    Those who are the most exposed to their past know the best about their future.

    As lovely as this is, isn't the analogy to gender mistaken? Sex profoundly influences gender

      I don't think so. Much gender thinking is I fluenced by stereotypes.

      As does ecological damage. Gender is a technology of the self, while sex is a mere classification

      Everything profoundly influences gender. Gender is not one transcendent entity, but an interbraiding of switchpoints of capacity, intimacy, embodiment, aesthetics and incapacity. It’s like, to compare to the Internet- gender is a server, not a program.

      It’s not really just sexism, I should say. It is mostly sexism. But also gender based.
      Do you see why these things are all fundamentally interconnected?

      It's a very productive anti white people gathering... the only group or people who owe reparations is the democrat party and the democrat party alone!! Your country is dying!! This is why you Americans are Jussie Smollet believers!! BAHAHAHAH HAHAHA BAHAHAHAH 😆 🤣 😂 😅 😄

    Interesting juxtaposition of Jenner as woman and Dolzeal as black and the propositions should either both be rejected, or accepted. I reject them both. I agree race is a nonsense concept while also accepting that humanity has different skin hues because of the evolved interplay between sunlight strength and the importance of melanin quantity in skin for folate production - important in sexual reproduction in terms of foetal viability. I also agree gender is a nonsense concept while also accepting humanity has evolved sexual selection behaviours to select members of the opposite sex, defined by the set of reproductive anatomy they each possess, for the purpose of sexual reproduction. So race isn’t real, but colour is so Dolzeal isn’t black. So gender isn’t real, but sex is so Jenner isn’t a woman.

      that's a scientific phenomenon

      Lots of women cannot and never could reproduce, however. So gender/"woman" is not reducible to sex/"female". Gender is a set of cultural assumptions that have been overlaid onto sex, which also isn't binary biologically. The question "Is Jenner a woman" can't be answered by reference to anatomical sex or reproductive capacity because these physical properties are not defining for the category of many cisgender women either - women with XY chromosomes with AIS for example, women who are infertile, women who are postmenopausal, etc. Women don't stop being women after their capacity for reproduction ends nor are people disqualified from being women if they don't happen to have the ability to have children.

      @@aaronnorton7131 Yes, gender is social constructed. But sex (as a biological concept) is binary (male and female gametes). It's the consensus biological model that explains your existence. Humans are also bi-pedal, have 2 eyes, 10 fingers and a 1000 other features that define us as a species. The fact that a small percentage of us are born divergent... let's say with more or less than 10 fingers, doesn't mean that we are a 0-20 fingered species, depending where we each land on the "finger spectrum".

    ..I'm sorry. Did you just hold up these guys standing in the wing there for 10 minutes droning on, and then sat down before them on the stage as well? What barbaric, culturless country is this from lol XD
