Transgenderism in the tech industry

[Disagreeable]

There are four especially large global problems of our time. In no particular order: (1) COVID (2) Bigotry (3) Climate Change (4) Tribalism (5) Stupidity (6) Prioritizing quantity of so-called friends over quality of true friend (problems 4, 5 and 6 are, of course, rather connected).

P.S. Religion, cults, pseudoscience and human irrationality in general are certainly parts of all of the above. I mean, even COVID could have been dealt with sooner, or even avoided, if it were not for human stupidity.

So how is this relevant to the thread? Transphobia is the worse form of bigotry of our time (except, maybe, for speciesism). There are so many people who think they're woke because they're not homophobic, racist or sexist but they're still transphobic TERFs who ought to either stop the abuse of transpeople or consent to legal euthanasia.

Then there are the cunts who don't think animals are people. But that's for another topic.

If you're not fully left-wing (and truly fully left-wing—most people who identify that way aren't that way at all) you're basically a fascist and unprogressive, AFAIC. It's all just a matter of degree.

I don't understand this at all. Animals are definitely not human.

I agree that they're not human. But not all people are humans.

Your philosophy is getting in the way.

Actual knowledge.

Actual knowledge.

Are you sure?

Absolutely, but I'm confident that you'll present a philosophical definition to support your position that people are not humans.

Of course some people are humans.

Lots of lifeforms have personalities and maybe someday non-human lifeforms will also become part of human society and effectively be honorary-humans.

And, yes, I can present a philosophical definition to support what I say. But a lot of non-philosophical definitions are incoherent (as are a lot of philosophical definitions. 99% of everything is crap, be it philosophy or non-philosophy).

But it doesn't make what I say any less true knowledge than what you say.

And this is why I don't like philosophy.
