@shibao @chjara religion isn't topical anymore and we generally accept the existence of different religions even if we don't all follow the same thing.

@Moon @chjara @shibao @nephitejnf problem there is the "highschool biology!" crowd not knowing any biology
-
@nephitejnf @chjara @shibao I think with trans, there is this idea that you can "talk them out of it" using facts and logic.
-
@Moon @chjara @shibao I may look at you weird, but I won't harass you for wanting to be different. And I expect you won't harass me to accept your ideas at face value. The problem is people have gotten to the point of harassing people for not accepting their ideas.Every good missionary when told "no" goes on to the next person that may be open rather than trying to cram it down someone's throat.

@chjara @shibao I'm not endorsing harassing people over it.
-
@shibao @chjara my basic point is that trans acceptance is a minority opinion everywhere except for white western elites for the most part.
-
@nephitejnf @chjara @shibao @Moon it's also surprising discovering earth is round and light bends around heavy things
-
@shmibs @chjara @shibao @Moon Yeah, well I'd be confused too if someone told me a man was really a woman, especially as a five year old.
-
@Moon @chjara @shibao @nephitejnf lot less weird when you realise XX person with SRY translocated in somewhere will all-else-normal become a man (or XY + broken -> woman

@shmibs @chjara @nephitejnf @shibao I don't really know completely the overlap between biology and gender because I've seen a lot of conflicting information about it. You know the way that they were saying "don't do your own research on covid" because you're not an expert? This stuff is at at least the same level but it impacts something that we deal with all day every day. and we changed how you deal with it in the last five years.
