Talking is the best way, believe me. Writing things up is easy. But talking is sooo much more revealing and effective, that I started to prefer talking over reading hours and hours of the same explanation. Being a trans person is much more

What do you mean "connected"? They can still live and feel like a man or woman, without their respective physical features, right? Just be a man, with female features (or vice versa) and surround yourself with people who support a

Well, they just can't blame me then for not understanding what's going on in their heads. What a feeling that must be, keeping it a secret that they were of opposite gender once. It's mind-boggling to me, really.

He's obviously trolling, but he does have a point. If gender is fluid why is it so important for trans people to look like women, or men? Is it a necessity? Then why adopt distinct male or female features, genitalia which do not

I don't agree with you that the article is "deceptive clickbait". What is true though, whoever uses Bing for searches instead of Google gets served by subpar search results, hence the chances are great to get served malware.

I'm only posting this, because I have reason to believe that this was already being exploited then on many systems causing DHCPv6 to flood the IPv6 protocol into Denial Of Service.

I'd like to see quantum computers actually do anything practical, anything at all, instead of making wild promises of what they might or might not be capable of. Stop promising, start delivering.

Besides, other sources say that the Pope and China have made a deal that bilaterally acknowledges both sides with compromises. China has a say in confirmation of bishops and China acknowledges the Pope as the head of church in China. So, &q

Don't forget that religions kept people from doing what they want for centuries. They also can be tools of oppression and terror. Christianity did all that and beyond. Societal value systems don't need any religion at their base,

I'd be careful with quick assumptions. Not all priests are master manipulators, and it's not always a bad thing. Grieving people often need to be manipulated to help them out of a state of mind that seems unbearable and unsolvable
