Why Eliminating the SAT is bad for students from poor families

Real/normal females NEVER openly talk about “that.” If you know 12-15 year old girls asking BOYS for tampons, they are FREAKS. Put the products in THE GIRLS’ bathrooms, and encourage them to take everything they need.

Anyone thinking BOYS need to be actively exposed to that is also a FREAK.
JFC, ok boomer.
If my wife or child needed supplies and I could go into the men's room and get them I'd be thrilled.
As for 'normal females' I'm beginning to think you don't know any.

Good. Name calling how very adult of you. Bad thing is your probably a year or two from being a boomer yourself. Guess we can add you to the ignore list.
 
At birth, a person no more has a gender identity than they do intelligence or personality or any other complex psychological characteristic.


Are you saying that all men (and women) are born equal in terms of psychology? Intelligent, personality, IQ are identical for all, and they are development through environment?
 
I’m not interested in name calling, nor am I interested in diving into a university lecture.
That’s because I don’t think it’s necessary.
I have my opinion and others have theirs.
Aren’t we still entitled to that?
I’m out but I do look forward to reading about the first transitioned male to give birth.
 
Easy to identify who never played varsity sports, changed a tire, or who served in the military. LOL.
I played varsity sports. I’ve changed many tires, including for all the random strangers on the side of the road I pull over to help. Never served in the military.
Have been lucky to experience no personal struggles with my gender identity or sexuality but have loved ones not so fortunate to enjoy the convenience and acceptance of being so mainstream, and if I ever witnessed you or anyone else personally mocking them as FREAKS as you so proudly do on here, that would not end well for you.
I don’t feel the least bit “groomed” or “force fed” or required to do quadruple anything to “tolerate” and accept and not mock as FREAKS those humans who look different or pray different or identify differently or are differently abled than me. I take it that all the ADA accommodations that have become increasingly prevalent are also sources of heartburn for you. Them damn FREAKS, right?

What you make abundantly clear again and again in your neverending litany of grievances about all the ways in which our evolving humanity pisses you off is that you choose to be a super miserable and unkind person. I hope whatever drives you to be that way eases up for you and that you can be happier and more accepting of the awesome and varied world around you.

I agree with you. And not only do I agree, I believe your concept could be reciprocal to benefit all genders. There are times when I get jock itch something fierce and would be thrilled if my wife or daughter could go in the women's room and get me a tube of Tinactin.

Truthfully, the absence of Tinactin and Lamisil in the women's restrooms is simply appalling.
Yours in solidarity,

I am saying that gender affirming surgery necessarily changes the reproductive ability of a person, which according to the definition of sex that ascribes it to reproductive ability means that gender affirming surgery necessarily changes a person's sex.

If the ability to become pregnant determines whether a woman is female, as that narrow definition denotes, then postmenopausal women and women who have had hysterectomies are not female. If the ability to father kids determines whether a man is male, as that narrow definition denotes, then men who are sterile or who have had a vasectomy are no longer male.

The counterfactual would hold true as well: if the inability to become pregnant determines that a person is male, then a person who has gender affirming surgery and is no longer able to become pregnant is, by that definition, male. If the inability to father children determines that a person is female, then a person who has gender affirming surgery and is no longer able to father children is, by that definition, female.
Thank you for that.

There are also situations that for whatever reason, some couples don't have children. And, it's not because they don't try, nor is it because they don't want children. Does the fact that some people don't sire children make them not female or not male? No, it doesn't.
 
I guess a lot of people have not studied a lot of of diseases where children are born with XXY, XXXY chromosomes.
Actually yes. Klinefelter and Jacobs syndrome being the most common of these rare occurrences.

Klinefelter syndrome: a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome (XXY).

The X chromosome is not a "female" chromosome and is present in everyone. The presence of a Y chromosome denotes male sex. Boys and men with Klinefelter syndrome are still genetically male, and often will not realize they have this extra chromosome, but occasionally it can cause problems that may require treatment.

XYY syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder that affects males. It is caused by the presence of an extra Y chromosome. Males normally have one X and one Y chromosome. However, individuals with this syndrome have one X and two Y chromosomes. Affected individuals are usually very tall. Many experience severe acne during adolescence. Additional symptoms may include learning disabilities and behavioral problems such as impulsivity.

Infants can't have an IQ because there are no IQ tests for infants. Intelligence and personality emerge long after birth as a result of genetic predispositions interacting with environmental variables. The only environmental variables that infants have experienced at birth are those prenatal and perinatal circumstances, and those experiences can have a profound impact on the development of more complex traits and characteristics later in life, but those traits and characteristics are not present at birth.

