What's a woman?
  • Intersex people exist in the same capacity that people that have down syndrome exist.

    People don't go around going. Oh they're fine. They're just intersex. It's considered generally a birth defect that brings with it a lifetime of medical issues that otherwise would not exist.

    It's perfectly fine to accept them for who they are or even who they want to be, but has absolutely nothing to do with the idiotic question that anti-trans people pose such as "what is a woman".

    In the same sense that people don't say, what is a human being in reference to down syndrome.

    What bothers me is that even talking about this such as my original definition gets me downvoted because I don't immediately agree or accept the prepositions in this post.

    I have no obligation to blindly accept anything!

    And it's 1.7% of births in the world which is quite a high number considering.

  • What's a woman?
  • No, no they're not. Genders exist. They haven't disappeared. They also have meaning, words haven't lost meaning all of the sudden because of inclusivity.

    It's idiotic statements like this that continue to fuel Anti trans rhetoric because obviously you yourself can't even define what the word means.

  • What positive things do you expect from Trumps upcoming four years?
  • Nothing too drastic will occur. It never does. Tariffs will go up. Things will get more expensive. Rich people will be taxed less the middle class and poor people will be taxed more. There will be another wave of systemic racism perpetuating through American society.

    Marijuana will become less legal. For some reason the Republicans still have a thing for weed...

    The bottom line the man is 80 years old. It's very possible that he just may step down at some point, which would probably be worse in the long run.

    Israel will get significantly more support to wage genocide and Ukraine will get significantly less support to defend their own country. Trump will push for some sort of concession that Ukraine will give up some of their land and enter into some kind of agreement that they won't request entry into NATO for a long period of time.

    Longer prison sentences for relatively minor crimes...

    Hardened anti-abortion rhetoric will continue to work against women simply trying to make medical decisions instead of potentially getting abortions.

    Basically the same thing that's happening now in the country. Just more of it.

  • A 7 day workweek becomes the global standard. How do you cope?
  • There are currently no laws indicating how many work days should be in the 7 day week.

    There is no reason to implement such a thing either to take work days away or add them. Work days are dictated by the employer in accordance with how much work needs to be done.

    How much someone should work should be negotiated between employee and employer. I understand that this isn't really how it works in the real world but this is how it is on paper.

    I bring this up because there's no real way to institute a nationwide "7 day work week" making this question totally pointless and nonsensical.

  • Realistically... How fucked is the US?
  • Y'all realize there are three branches of US government right?

    Trump commands only one. And he isn't an actual monarch or dictator. He won't be allowed to over step too much.

    Either he's going to be rained in or section four of the 25th amendment will be instituted.

  • There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?
  • There wouldn't be a point aside from maybe philanthropy. That these powerful Rich individuals will continue in Mass more wealth above the $1 billion cap specifically so others can benefit from it. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything like that.
