“Well, making words up is who they are created”
I mean you would feel the movement if there was any
I really don’t get it. If it was in the freezer, why will it be damaged when put back again? Is it that once defreezed some reaction goes on and shouldn’t be stopped? I really don’t get it. Would it be better to keep it outside the freezer once it warm up?
