By the last part do you mean that you think I am saying I am not giving people permission to block or some such?

That outfit is amazing. However, why does it look like there's another sleeve? Lol
The problem is those people still exist in the real world and can still do material harm.
We need to do something about them, even if we can/do block them online, their harm won't stop there.
Noooo, don't do it Tony. Activision are awful!
Good for them.
Hope companies start learning they can't treat people like that and keep people in the field, instead they'll go out to one.
Ooo, very good way of putting it!
Yes, sex is a social construct in terms of that it's just a thing that is assigned and a label that has been assigned to people based on what it's assumed their bodily makeup.
Doctors and others don't exactly do karyotype or other genetic testing at birth, they look at the genitals and usually apply one of two boxes to you and unless you look into it that label follows you around the rest of your life. Often, if you don't fit into those boxes they try to make you.
It isn't helpful nor accurate, because bodies are not the same. This is what we mean when we say sex is a social construct, it's just a label, a shortcut through language meant to imply homogeneity forgoing accuracy and meaning, and it doesn't mean anything because it's not specific enough to.
Sex is a social construct in all the ways gender is, because as stated it's just a label that gets assigned to you. What with HRT, surgery etc most, if not all biological characteristics of a body can be changed and this makes the distinction useless. Especially because people are so hung up on what bodies look like and what their functions are supposed to be, yes this is partially to do with gender but it also speaks to 'sex' too.
Even scientists understand this now and though I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with this, they call sex a bimodal distribution, not a distinct binary any more.
But regardless of what it's called or how many 'sexes' are recognised, it's still a social construct because it's taking a bunch of characteristics and applying labels to it. That's it.
Yes, the tories are worse in a lot of ways. But I don't think labour are much better.
Glad to be an anarchist, and see how shitty they all are.
[Lighthearted] Ew, why would anyone, especially an LLM want to be human?
Ah, still trying to kill off the NHS I see, this has been their plan all along. Make it worse and worse so they can kill it off and sell healthcare to their friends so that the poorest die off.
Patriarchy, toxic masculinity, misogyny and ego, men don't want to be beat by women or other genders.
Betteridge's law of headlines.
So no.
