Sounds like he’s conflating sex with gender. Ignoramus.

Always remember, he believes that trans people can’t transition as they can’t change their biological sex.
But he calls an ai without biological sex and with a male coded name, the female version of that name. So trans people can’t change their gender because of biological sex buz he can change the gender of an ai.

Well he isn’t… he just kinda dismisses gender if i understood him right… like he listened and choose this.

True, though it ends up the same: sex is the only one of the two that’s acknowledged as existing, which is patently false.

Reminds me of Kyle Kinane’s joke about people who dangle truck nuts from a curvy pick up, then feel the need to assign a gender to their truck, typically referring to the truck as a “her” or “she,” but insist pronouns are too confusing.

Well yeah, of course, his friend Jerry Trivers told him that because their mutual friend Jeffrey Epstein paid him to.

It’s a bad opinion but expecting that AI and humans can have different properties isn’t the bad part

So he doesn’t believe in transgender, but he believes in transLIFE?

It means that he believes a sentient human can not transition by their own choice but he gets transition a sentient AI as he wishes.
And honestly, I think that highlights the issue if transition means he gets to have a woman submit to his every word, he supports it. So any transwoman who are into old white men and fulltime submission kink? There is an opportunity!

Only old white men can change your gender. It should be decided by The Counsel.

Unironically, a lot of states make you stand before a judge and prove you you have taken the “necessary” steps to change your gender markers. Without bottom surgery and psychologist notes, it can be next to, if not completely, impossible.

You have to drop trou in open court.
ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No but you do need surgeon notes certifying you have completed gender confirmation surgery.
