Talk is cheap.

Likewise.

“In 2023, trans woman Glenique Frank, who ran the race to raise money for good causes, was accused of “cheating real women out of a place” after she finished the 26.2-mile event in 4hrs 11mins 28secs – in 6,160th spot.”

The person in 6,161st place must have been gutted they didn’t get 6,160th.

It’s not necessarily pro homophobia. If it is, people might join in order to report hateful content when it appears.

New communities show up on the front page of the web site, so there is instant exposure as soon as it is created. I set up a community about seagulls, and it’s got 147 subscribers, despite only having about 6 posts. Lemmy is still small though that you can be a big fish in a little pond.

Silly question, but you did actually include malts which produce sugars that can ferment? I brew by the seat of my pants quite a lot, but I always take an OG reading.

Don’t try to move things along too quickly. Let her hide somewhere she feels safe until she’s ready to come out. Give her nice food to eat and a clean litter tray. Let her come to you - don’t try to stroke or hold her until she’s ready for it. Learn basic cat language - narrowing your eyes and looking away is a sign of friendship. When she gets close enough, stroke the side of her face to show you like her. When you get closer, bumping noses is the cat equivalent of kissing.

You wish. As long as housing is seen as an investment, there will be enough people buying to keep the prices going up.

There’s a sonic boom coming from those goalposts because they are moving so fast. You asked for an example of something in nature having more than 2 sexes because you originally said that there are only 2 sexes in the natural world.

But anyway, let’s change your requirement and make the definition of sex being only applicable to organisms that only produce one set of gametes.

By that definition, there are people who do not have a sex because their body produces both types. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovotesticular_syndrome

But wait! It’s a disorder, so it doesn’t count, right? Ask yourself why it is a disorder. The reason is that humans have decided that there are only two sexes. It’s circular reasoning. There are two sexes, so when someone comes along who is neither or both, they don’t count because they should be one or the other. Why should they be one or the other? Because there are two sexes. And round and round we go. It’s faulty logic.

Nature produces people who by your own definition are neither male or female. It is you who decided there are exactly two sexes. Nature doesn’t care about definitions that humans apply to try to shoehorn things into categories, it just does its own thing.

What are some of these things that you think have complicated biological sex? How many sexes do you think there are?

Fungi. Fungi have complicated biological sex and a Schizophyllum commune has around 23,000 sexes. You asked. I answered. Since you just dismiss any facts you don’t like there’s no point talking to you. As I said, you can believe what you want, but that doesn’t change reality. Try doing some reading rather than assuming you know everything and making a fool of yourself with your uninformed over-confidence.

You can rant and rave about it and call me names, but you can’t change reality, no matter how much you hate it. Nature and biology simply does not care what you think.

Fungi are an example of organisms that don’t just have two sexes. Sorry to break it to you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_in_fungi

Nope. It’s far more complicated than just two sexes, and the more it is studied, the more complicated it turns out to be. The notion of two distinct sexes is purely a human construct and real life is not like that.

This is from last year and Snopes has done s thorough write up on it.

It’s a perfect combination of invasion of privacy, entrapment, and snake oil. No wonder the police love it.

This seems sensible.

It’s not only vague, it’s completely wrong. You can’t over-rule biology with court rulings, and biology doesn’t care what the concept of “male” and “female” means to humans.

Yup.

Much better than those visible radio waves.

I’m expecting Starmer to fold like a cheap suit, especially with the court ruling yesterday.

Beautifully put. This is an excellent summary of the situation.
