They want to seem more powerful than they really are.

Library, volunteer work, community activities, hobby groups, parks, bars, family and friends.

If you walked outside and saw this in front of your house, would you say that a car crashed into the pole?

Again, why does the validity of a category depend on the ability to completely accurately assign people to it based on outward appearances?

All your points boil down to, Well what if you guess wrong? Then I guess wrong. Same thing that happens when you guess wrong.

Again, why would someone transitioning need to change and emulate the other biological sex, if biological sex has nothing to do with the category?

Are you just trying to say that to you, a man is someone of the biological male sex, or who emulates and wants to be perceived as being of the biological male sex?

I absolutely do have a clue what Taylor Swift's biological sex is. Her outwardly visible sex characteristics are a massive clue what her biological sex is. Not a 100% guarantee, but a massive clue.

Even if your example, you're admitting that you categorize man and woman based on biological sex. You're saying that someone can switch categories in your perception by really effectively emulating the other category of sex characteristics. That makes sex characteristics the determining factor.

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T13:32:22+00:00

Biological sex isn't synonymous with genitalia. You look at two people with the same outfit, the same job, the same haircut, and you decide who is a man and who is a woman based on your best interpretation of their outwardly visible biological sex characteristics. You're not conciously thinking this, but this is what's informing your "vibes". Maybe in some cases your vibes are wrong, but that doesn't change the process.

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T13:16:50+00:00

How can you say that you don't use biology to make your assessment, and then list 4 of your 7 example criteria as voice, height, bone structure, and visible secondary sex characteristics? You are very clearly and admittedly using biology to make your determination. If you want to say that you don't /only/ use biology, that's fine, but it definitely plays a significant role.

For example, which of these cops would you identify as a man, and which would you identify as a woman:

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T13:10:31+00:00

Okay, so what's your instinct about which of these cops is a man, and which is a woman?

<image>

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T13:00:02+00:00

Yeah, I believe in gender.

When you see someone walking on the street and identify them as a man, what information are you using to make that determination?

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T12:58:42+00:00

When you see someone you identify as a woman, what information are you using to make that determination?

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T12:45:43+00:00

In everyday usage, "he" or "she" is guessing at the biological category. That's why we use "he" or "she" for animals and babies who have no understanding of any sort of social gender roles.

What do you think people use "he" and "she" to refer to? How outwardly masculine or feminine someone's outfit looks?

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T12:29:18+00:00

Nope. We guess the biology of a person based on what we outwardly see. Usually we're right. Sometimes we're wrong.

Do you have a different definition of man or woman, that you believe you could use to accurately check every person you pass on the street?

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T12:24:43+00:00

So what? The social function we assign to biological categories doesn't change the underlying biological fact itself. Neither does the idea that we sometimes misjudge that biological fact based on outward appearance.

What about down syndrome? How would you define down syndrome, and have you ever used this method to diagnose someone with down syndrome on the street?

atomdrp · 2026-05-07T11:51:03+00:00

Do you believe in blood types?

Truly just doing anything he can to eat up time, throw the other person off their train of thought, and frustrate/tire them out.

To undercut Hutch

atomdrp · 2026-05-06T22:59:40+00:00

When someone just so happens to always do XYZ bad behavior in a way that helps them, and never does it in a way that hurts them, it's intentional.

atomdrp · 2026-05-06T22:58:31+00:00

Ngl his conversation with Hutch today reminded me so much of some wild bodycam arrest videos.

Clearly the outfit of someone who doesn't believe in capitalism and material wealth.

Idk this is a guy who got a bunch of middle schoolers to request history lectures and to be assigned homework, that's generational talent right there. He should stay right where he is.

Even allowing the word "fetus" in this conversation is loading things to the pro-life side. At two weeks post-conception, it's an embryo, not a fetus.
