No big surprise if you've seen the NZ Labour Party's 'Rainbow policy'. It reads like it was written by a child using crayons in SamSmith-safe colours. Thoughts and prayers etc and hope like fuck there's an outcry given New Zealand once led the world on women's rights.
I became really concerned that I might be changing sex when started eating more biscuits, drinking more wine, and developed a love of carrot cake, and ham sandwiches. I even told my wife about this fear but she just said I was getting a bit fat and needed to cut down on these things. Phew, I am glad to say after listening to her advice, nobody needs to call me Shirley.
If some lifelong centrist could weigh in...I drifted center from left a few years ago. I always felt that it was the right wing that has some fantasy of itself as righteous among heathens, out to save the world. Now I see that disgusting behavior and fantasied self-assessment on both sides of the spectrum. Both wings of the political spectrum in the US (part of the problem is we only have two) have grossly invalid self-perceptions as white saviors out to save the world. It's invocative of rage to read someone refer to dimorphic sex as eurocentric...humans originated in Africa and our present brain mass has been stable for 200 k yrs...is it really the fault of all those bigoted babies who keep coming out of female vaginas on every continent on earth? On what do these people blame fgm, child rape, and child marriage of MENA females?
About ten years ago in nursing school I watched as my classmates cheated through every test and homework assignment, texting answers over smartphones and partitioning off homework in blocks of questions so everyone would put in minimal effort. I think that's the problem with the internet generations, the digital natives save the honest ones...everyone is just getting through, no one is learning critical thinking...they probably even use google to tell them what to think. It's so dangerous a situation where people with such strong opinions are so. d*mn. stupid.
Utterly horrific. This is true erasure of women. To add: a female friend of mine in NZ told me only yesterday how herself and a whole class of women at her gym have to put up with a trans identified male posing as a woman wearing the tiniest pants ever, stretching and bending in front of them on equipment in the class, while his junk spills out, while also being as vocally obnoxious as ever.. She also told me that many of the POC/Maori trans population have said that biological sex is a white man construct to control them and their two spirits since colonial times. : : eye roll central : :
Graham - I have spent 2 days discussing sex v gender with a male and a female who both labelled me TERF and transphobic because I’m gender critical. I tried to use rational argument but I was going further down a rabbit hole. It was exhausting. In the end one said - what would it take you to change your mind on gender identity ideology? My response? A frontal lobotomy.
On the bright side (just) it may make it very difficult to create an AI to replace us any time soon. How could an AI ever answer the question ‘are you binary or non-binary?’ with the answer non-binary, or ‘ it’s a gloomy Tuesday but you are wearing honey-love-pink Mac lipstick, what sex will you be on Saturday?’ Unless the tech geeks in SV have already hit on this problem so have updated the Turing test and are causing today’s chaos as a ploy to generate more data so they can continue in their quest to create a new life form.

What a shame. What has the world come to ? Is everyone living in a state of mass delusion? When it will be enough?
