Miss Universe co-owner says trans women "cannot win" the pageant
  • I agree with you but this doesn't exactly counter their point. The scientific explanation for sex was not discovered until recently but the biological differences have been obvious since the dawn of time. Gender is a social construct yes, but it's framed around real biological differences and ignoring that is.. idk. Confusing and kind of irresponsible? The social constructs we've formed are heavily influenced by the biological differences between the sexes and you can't just wave that away and expect people to understand what you're saying.

    Talking about gender being a social construct is honestly pretty mind bending, even if you are entering the conversation 100% open minded.

  • I'll bite. Biological sex is real. When people say gender is a social construct they're talking about everything that (traditionally) gets attached to being biologically female/male. Acceptable clothing, behaviour etc. Those are social constructs and if you disagree you likely haven't thought about it hard enough. Different cultures put different expectations on gender so good luck trying to find any gender expectations that apply to all of them.

    Framing gender as social construct is not the same as telling you masculinity or femininity don't exist, or that you shouldn't embody those traits if you want. It's simply pointing out that our ideas on gender are social fabrications that feel real because of how ingrained they are into our culture and upbringing.

    Being cis and embodying traditionally male/female traits is perfectly acceptable and nobody wants you to stop doing that. This conversation is about saying hey, not everyone feels comfortable with traditional gender constructs and that's ok too.

  • The NYTimes is once again trashing the most promising mobility innovation of the 21st century
  • Interestingly the COVID lockdowns might be what launched the 15min city conspiracy into the mainstream. Climate deniers saw articles about how the covid lockdowns reduced emissions and warped that into the theory that 15 min cities are a plot to restrict personal movement.

  • Yes actually, I think you literally die if you don't sleep long enough. After 72 hours or so you start hallucinating but who knows if those hallucinations affect productivity? Only one way to find out.

  • Does no-ads transfer?

    I paid for no-ads Reddit back in the day but when I tried to transfer purchases nothing happened. Is this intentional? $30 seems steep for no ads but I'm a cheap bastard.

    Sorry to ask a question that's probably been asked before, couldn't find an answer.
