It makes me sad that, in this very thread, somebody has essentially made the claim that trans women aren't women.

Trans women are women just as much as cis women are, and it is generally none of your business whether a person you meet was born with a male body or a female body.

Also, it makes me sad that the men on the US Supreme Court are (at least temporarily) denying a trans boy the right to use the boy's bathroom at school.

I don't understand why we need gender-based bathrooms in the first place. What are we, animals? We can't be trusted to be in a room with a member of the opposite sex for fear of....what exactly? Robbery? Murder? Rape? Those things happen because of a criminal mind, not because of a bathroom.

Why do such a loud minority (read: ignorant bigots) think people can't just be civilized, go in, and take a squirt or drop a deuce in peace, regardless of their gender and/or orientation?

Biologically they aren't.

Brilliant post Chauncey.

Hello Mr e.

Sad music for sad thread

Thats been the case with that new OS since it came out that it will hijack your system and delete programs that MS sees as unfit and install programs they want. I switched to Linux after a week of using it.

Hiya Pimp Kitty.

Thank you, tinyE. I meant every word of it.

The realization that GOG could have a buttload of more games if they did more outreach, just from looking at the Linux DRM-Free games on Humble Bundle.

Of course, I'm one of those people who snubbed their nose at AAA games, while apparently everyone else was clamoring for them.

Define "biologically". Keep in mind that your definition has to account for all possible cases.

Chromosomes?

This thread.

Nope, that doesn't work. There are men with XX chromosomes and women with XY chromosomes. There are also people with other combinations of chromosomes like XXY, XYY, and even a single X chromosome. (Consider situations like complete androgen insensitivity syndrome in which a XY person's body fails to respond to testosterone, resulting in said person appearing and (usually) identifying as a woman.)
