  I hope the other people on the bus are informed. What? They work for a different company? In that case never mind.

  I really don’t get it. If it was in the freezer, why will it be damaged when put back again? Is it that once defreezed some reaction goes on and shouldn’t be stopped? I really don’t get it. Would it be better to keep it outside the freezer once it warm up?

  Did you mean Poe’s Law?

  I meant what I said and I said Poe’s Law. I don’t understand your question.

  And I didn’t mean that god selects. I meant that we only talk about those who crash. It was a thought experiment

  1. I don’t even believe OOP’s premise. There might be a majority with prayers at the end but I don’t think it’s every single one.
  2. I think they only care about the US. It’s not selection bias but ignorance about the rest of the world.

  That said, OOP’s argument wasn’t that their god is real but that deep down, everyone is religious. Still they made it into a truth claim about their religion. The commenter took the truth claim and ran with it.

  I thought about putting “/s” in my first comment but it didn’t feel quite right. It was more a thought experiment. Applying selection bias to the reply. It was only the second comment when I entered troll mode.

  Because of Poe’s Law. Sometimes I try to make my intentions obvious but sometimes I just don’t care

  Same for the other side. All the countless times where God miraculously saves the plane in the last moment lost to history. No news report, no one will check the black box. It’s just another Tuesday

  the scientific consensus here that sex is binary and entirely defined by gamete size.

  Just for the record: I didn’t say that. I still disagree with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So an evolutionary biologist should be trusted more on gender issues than a gender studies scholar? Sure? Are you camp “hard science are inherently better than soft science even if it’s about soft science”?

  I mean, sure, you can apply the evolutionary definition to humans. It’s not wrong, it’s just useless and irrelevant. But the article doesn’t stay there. It jumps to sports and prisons and what so ever. What on earth has any of this to do with gametes? I’m not saying it’s Wrong. I say it’s misleading and your article is a good example for that. Your favorite random evolutionary biologist starts with a clear cut definition and applies it to a messy context. Sure, gametes are a binary but sports is a non-sequitur from there.

  And I said that you can decide whether or not you’re stupid but “words have different meanings in different contexts” and the context in question isn’t evolutionary biology. If it’s about who can have kids with whom, sure, let the gamete definition shine. If it’s about social topics, let social scientists do their job and stop spreading misinformation about social topics and social implications. Do better.

  You could have engaged with my argument but instead you send an article that willfully ignores my argument as well and sprinkles in enough transphobic talking points to speak to the right while still presenting as rational and reasonable. Trans women in prisons commit far less assaults than prison warts but sure, they are the problem.

  Anyway, I stand corrected. It’s not only you but you and some random blogger who are stupid. Enjoy your fruit salad with tomatoes, avocados and pumpkin until you start to consider that not every definition is valid in every context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an “either I’m stupid or everybody else” moment and I let you decide on your own.

  Words don’t have inherent meaning but get meaning by the people who use it in the context they do. It’s an collective and context sensitive process. I remember how in one linguistics lecture (typology), we differentiated prepositions from postpositions whereas the syntax prof was like “I don’t care if the preposition is before or after”.

  Also: Judith Butler discusses your gamete definition as utterly irrelevant in this context in Who’s Afraid Of Gender so it’s not that they aren’t aware. That’s all the hint I give you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s what sex means in the context of sex vs gender. Are you new to the concept that words have different meanings in different contexts? This isn’t about evolutionary biology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sex encompasses everything about the body including external and internal organs, hormones, (facial) hair, voice (level), body height, … none of which are binary. Reducing it to gamete size makes it meaningless

  I live in Germany and we have Weihnachtsmann which is at this point just the German word for Santa Claus with all the Coke optics. We used to have Knecht Ruprecht as a companion who never had racial coding but he is but a faint memory. In the past there was Christkind in the Catholic south who funnily enough was invented by Luther but is ousted by now I think.
