Article claims SPLC is a civil rights org that tracks extremist groups.
That was surely once true, decades ago, but they long ago jumped the postmodern shark and now are largely just calling anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders a nazi. The folks, sorry I mean "folx" running it now are not trying to track extremist groups, they are documenting anyone who isn't down for the omnicause, anyone who has questions about the revolution.
Once upon a time, a political group who kept public enemy lists (SLPC "hate map) would have been seen as extremist, something not done in a pluralist democracy. Today it's standard operating procedure for critical social justice activism. If you've ever used your own eyes, looked in your pants and concluded that humans are sexually dimorphic, you're probably on the hate map.

- throwawayqqq11 6mo agoIn case your simple biology marks you as male, have you ever looked down your chest and noticed those two nipples? Yes, biology and thus sex and gender is very messy and complicated. But for the beginning, at first, you should only try to comprehend the fact that men can even -- against gods perfect design -- produce milk. I am not a single bit sorry about shaking your overly simplistic world. Maybe, someday you might even comprehend the harm, your ignorance causes. How could i not call the behavior of pretending biology is simple while going through life with the f'ing counter indication on your body "ignorant". Maybe you are a better candidate for therapy than all those who do not conform to your simplistic norms.

- slli 6mo agoYet humans, like all mammals and indeed all gonochoric species, have the two sexes - i.e. two halves of a system of anisogamous sexual reproduction - divided across two classes of individual.
- Moomoomoo309 6mo agoThat is not an accurate description of how the human sex hormones' traits are embodied, intersex people exist, sex chromosome disorders exist, and conveniently ignoring those people makes the model simpler but denies a more complex underlying truth.
- appreciatorBus 6mo agoAll biological categories are fuzzy around the edges. The existence of small numbers of people on those edges with truly physical intersex conditions in no way invalidates the usefulness of the categories for science, medicine, and our ability to protect the physically weaker of the two. https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/why-there-are-exactly-two-sexes https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/why-there-are-exactly-tw... Wear whatever kind of clothes you like, and sleep with whoever will have you, but stop demanding the world to see you as something you aren’t.
- throwawayqqq11 6mo agoAnd here comes your simplicity again ... Yes, the edges are fuzzy but biology and sociology, the 2 domains defining gender, are not one dimensional. There are many ways an individual could step out of the majority cohort with different body, brain or social perception traits. There are many gender determining factors. Imagine a empathetic, low testosterone and muscle structure male that loves to be a kindergartener. Lets say he develops homosexual tendencies in his 30s and tries to late transition in his 40s. The role he played in society never changed, "he" has always been the same feminine guy caring for children but somewhere in is life, your perception of him changed. At what stage in his life would he fall out or into your category of "protecting of the weak"? What if the same person transotions before puberty and is indistinguishable from a 'real' woman from the outside? I could keep toying with you by using your simplicity against you, since there are fuzzy edges everywhere. > stop demanding the world to see you as something you aren’t. What if its you seeing someone as something they arent? If you dont like that transwomen want to be called and regarded as "real" women, just remind yourself about the complexity of what a "real" women is and that this person primarily just wants to fit in the role and is satisfied with that social, and not biological, definition of a "real" women. In essence, the entire topic is about broad category mismatches, human dignity and respect and cognitive biases around out groups and disgust. And no matter how long you keep stare on ot, your dick wont give the full picture.
