  1. Which president openly admires Putin? https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-congratulates-vladimir-putin-on-great-hostage-swap/
  2. did IU not just say phenotype usually determines gender? Orlando is arguing a Y chromosome is definitive regardless of phenotype. Here's an absolute for You: life/death. Also taxes. In most things relativity rules because there is ambiguity in life. because the right says so and are all knowing...lol
  3. no, we can't for the reasons outlined above. yes/no, female or not. You just cannot think in terms of spectrum which is the way most of life happens.
  4. I gave ypu an answer. You want "yes/No like most MAGA's. That's not reality. I heavily relied on referrals for my practice to thrive. I retired early. You do the inference.
  5. so you accept that phenotypic females can have a Y chromosome? In answer to your question: it's complicated. There are guidelines that include parents opinion and largely, external genitalia. "Because they appear female on the outside, babies with Swyer syndrome are usually raised as girls and develop a female gender identity, which is a person's sense of their gender (girl, boy, a combination, or neither). "
  6. In humans, the major gene for the testis-determining factor resides on the short arm of the Y chromosome. Individuals who are born with the short arm but not the long arm of the Y chromosome are male, while individuals born with the long arm of the Y chromosome but not the short arm are female.In humans, the major gene for the testis-determining factor resides on the short arm of the Y chromosome.

MAGAs re mostly scientifically illiterate and ignorant. In science, things are complicated. They like simple.
  7. He's losing it. literally and figuraritely. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/03/trump-brian-kemp-georgia-00172564 “I’m sitting here scratching my head,” Bobby Saparow, a Republican operative and Brian Kemp’s former campaign manager, told POLITICO. “Attacking the popular governor of a pivotal swing state makes zero sense. If we want to actually unite, ask for the support of the guy who beat your endorsed primary opponent by 52 points and handily defeated Stacy Abrams.” Or, as Erik Erickson, the Georgia Republican and radio host, told POLITICO: “Over 30,000 people refused to vote for [Trump] in Georgia in 2020 and he lost by about 12,000 votes. All he’s doing is reminding everyone why they don’t like him. And he has no Georgia ground game and will have to rely on Kemp. It’s going to hurt him.” Many Republicans inside and outside of Georgia still nurse raw feelings about how Trump’s fixation on the 2020 election in the state contributed to a major setback for the party in the 2021 Senate runoffs.
  8. c'mon. Blackburn's trope was well worn by R's. Not just sports but restrooms etc. It's apparently an issue of vital importance to you all. Cool. So no ultrasound. The 4X100 mixed relay run was incredible. watch if haven't seen.
  9. So wait. Post hysterectomy pt have no uterus or ovaries but breasts and *****. Some females have the same characteristics from birth...
  10. It matters. Marsha Blackburn wants to ignore them or just pretend they don't exist https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2022/03/24/marsha-blackburn-asked-ketanji-jackson-define-woman-science/7152439001/
  11. U/S? Why? to look at the uterus/ovaries? So post hysterectomy patients aren't female? n XX with breast development but no ovarian or uterine development? Were you also given a medical designation of official arbiter of gender?
  12. Wrong. 1 in 2500 female births. I've seen several patients with this condition (and this is just one condition causing ambiguous gender) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6290843/
  13. Agreed. Generally. But the world is also full of unusuals. We can't just ignore that they exist.
  14. The most important part of this entire episode is that it highlights the fact that gender is not always clear. Can we stop now with "Can you define a woman" bs? The answer is "It's sometimes difficult".
  15. The Boxers are not trans. Which athletes competing are? Doesn't matter enough to me to look it up.
  16. I personally don't think trans women are women. But they do and I don't think I'm in a position to decide for them. Live and let live. They're not affecting my life. And I'm pretty sure there are some men that find them attractive. Fine with me.
  17. From the cited article: “Trans issues in particular challenge … biblical concepts of gender,” Sophie Bjork-James, a Vanderbilt University anthropologist who studies the religious right, previously told Vox. “Evangelicals tend to believe that men and women have very different qualities that are innate in us. I think there’s a huge interest in maintaining a gender binary because it really does provide a foundation for their theology and their everyday lives.” These folks only see in black and white. Gray is too difficult and challenges their core beliefs. They'd rather not consider other possibilities.
  18. It's the russians riling up the MAGAs again. They always swallow their bs https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-khelif-russia-boxing-b53b1edda21139d14a572bd35ca440e6
  19. that's because they don't. They tried to overturn a valid election and will try again...
  20. No one gaf about you giving af. The debate will happen or not. If it doesn't, it won't be Kamala refusing.
