There has always been hundreds of genders, and it's always been a political lynch pin: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/lgbtq-institute-in-germany-was-burned-down-by-nazis

Have you tried eating the rich by yourself? It really helps to have others hold em down.

Do people go to these to network? Because I think you could just ask ChatGPT how to use it to make money and get the same results.

He's already a martyr in the eyes of many, but yeah, we don't need to make that a larger portion of the population.

I hear Vietnam has an excellent way to curtail "inflammatory" speech that works well on billionaires.

Remember that time the Supreme Court decided our 2000 presidential election? I do. OP must be old...

Yeah, the short of it is if you are a landlord and you're not undermining your own industry by encouraging tenants to become owners of their own personal property, then you're not community minded in the socialist (own the means of production) sense. There are exceptions, like one case where a rapper bought a poor neighborhood but did so to keep rent hikes and evictions from happening, arguably giving those families more stability so they have a chance to build family wealth.

Is this what equal opportunity under the law looks like?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 9 months ago

It should be obvious that I don't agree with the question because of what I perceive to be a categorical error.

I'm not directly addressing whether it's okay but that there are categorical differences in the examples given. We might as well ask why we can't discriminate based on hair color, since that too is categorically different than gender. That being said, bathrooms discriminate based on gender and not sex, so maybe ask why people think that is okay.

I'm just pointing out the obvious difference between the two categories: one is based on gender the other is based on sex. It's like asking: "if they're allowed to discriminate on gender, then why not this other instance (that is based on sex)?" But without making what is in the parenthesis explicit - when someone responds "trans women are women" they are saying what is in the parenthesis.
