I think I can see the point of confusion- the reason for illustrating physical sex as a spectrum is that it’s easier to lay out the concept of gender identity as an analogue.

It’s also possible that gender identity is structural but brains are complicated and linking mechanisms to behavior is hairy.

To me it seems like the important question is:

Why wouldn’t one do something that makes others feel valid/happy/comfortable for so little effort?

It’s easy to respect name and pronoun preferences and admit when mistakes are made. One needn’t to dive into the full nuance and complexity of trans experience to understand that.

It was intentional. WCK coordinated with the IDF on the route plan.

Kids are going to die because of this.

Got a refurbished steelcase for ~300 with no regrets.

Probably by design, to be honest. Jobs tend to be very anti-parent, especially in US states where FMLA is legally protected.

I’m fortunate to work for a company that has a culture of prioritizing real life so you can do your best work. Sadly, that’s antithetical to next quarter thinking, so it’s not the norm.

The dumb thing is (in my experience) parents seem to work harder and stay at companies for longer than childless folks. They’re just shorter on free time and need some basic flexibility to address emergent issues. Not to mention being better at teaching and managing in general.

Don’t get sequenced and encourage your relatives to avoid as well. It’s not worth risking your genome getting leaked.

You can set a prompt on Poe with GPT-4 that allows for lewd RP. Will still occasionally throw “I’m sorry, I can’t”s but you just gotta remind it to follow the prompt and stay in character after deleting the message.

I’m not posting the copy pasta for it. Easy enough to find.

Worth $20 dollars on a Privacy card to try out, IMHO.

I used to be a researcher in hypoxia and wanted to clarify this for folks.

The way your brain and body detect low oxygen is indirectly via the drop in pH, or increase in acidity, that high carbon dioxide causes. They call this hypercapnia. Without hypercapnia, there’s none of the pain or distress of asphyxiation because your body can’t actually detect oxygen or its displacement directly.

At 78%, nitrogen is the overwhelming majority of air you breathe.

After 1-2 breaths of 100% nitrogen, humans lose consciousness.

This is why working with inert gases is so dangerous - you’ll asphyxiate without even knowing you entered a room without enough oxygen to sustain life. Had to do a whole training to get our liquid nitrogen tank into a smaller animal isolation room for our study for this exact reason.

If I had to choose a way to die, I’d choose nitrogen displacement without question.

Ah yes, the classic “paying nothing to sustain and support a service, then declaring it hopeless because ‘the poors fucked it up’.”

Not sure things would look much different if Twitter was intentionally destroyed.

This really shouldn’t be grounds for termination. What people do off the clock is their business.

Windows 11 is adware and spyware wrapped in a thin OS veneer. I will never upgrade, end of support or no.

Love this energy and your username.

He’s also a class traitor. Should know better than fucking over workers from actual life experience in the working class. Still doesn’t give a shit.

This really is the trajectory for most unwanted children.

No heritable resources, a fuck ton of trauma, and unaffordable healthcare leads to lifelong difficulties finding and retaining work with no hope of mental health care to fix the central issue.

Can anyone with Nature access help with the full-text? It’s not on Sci-Hub yet.

It’s mostly just inane that people discriminate and judge others on the basis of pretty minor dimorphic differences. I.e “durrrrrrr no penis no math…” is a baseless, but disgustingly common sentiment that functions to oppress women.

I don’t necessarily take issue with cis, heterosexual folks wanting to simplify personal routines and finding a compatible partner, but can we get over misogyny and the investment in gender being at all meaningful please?

Oh I’m sure you would have warm, fuzzy feelings if your government decimated your city and you had no agency to leave. Lack of clean water, food, and medical aid amidst ongoing death and destruction would only endear them to you further, but of course!
