Look, if you take the total human population and look at how many are British evolutionary biologists, it’s an infinitesimal percentage, practically nothing. So we can discount the existence of Richard Dawkins.
Fucking finally.
So we can discount the existence of Richard Dawkins.
Way ahead of you there.
Unless you're talking about gas giants, then a bunch of that hydrogen can be metal too.
The queerest element: bismuth. It has a symbol of "Bi". It forms beautiful rainbow crystals. It's also known as a "post-transition" element. It's used in all sorts of important industrial processes. In particular it's gaining interest as a replacement for its neighbor lead in a lot of applications (like solder) as it has many similar properties, but has the bonus of being far less toxic.
cant wait for them to find the island of stability where once we start having 140+ genders maybe some of them start having socially prescribed roles again.
what i'm hearing is that there are greater genders that we have not yet had the bravery to discover
Developing a never before held gender for a split second before it decays instantly into a still extremely rare but slightly more stable gender
Who here volunteers to be the Victor Ninov of gender
This shit is gonna really pop off when we hit the island of stability
gender that lasts 0.00000000001 seconds instead of 0.00000000000000000000000001 seconds
Or when they finally split the gender atom. Radioactive gender everywhere.
It kinda boggles my mind that an evolutionary biologist and atheist has their knickers in a twist due to intersex, trans, and non-binary gender. Bro, if god isn't real, the world is a fucking chaotic mess that decides what does and doesn't work for weird and abstract reasons, and the social construction of God, and binaries are what stop us from advancing. Can you please move the fuck on from people's genitals? You sound like a fucking deacon at a church, you weirdo.
It's because he's still into patriarchy, and patriarchy requires clear delineation between men and women, without any room for any other concepts. Look up how Dawkins responded to Elevatorgate. The guy's a misogynist and that's probably the root element for most transphobia.
Dawkins is a racist too. Look into anything he says about Arabs.
I'm familiar with Elevatorgate, that shit is/was beyond stupid. Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris carried so much water for tolerance of the Iraq War on anti-religious grounds, which is ironic because so many people were grossed out by George W. Bush's declaring this a holy war against terrorism and using crusader language.
at least hitchens tried out waterboarding, dawkins hasn't contributed anything of value to society in 40 or 50 years and harris might never have.
Biological sex is a fucking mess and the roughly 2% estimate that chuds freak out about is itself a very conservative estimate. The load bearing cope that leads them to denying even this is the belief that conditions like Klinefelter syndrome or Turner syndrome shouldn't be counted as intersex conditions. Diagnosis rates are also incredibly low, largely because of bigotry.
The reality is that not only is the scope of which conditions are considered intersex far too restrictive (even where the 1.7-2% estimate is reached), but these conditions are massively underdiagnosed. A more realistic and all-encompassing view of intersex conditions with an accurate diagnosis count should result an incidence rate of around 5% of the global population, with rates somewhat higher in some communities.
People cannot handle this reality because it destroys their world view.
yeah but the part i've always stumbled on is... how? i grew up in europe for fuck's sake, what did i miss in brainwashing class that i was never able to see it as a pillar of my entire worldview. like, even if you dont give a fuck at all, all it comes down to is are we gonna make 2-5% of the population deeply unhappy or are we not going to do that? how does this become a core of your identity for fuck's sake....
Short answer: recognizing intersex validity challenges the status quo, therefore it must be opposed
"A third sex has struck the twin towers"
The problem your point here has is hydrogen can't be helium
That doesn't even have anything to do with the point, the point was that you can't just say something doesn't exist because you arbitrarily decided there's not enough of it. If there was one unicorn in the world, would you say unicorns don't exist?
By that logic, we should just eradicate the rich because they're statistically insignificant and don't really exist if you cut off your axis.
Always fun when an evolutionary biologist is like "No we actually can fit everything into neat human categories with no outliers or anything. Because statistics."
Elements kinda do look like pronouns 🤔
He
"Hydrogen can't be helium"
WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK HELIUM CAME FROM, THE DEPTHS OF MY ASSHOLE?
It's cool how checks notes Richard Dawkins singled out intersex as the only legitimate non binary/trans identity in order to minimize the existence of trans people just because it makes it look smaller on the graph.
Wow hes so fuckin objective, I'm sure because he's so rational there's no way there's an ulterior motive for making this point.
One of the first things you learn about chemistry is that elements are literally all the same shit that can completely change their element by exchanging ~~electrons~~. Edit: protons, fuck me.
Motherfucker how do you think rust is formed.
This implies that to be trans is to be a gender alchemist and that therefore trans people are golden.
Choke on that one, Cissies.
Elements change by proton count, iirc, and they're generally not very happy about it. Much less concerned about tossing their electrons around
Metals are just transhydrogen
Indeed, hydrogen can't be helium (except in the case of bigender comrades): that's why trans women are women, not men; and trans men are men, not women. Glad everything is understood.
Why have so many of these outspoken atheist figures started aligning themselves with some kind of de-facto chud shit?
They have mistaken "religious conservatives have bad arguments" for "I am very smart and good at logic" so now everything they don't intuitively understand must be wrong.
Because the New Atheist people were always reactionary.
Because the core of their beliefs was basically "fundamentalists are silly cringe dummies who think silly cringe things that are dumb, how cringe, and what's worse they're saying I can't have my funtime treats because of their silly cringe dumb-dumb stuff! Telling me no is a real mortal sin!" rather than any sort of actual principled opposition to the ontological evil of theocrats. When push came to shove they turned that same outrage at ever being limited in their desires towards women and minorities: they want to own and use women, they want to hurt and subjugate people they hate.
In short, a comfortable white cishet male atheist in the heart of empire has functionally the same material interests and worldview as a comfortable white cishet male evangelical: their ontological evil comes from their status and their desire to maintain and increase that status, instead of how firm a formal-logic framework they're building their worldview on. Both will eagerly lie and twist reality around themselves to justify their cruelty, greed, and lust.
represent their frequency by NY's twin towers
You mean the things that aren't standing anymore?
Someone did 9/11 on gender (please please let me be the first person in the thread to make this joke)
Hydrogen Atom: Fuck being Hydrogen, Gimme another proton
becomes Helium
Aaaahhhh yeah!
If you think about it the Earth is kinda trans because it has so much of the other elements
I am shocked, SHOCKED to learn that Richard Dawkins is a transphobe. Well, not that shocked.
Mfer doesn't know how helium is made lmfao
