I love how you explicitly avoided the use of the word gender and don't actually address that you're uncomfortable that some people don't fit into the social box

I love how you explicitly avoided the use of the word gender and don't actually address that you're uncomfortable that some people don't fit into the social boxes of male and female. As for vitriol against billionaires and cops, taking a stand against people abusing power is as American as the Boston tea party. If you're advocating for people to shut up and take the abuse you sound pretty authoritarian to me. Is it that hard to look at the situation and say "give me liberty or give me death" applies to poor people and black people too? I'll let James Baldwin do the talking: https://youtu.be/c3n-cI4wXCM?t=34 https://youtu.be/c3n-cI4wXCM?t=34

> If you're advocating for people to shut up and take the abuse you sound pretty authoritarian to me. No I never said that nor do I think it. There are definite problems with some cops and there are many instances of gross abuse. I have no problem with billionaires.

  You said, I quote, "it doesn't make it OK (sic: to fight back just because they abuse you)". Sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

So? What's your point? Male and female on not simple social boxes. There are real biological and physical differences between them.

  No. Sex is not a more accurate term. Sex is a more accurate term for whether or not someone has a dick or a pussy, to use the vernacular of the right. I've never heard someone say "you should care whether I have a dick or a pussy". People use the word gender because they're essentially trying to say "yes, I have a dick, I want to act and feel like a woman, and I don't don't deserve to be subjugated or murdered for it (or vice-versa in sex/gender) Yep. There are biological and physical differences between dicks and pussies, glad you got that figured out like a third grader. No one is talking about that except you. People are talking about the experiences that individuals with "gender dysphoria" have in society. You can call them mentally ill if you want, I don't care, but I think they deserve respect and protection. And, regardless, the discussion requires more nuance outside of "there are biological and physical differences".
