Looks like Pete is outdated. Today there is only two genders.
Oh Mike. You used to be almost reasonable. Almost. Now you think science can be determined by executive order.
Really?
Try this for size.
Meet The Blob, A Creature That Has Almost 720 Sexes — But No Brain
*The yellow net-like bits are “the blob” (Physarum polycephalum), a plasmodium slime mold that.
The blob is remarkable for many reasons, not the least of which is that it has almost 720 sexes, but also because it has a variety of impressive superpowers, including the ability to move by as much as one centimeter per hour without the aid of legs or fins or wings, the ability to find and digest food despite having no eyes and no stomach, the ability to heal itself in just two minutes if it’s cut in half, the ability to double its size each day and the ability to attain a size of several square kilometres. It’s also nearly impossible to kill.

So, you want to go down that pathway. Back in the 60s we had gender. Then some educated idiots thought that we needed gender roles. Next, we had gender identity. All this was so over-educated idiots could feel like they were in the elite society.
Where is the common sense in taking a understood term and changing the meaning in the western societies of the world. It is no wonder that people stick to religion? When the elites can’t seem to make any logical sense of science and nature.
Where is the logic when a person says their gender is a dog? And that you’re kindergarteners must listen to drag queen story hour. Yes, I said kindergarten. Heard that the other day while listening to a Supreme Court justice asking questions on case arguments.
It seems the more we educate the people the more uneducated they become. Example, trump is getting rid of a technocratic government. The elite keep calling Trump, Hitler. Yet, history tells us it was Hitler getting control of the technocratic government in Germany that gave him power. As ours was the Supreme Court Chevron deference ruling. In Germanys it was the Enabling Act which allowed Hitler to get around any safeguards of power.
Thus, as trump is getting rid of our technocratic government. We have people calling Trump, Hitler. So basically, they’ve been educated to the point that they cannot communicate properly. And saying something that historically is not true or just the opposite.
OK, we can let the BLOB have as many genders says it needs. And we’ll allow that for all creatures that have no brains.
Science
Brain and Gender are totally separate properties and the fact that transgender identification is a fact shows the logical error. It has to do with the biochemical balances that occur in the human or oher animal biomes .
That is like saying maternal instinct is species specific.
The science says individuals having an extra X chromosome are still genetically male.
I will repeat myself, I think:
I specify that the following is true for 99 % and more of the individuals, there are exceptions I do not ignore them, I do not despise them.
-
Each human being is born with a genetic sex, man or woman,
-
Each human being is born with a sexual, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual orientation,
-
Each human being has a psychological sex, feels man, woman, or “gender fluid”
And the genre?
The genre results from a social construction, it includes all the characteristics, character traits, feelings, attitudes, expected behaviors in a given society, for its members, according to their biological sex.
The first difficulty is that, in the current vocabulary, the word genre has become the equivalent of other words.
Contrary to what naturalists have long explained, homosexuality is common in animals.
I’m going to repeat myself again, what the conservatives call LGBT propaganda is education for tolerance and acceptance of the other. They are against because in fact, they are homophobic and transphobic.
Indeed, for them, what they believe to constitute the natural order of things, represents a well-tidy whole, where everyone occupies an unchanging place, whereas in fact, it is a social construction.
Thanks Morgan. Although a comment about brainless slugs should have ended this. Mike is using sex, gender, and orientation interchangeably so I doubt he’ll ever take any of this seriously.
Nice wordsmithing. Good job.
On the other hand, I am no wordsmith. You seem like a person who can deal with the viewpoints and not get sidestepped by my bad grammar.
I will use as a datum point a standard employment application which used to have “Gender” followed by two boxes with a M or an F. You needed to check one of them.
Now the standard employee information form uses “Sex:” Male, Female. Lausten thinks I am the one using these items interchangeably. Maybe so. But thirty years of changing of “climate change” meanings have basely brought the term to mean “weather” in the political legal meaning. I see the same thing going on with the alphabet people’s viewpoints of not being able to call a dog a dog.
You have a long road ahead. Might I suggest Education and Propaganda. By Carl Joachim Friedrich to shorten the path.
Question. How did the alphabet propaganda work in Afghanistan at the American funded universities? It cost Americans lives and money. It basically showed that American propaganda of alphabet thinking created a political consumption of common sense that the most powerful military in the world could not prevail against.
Throwing around words that end in phobic does not prove much more than a need for attention.
When the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was arguing an alphabet issue dealing with the education of our children. She asked why the kids were being taught about bonda** because of the leather strap outfits being worn in the children’s books. She was informed that it was not about bonda** (I am forbidden to use the word by the computer), it was about drag Queens. So, you can bring up the point that I am not in line with alphabet thinking. But I am in good company. The justice wasn’t buying it for a minute.
In the news right now, there is the 3rd grader that came home and ask the dad to explain what butt plugs were. The teacher was teaching them about sex and said she preferred butt plugs.
Until about 100 days ago, if the parents ask any questions they would have been put on a terrorist watch list. So, what have we been dealing with, propaganda or education?
I have no problem with adults promoting or dealing with what they think. But I draw a red line when it comes to our children. In today’s America, it feels to me like that governmental departments are filled with people that know that they cannot make it in the public world. Therefore, they work for the government for the protection of employment. And I think they get their kicks out of throwing wrenches in the gear works of any Conservatives or trump supporters trying to do business with the state or federal government. Bukele had to clean up the corruption of gangs in his country. America needs to clean up corruption in its departments and get them operating in a commonsense method or Americans will have a much harder life.
Always fun to play logical fallacy with you
A teacher. I used to “do my own research” on these, but I’ll leave the burden of proof on you. This one teacher doesn’t prove anything about the curriculum standards.
Ad populum. Your Afghanistan story is even worse. If you want to popular with Medieval standards of decency, there are plenty of countries for that, or some places in Oregon.
I made this one up, the “What about the children” fallacy. See Bill Hicks for a full description.
I’m sure this has a name too. The fallacy of dictators, that they’re somehow compelled to “crackdown” and “use excessive force” because the leaders before them did such a bad job. Never mind that they cut deals with the gangs just like their predecessors and they arrest political enemies along with the bad guys.
Four Reasons Why the U.S. Should be Concerned about What’s Happening in El Salvador - WOLA
In “The Lord of the Rings”, why can’t Gandalf touch the One Ring?
The reason for this is one of the most important keys to understanding the entire Lord of the Rings saga, this is said and repeated countless times throughout the book in different ways, but perhaps, really, something was lost throughout the 9 hours of the films.
Gandalf does not WANT to touch the ring. Just as Galadriel resists the temptation to take it when Frodo offers it to her willingly.
And all this because “Power Corrupts”.
Sauron and the Ring are allegories for the corruption that inevitably arises when too much power is concentrated in one place . In this case, the power to enforce one’s will over all others, in other words, a dictatorship.
Even if it started with the best of intentions, whether to build a more advanced, industrial and technological world (as Sauron wanted), or to create a glorious empire (as Isildur wanted), or to defeat a very strong enemy (as Boromir wanted) or to promote ethical values, good and beautiful things (as Galadriel would do), the ends do not justify the means.
Even without the One Ring, Gandalf and Galadriel already have a great deal of power. Each of them already has one of the Three Elven Rings, and they are immortal leaders, wise and knowledgeable in the magical arts (not to mention that Gandalf is practically a demi-god). If one of them were to seize the ring and be corrupted by it, the result would be unimaginably disastrous.
The only reason Sauron was defeated was his lack of empathy, his lack of knowledge about different peoples and creatures, his inability to put himself in his enemies’ shoes. It was impossible for Sauron to imagine that his enemies would be capable of leaving such a powerful weapon in the hands of the most insignificant and obscure creature in Middle-earth, much less that they would come up with a plan to destroy the ring.
But Gandalf? If there is one thing that Gandalf did throughout his existence, it was to dedicate himself to getting to know creatures and people, different cultures, studying their strengths and weaknesses, how they thought and how they acted…
If Gandalf touched the ring and was corrupted, he would be far worse than Sauron, perhaps impossible to defeat.
And he knew it.
Trump does not know it.
You cherry picking. Does one terrorist attack not say anything about our security system. Does death from eating contaminated food not say anything about our food system.
What I didn’t hear was that they removed the teacher from the children. The system is broken. The large school districts are paying thousands of teachers to stay home to keep them away from children. That’s because it costs them too much to try to fire a teacher. When I was in San Diego in the 1990s. There were over 2500 teachers being paid to stay home. I wonder what the numbers are today.
You are on a tangent. Share what you are smoking.
Trash in, trash out. Bukele is looked at as an authoritarian and autocrat. Where do you get a dictator. Never mind, I think I already know.
What’s the difference? Please don’t cut and paste AI
I think that’s my point. You saw some headline, believed it, and repeated it.
Would it matter if it was a private school?

