🏕️ Autumn @lucian How do I report content? Just saw the N word being used as a username. :/

🗜️ Mx Lol. Here comes the thought police. How can any normal 21st century person be okay with illegal words, animals, plants or people?

🌘 Alana because I'm transgender, and it honestly just fukin wears me down to see slurs thrown around casually. stopped using a forum I liked because one of the users had "tr*nny" in their name. it just sucks, you know? I'll go somewhere else, and then the racists and people who are okay with racists will stay. evaporative cooling, if you will. check out decriminalizenatur... btw.

🗜️ Mx First off, there is no such thing as "transgender". You can mutilate your body all you want and take all the pharmaceuticals you can, you still won't be able to change your gender. You're just going to look weird and condemn yourself to a lifetime of social agony. Secondly, nobody owes you comfort and happiness. If words offend you, then you're already vulnerable to all forms of communication and you should stay away from people in general - both online and offline alike.

🔻 Trinity ah, feck off. it's pretty standard scientific consensus that this stuff is valid: health.clevelandcl.... but, yes, the ability to endure slurs is a necessity in order to participate in intellectual conversation. to me it's odd though that something like the n-word is permitted on a seemingly professional site like this :shrug:

🌚 Nlggers I disagree with your views but I respect that they are what you believe to be true and the fact that you advocate for what you believe is likely rooted in good intentions. It's my view that gender does not exist and that biological sex is determined by chromosomes. I believe genital mutilation is an abhorrent treatment for the mentally ill and my hope is that this practice will be eliminated within my lifetime.

🔻 Trinity I too believe in the abolishment of gender but probably in a dramatically different way. If you think sex is determined by chromosomes, what about the (somewhat atypical) third sex chromosome in many? It's possible to be XY, XX, XXY, XYY, etc. Doesn't that go against the idea of any sort of binary in terms of sex?

🗜️ Mx Those chromosome abnormalities are exceptionally rare, and they're unfortunate but abnormalities nevertheless. Some people are born blind. Does that mean that eyesight is a spectrum and a choice, and one can alter it with their mind?

🌚 Nlggers That's interesting. I had not heard of this. You have have opened my mind to a new possibility in telling me this. I will spend some time reading and to the degree that I am able remain open to the possibility that I may not have the full picture.

☕ David Antoine You are right, these particular people exist but are an extremely low percentage of the chromosome distribution (mainly XX and XY for reproduction and gen diversity). And it's no joke, they have serious health problems associated with those syndromes ; you don't play dice with genes. Some are hereditary, others are mutation induced. The only ones who can live pretty normally are super-males (XYY). The others are less lucky. No misleading, just check it up.
