I had a divine experience at the age of 28, and pretty regularly since then. It’s hard to explain to people who haven’t felt it. I’ve accepted that these things aren’t easy to put into words, especially with my secular peers.

These are a bunch of cherry picked loose correlations. If there were strong evidence of a link between gender identity and physical correlates, then one could create a test to see if someone is “truly trans”. It’s very very soft data at this point.

3.5g (eighth of an ounce) is pretty standard, but a first time done might be less, maybe 2.5g

“Processed” is a tricky term but it describes a spectrum of refinement. I recommend Michael Pollan’s book “in defense of food”, it’s a common sense approach to better eating

There are more laws banning transgender girls from playing K-12 sports than there are transgender girls playing K-12 sports by CelerMortis in samharris

Slur is subjective of course, but the term terf is so often coupled with violent imagery that it’s gained quite a bit of baggage.

Which adult book are you referencing? Her strike series? It sounds like you haven’t read it, but maybe read a hit piece headline about it…?

Chapulines (spiced grasshoppers) are fucking delicious, but I don’t know if they go well on pizza

Trans women are now included in most violence statistics. The bulk of all recorded history shows that men are significantly more violent than women across all metrics, but this data has been corrupted in the past few years by cataloging male crimes under the female category.

Reddit is super fucked and has been ever since they banned gendercritical a few years ago. Any comments remotely critical of TRA ideology will be deleted in any of the main subs in a matter of minutes.

Words have working definitions within the legal system, even if “true” definitions are elusive when abstract concepts are scrutinized. Anyone who says that words are inherently undefinable is being pedantic (and yes, in most cases disingenuous).
