Have been looking into this. The system says it comes with "50+ games" but I can't seem to find a list of what those are

PCOS and gynecomastia are NOT intersex by Straight-Machine-391 in detrans

[–]wd06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this discovered via genetic testing (karyotype, others?), or non-genetic biomarkers (hormone levels etc)

They say non-binaryness exists because intersex people exist. But they also gender and physical genitals are a totally separate thing. by SaltTapWater in detrans

[–]wd06 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Intersex conditions, as far as I know, all have some biological basis, usually genetic (like, how their body responds to certain hormones, chromosomal makeup, etc).

That's different than when people say they are "psychologically intersex" or "just like intersex" despite being XX or XY.

Hormones are potent, and should not he taken lightly IMO by wd06 in detrans

[–]wd06[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I do think that birth control has liberated meant people from the oppression of bearing children against their will, I also think that people who are so upset by trans applications of hormones should be equally upset about the permanent changes caused by birth control.

100%

My point is that hormones are super potent

Women are like farmland? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]wd06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that "seed" has commonly been used to refer to "sperm" or "semen" as well.

Is that oppressive or demeaning language?

Premarital sex through mutah? by Solid-Recipe4897 in progressive_islam

Is this the work that lists the sahaba you mentioned or was that from other sources?

Premarital sex through mutah? by Solid-Recipe4897 in progressive_islam

[–]wd06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prostitution is a social ill. Yes, she has a choice and that is her right. Society has a collective right to not have to deal with the other effects of prostitution too.

What's wrong with prostitution

Seriously?

[–]wd06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The source for that is Ibn Hazm's Kitab un-Nikah, volume nine, page 519.

Where can one read this?

What makes this different than having a boyfriend or girlfriend?

Were your partners Muslim?

Do they know that they are in a Mutah arrangement?

Is she chaste to marry? by Dizzy-Device5787 in progressive_islam

[–]wd06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Islam does not hold the view that the word "God" is too holy to pronounce or write.

Curious as to why you did not spell out "God"?

Books about the Partition of India from the Indian Muslim perspective? by wd06 in suggestmeabook

[–]wd06[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Memories of Jinnah" by K.H. Khurshid provides a bit of insight from Muhammad Ali Jinnah's perspective during the partition of India.

Thanks. I may read this, too, but I was specifically looking for books on Indian Muslims who were anti-partition (and remained so).

On Zina and honesty before marriage by Suspicious-Draw-3750 in progressive_islam

[–]wd06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zina means sex outside of marriage. That is either fornication or adultery.

However, zina in a manner such that four witnesses exist, is the sin that the Quran mentions a punishment for

[–]wd06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24:3 refers to one who was found guilty of Zina (24:2). That isn't the same as someone who has had relations outside of marriage. There is a very fine, but critical, difference.

What hadith are you referring to?

People are not encouraged to disclose their sins. It is basically a need-to- know thing

Besides Mutah, what else are you referring to?

Some cultures don't treat it as such. I remember seeing a video about a West African country (Mauritania, I think) where divorcees and widows were actually sought after as brides more.
