Women and LGBTQ+ people take up guns after Trump’s win: ‘We need to protect ourselves’
  • I don't own a gun and feel the same as you. I am leaning toward getting a gun safe and keeping the gun and ammo locked up and hidden. If it gathers dust that's great, but having it there if I need it would be a comfort I think.

  • Its because sexual differentiation is many process that starts with an SRY gene and ends with hormone receptors all over the body. Evolution also acts on all of it at each step of the process. A good example is like chest hair patterns on men which are all over the place.

    You can have a penis if the correct receptors are triggered while still not having testes or an SRY gene.

    Evolution also has examples of creatures that evolved so that both sexes (hyenas) or none (many birds) have a penis in different creatures and where sexuality is environmentally determined (turtles). These evolutionary pressures that created all these animals may be acting on humans also.

    Which all comes down to the idea that the way we treat people is socially constructed. Like we don't want murder so we lock up murderers.

    People who want to legislate biological binaries are saying there's an inherent danger to society in allowing the edge cases to exist. I and many others would argue this is a kind of short-sighted eugenics program that disallows human diversity for purely aesthetic reasons.

    The results are like intersex babies getting gruesome gender assignment surgeries to fit better into the binary so when scientists later poll people they get results created by the binary. We're sort of basking in our own farts when we talk about biological sex.

    Edit: it appears the person we're replying to is uninterested in factual discussion and is just here to reinforce his own hateful worldview.

  • Misinformation Laws Not Necessary, Says Meth Addict Peter Dutton
  • "can get" implies there's examples of like misinfo laws becoming orwellian. I cannot find such examples. Laws that penalize people for knowingly lying for profit, clout, etc tend to curb bombastic discourse. These standards are common in defamation suits. Extending them to more media makes sense.

    What's always orwellian is like anti terrorism laws where laws intended to curb oppositional rhetoric or groups become applied on large swaths of people.

    The actual laws they prosecuted Assange for, for instance were anti espionage laws if I recall.

  • Elon Musk brands Britain a 'tyrannical police state' and boosts far-right activist
  • Elon musks death would create a great trickle down effect as his assets were carved up by various corporations and inheritors. It would be a new golden age.

    Right now its all being hoarded in texas in a garage where Musk sleeps and pisses on a pile of deeds and gold like a little pink pig dragon.

    So if Kier Starmer had the balls to do the right thing he'd take care of this issue old school.

    What was the historical science debate that seems silliest in hind sight?

    I'm thinking of things like heliocentrism where there was some modern discovery or revelation by science that invalidated a common assumption prior.

    My understanding is that flat earth is more a recent phenomena but I'd love to hear some ancient ideas people now miss. Did people think trees weren't alive? Did people think evaporation was where things simply disappeared?

    I'd would love to hear these ideas.
