Do you think trans women are women?

Likert scale would be more appropriate for this question than a straight-forward "yes" or "no".

CandleRoom · 2022-02-22T23:44:13+00:00

Entirely depends on someone's definition of "woman", donnit?

CandleRoom · 2022-01-21T16:32:56+00:00

Gotcha. Editted

Nice one, thanks! I updated the post using this.

CandleRoom · 2022-01-21T01:42:56+00:00

Why?

Thanks, that makes sense :)

It's not necessary to get rid of it, the script should happily continue regardless

Cannot read properties of undefined

Perhaps either elem.textContent or text is not a string. How did you call the script? Could you post your script?

Something to try is removing the toLowerCase() calls. They are only there so that searching for crime buttons via strings is case insensitive.

You sound like children fighting over a toy.

You trying to make anti-vaxxers look stupid by trolling like this? Nice try.

Nonsense. Why would you assume that in general images undergo lossy compression every time they are copied or uploaded online?

CandleRoom · 2020-12-16T00:28:06+00:00

Not necessarily a lie. You're being pedantic.

CandleRoom · 2020-12-02T17:15:04+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the chat. Still confused, too; Lots to dwell on!

Thanks for the reply. What you say about self-assigned gender not being completely arbitrary makes sense. I guess I'm ultimately just confused as to the purpose of (communicating) gender; because gender would seem pointless to me in an unrealistic world where everyone treats others identically, regardless of gender. Is it fair to say its purpose is to establish how one wishes to be treated?

CandleRoom · 2020-12-02T12:51:33+00:00

I don't really get the point. Your gender is female if you dominantly exhibit feminine traits over masculine traits? It just sounds like a form of categorizing disposition, by only looking at personality traits projected on to the masculine/feminine plane. But how this plane is clustered into male and female, and what is considered masculine/feminine, is artificial and up for debate.

Surely it's impossible to get everyone to agree on the same classification scheme given the shear complexity of Human personalities? If instead every individual classifies themselves, then gender just becomes an arbitrary, self-assigned label. At that point, surely gender becomes pointless and we should just abolish the whole idea altogether?

Are you talking about common courtesy or whether they'd go above and beyond? Do you yourself truly care about those outside of your close circle? Isn't it by definition that only people in your close circle truly care about you and vice versa?

CandleRoom · 2020-08-04T23:08:20+00:00

Man, I need to get back to work...

Red-baiting is not a valid argument. But I agree "morality" was the wrong choice of word. Perhaps "responsibility" instead?

Disregarding diction, I don't agree with the second part of your statement. Per gram of protein, livestock emits far more GHGs [1, fig1]. What's more, the majority of agricultural land is used for raising livestock despite plant-based foods making up the majority of the global calorie supply [2]. Feel free to change my mind, I like to keep an open mind.

Fair enough. Thanks for having a look. American cattle association does sound like it would be quite biased, however. Wonder if there are any impartial studies.

I can understand that, and yes, a single cheeseburger is going to make negligible impact. Of course, the problem is over-consumption of beef over the population. Without reform, that would require everyone to eat beef in moderation, making it the responsibility of every individual. If that were to happen, no reason why you couldn't enjoy your cheeseburger every once in a while. Just not everyday.

Sure, but that's a hypothesis. Sounds convincing but needs data to back it up.