You mean 1 teacher from a million teachers may have used that phrase in a university philosophical class?
And that single instance should be used to restrict all teachers from using the term “bondage” ever, for all time because it tends to corrupt the language?
Lets examine the term “hysteria” and see how that term came to apply to men.

AI is here to stay. I can ask one question on AI and get the general consensus at this moment on the issues and sometimes followed by articles to back up the facts.
When you called Bukele a dictator. The first questions I had was, why is the Trump administration working with Bukele. Why was Bukele invited to the White House. The next question was. If he was a dictator. Then was Bukele, a CIA puppet.
To get my answers I ask AI if Bukele was a dictator. AI said no. And followed up with a couple of reliable articles.
I don’t think Bukele is a CIA puppet because he took drastic steps in disposing of the gangs.
What is your thinking on the reason for not cutting and pasting from AI?
Your point is way off.
Unless you were born yesterday you know how it works in the big government departments. If you are a major screw up. Nobody wants you to work in their group. So, you get promoted up the ladder as the easiest way to get rid of you.
In the case of the teachers. They of course don’t tell you to sit at home. They give you a job of teaching teachers how to teach or how to administer the newest programs.
Private schools don’t have the same management issues public schools have. I would have been able to set up labor leasing to private schools with no problems.
When analyzing the administration of public schools. They told me they had two problems.
One was spending half their time in lawsuits with the parents.
The second problem was spending half their time in lawsuits with the teacher’s union.
They said they really had no time to spend on improving the teaching system.
An example of what? Do I have to wait for the book to come out?
That was one of your more creative diversions. Very entertaining.
