I think their point is that once biology is involved it's no longer a social construct.

I also think that people conflate sex and gender and it makes things unnecessarily confusing.

For sake of argument let's stick with binary for now.

There are words that describe sex. There are words that describe gender. And there are words that can be used as a shortcut for a combination of both.

For example (and if you don't like my example substitute your own words): a masculine female is often called a tomboy or described as butch.

TERFs probably feel that the term woman is a shortcut for feminine females, and that those who aren't female but are feminine are not Champagne, they are sparkling wine. And it's easy to see why someone would be insulted by that opinion. Strictly speaking, being told "you're not a woman" isn't necessarily an attack, or stating that you shouldn't exist. But yes (obviously!) people with extreme views jump onto that bandwagon and are willing to kill/oppress to make everyone the same cuz they can't handle weird people.

Yes, trans people are weird (queer means weird!). But weird isn't bad, and people who think weird is bad are not people I would want to hang out with, even if they also happen to be trans. Pride is about pride: own your weirdness.

If you wanna get mathematical about it, check this out

Date a bunch for "a while", and then keep the one that's better than all the previous ones. Odds of you finding the best (or even good) out of the gate are slim. Not to mention that you also probably need to grow as a person, and once you do, will attract higher quality partners and refuse to settle for weak ones.

That's some slimy ass wording.

Snowflake's position is that the customers fucked up and didn't secure their shit correctly.

Then TicketMaster says the unauthorized access happened on something "hosted by a third party" as if it's Snowflake's fault LMAO

If the cars are overused that means they require more maintenance, not less. I want walkable places but that's not the argument to make lol

No alert development, threat hunting, or ML research? No upskilling of any kind? Must be nice to work at a company with no impact to the world when it gets popped.

They aren't consciously going through a checklist in their head. But legal influences societal. Maybe in the past they made fun of someone's funny hat, got in trouble for it, got annoyed at a preachy vegan and now shits on vegans instead.

I think Dave Chappelle would disagree.
