I understand the difference between sex and gender.

What you’ll never get is that social constructs are biological. You do the bigoted disservice of reducing it to respecting pronouns. It’s very condescending and factually wrong.

If you want to start a fight where there is none have it with the several men and women inside your consciousness.

What a mundane simplistic and meaningless question.

She’s still a woman. Great point. Men and women don’t make babies. I already threw in the towel. Men are women. Tell me nobody is saying that you transphobe.

It’s transphobic of you to pretend to be their spokesperson.

Oh god don’t go Casper again. There is NOTHING that can be experienced that isn’t biological. Until you understand this consider the discussion closed.

Not that I'm siding with elph on the tranny route being the best way, but if you don't realize that a vast number of poor people indeed buy into the mantra of personal responsability etc that libertarians espouse then you just don't know that many poor people

I know it hurts to recognize but life doesn't map onto your ideology perfectly, and people especially are far from rational.

nobody actually cares about nitty gritty **** like that

what (I think) is happening in their head is something like

safety net = nurture = womanly = dumb or silly
yeah... You're completely out of touch too lol

What they're thinking about is "I don't wanna have to pay for the next guy." If you try explaining they benefit disproportionately based on income... They aren't quite smart enough to understand that math.

Plus like Steinbeck says... The reason socialism never took off in America is because poor people in America see themselves not as an oppressed proletariat but temporarily embarrassed millionaires

Maybe? I'm not sure what you're even referring to but what I said is generally true. Poor people who are economically conservative are basically put under the delusion it's their money they are being conservative with. They defintely aren't thinking funding welfare is a gender norm lol. If that were the case you would see some significant gender difference in the support of said policies within the party.

uh yeah... Those are the issues the Republicans rope them in on... We were talking about economics specifically and how they justify those values.

I'd call LARPy settler mentality "I don't need no help from the gubment cause I'm a ****in cowboy" to be more of an identity politics thing than a true economic position. And that's true for a lot of middle class conservatives as well even if they're not consciously thinking in such Americana terms.