Infants have innate ability or latent ability for something. Perhaps it is IQ but we don't know how to test or measure it.

On another note, men have more testosterone than women. Not sure if more testosterone is present at birth. This is why generally men are more aggressive than women, take more chances, engage in more dangerous activites and sport.

Men are more successful at suicide. For men, it is a logical choice and they determine the most effective means. For women it is more an emotional choice. This is not an either or, but the statistics bear this out as a population. These behavioral traits are present in life, and I don't think they are determined by pre or post natal care.
 
Excuse me? If you are in the field that I was in, you absolutely do study genetic disorders.
Besides that reason, I think she’s also saying that it’s a lot easier, more convenient, maybe even more fun for some folks to just dismiss or belittle and mock things they/we don’t understand than to learn about them.
Intellectual curiosity is just for elitists.

Clinical depression often over a long period of time (not always) can and will effect your rational and reasonable thought for both sexes. For men, its no more "logical" than for women; and for women is no more "emotional" than for males. Clinical depression (especially if left untreated; but in many cases despite being currently treated) makes the choice more rational and logical than it should for both sexes. People can become so distraught, they can convince themselves the only way they can end their emotional pain is by killing themselves. More women do attempt suicide than men, and men do complete more suicides because of more (generally) lethal means i.e. guns, knives, or rope. Women, generally only, will more likely use more passive ways such as pills. But it can go either way. Major depression can be a silent killer in where it can breed in silence. One may "learn" suicide in their family tree and may have a genetic disposition to depression as well as alcoholism; and other forms of mental illness such as bi-polar and schiz. And, no, I'm not saying alcoholism is a mental illness. And the Spring is the time of the year where suicide attempts peak.
 
Stop making sense please. Don’t interrupt the lectures we’re getting from MEN who are surrounded by other MEN who live in an echo chamber.
For generations we’ve all been entertained (and tolerant) of our fellow human beings in television and movies who’ve dressed in clothing we determine appropriate for “the other sex” and it hasn’t been an issue. Many of us know of someone who had surgery that enabled them to “reassign” their gender, albeit in an external and mostly skin deep fashion.
But you’re correct about the reproductive ability that cannot be surgically altered.
I’m grateful that I am happy in my gender but I hope that those who have been born with the challenge of true gender dysphoria can be helped by skilled therapists.

FYI if the superior (and honestly affected) tone of some on this board keeps up, it may lose its attraction for me...
I just think this post is so wonderful! :cool:
 
Dude? Oh nozzz. I’ve been transitioned.
Huh?
Are you not familiar with how commas and lack of commas work?
If I had written “Not an emoji, dude”, then the “dude” would have been referring to you, and the sentence would have made no sense, for multiple reasons.
I did not include a comma between emoji and dude, since I was saying that I am not a dude who uses emojis.
Comprende?

What's the point here?

I mean, some people also have genetic predispositions for horrible things like Antisocial Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Bipolarity, among other mental health disorders. And the behaviors of those folks can be extreme, and socially unacceptable. Yet I don't hear anyone saying that the rest of society needs to "adapt" to their unfortunate but aberrational situation(s). No, THEY need treatment, or, in some cases, maybe a special environment in which to safely exist.

Life ain't fair. You may be dealt some horrible cards by genetics. And that absolutely sucks. But we can't be rewriting the "basics" of the conventional/normal social code to accommodate all of the statistically nominal outliers.

By 'adapt' do you mean "not act like a bigotted ass?" Because for most that isn't much of an adaption.

Had 2 friends wives commit suicide and one guy I worked with. All three used guns. No indication of any issues from all three so yes it can be very silent.
 
Wrong as usual. I carry bigotries and I'm aware of it. I don't hide from it at all. I do try to combat them, which is the difference.
I am not sure if people don't understand the actual definition of "bigot," or if it is just a reflexive part of the modern weaponized vocabulary. You know....when you disagree with someone, you loudly label them a racist, homophobe, anti-Semitic, misogynist, bigot, whatever. And if you can get the MEDIA to pick up on those usually bogus labels, you can often neutralize your target.

^^^^Exactly right. Ironically, they end up being the very intolerance they say they're fighting against. True freedom will equate to true tolerance. The problem is people's sensitivities have comprised their meaning of freedom.

Every group prefers the ingroup and distrusts the outgroup. It's part of our nature going back to when we roamed the savannahs.
Being aware of this innate preference allows you to reduce those tendencies. Ignoring it tends to bolster them.
