Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet

This is wrong.

"Sex" is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

Do not do that.

A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn't stop being referred to as "female, late 40s" when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how "sex" gets used socially and epidemiologically.

It is not "pointless nitpicking". It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.

I argue 3 things:

  1. Irrespective the truth value of your claim you should not forward that position as there are forces of oppression who will latch onto any conceit of inherent differences between cis and trans people and claim that is the oh-so-important difference around which they claim the need to organize the oppression they are rabidly looking for excuses for
  2. Your claim is not true under the commonly understood nor scientific consensus of what "sex" is
  3. Even under your claim—which I consider simplistic and reductive—that sex is mere reproductive capability via sperm or eggs your assertion remains false

although it can be lost

No one "in casual conversation" considers someone "sexless" when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the "sex" of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can't imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.

Finally I'm not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they're never gonna let you into the car.

That was supposed to be a reply to this post but kbin is being a little funky fresh at present.

when isn't kbin being funky

As I said, though, this funk is fresh.

Still the best way to interact with activitypub.

When I was around 8, my dad made the comment that it would have been easier for a trans lesbian to find partners if they’d never transitioned.

Profferers of that view reveal they see women as fungible, else they'd comprehend lesbians want to date lesbians.

Federating with Threads only hurts Meta.
...
Defederating helps Meta.

What the fuck are you talking about, That is the opposite of true.

You are full of more shit than my colon. Stop arguing to federate with the Cyber Devil.

entering the Threadiverse

That's not a fucking thing. Threads doesn't own the Fediverse and they clearly are not welcome on it either.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

I dislike Facebook, so that's why I am here. But if the only way to stay in touch with people I know irl is on Threads, so be it.

Do you see how they are already using their size to control and negatively impact the fediverse? The very fact you are arguing that.

If you know them IRL, you can tell them IRL to get off of facebook.

If they won't well, either keep talking to them IRL or reexamine who your friends are.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

that's why you have to get as many people here before the last e phase ;)

You are arguing for drinking gasoline before the spark comes rather than setting out a sign banning flammable liquids.

You cannot out Meta Meta or use their desire to hurt you against them. You can only oppose them with hard walls and hard lines.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

If that's true, I hate it.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Facebook is not (yet?) negatively impacting the fediverse. Fediverse users are.

Meta negatively impacts everything by being Meta. You should not cover for nor defend them.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

You did not explain how federating with Meta hurts Meta. You could not have because it does not.

FfaerieOxide,

I apologize. I will be(e) nicer and kinder the next time someone spreads falsehoods about why giving genocide enablers a chance is good, actually.

I would hate to be responsible for negativity.
Mass death, after all, is no excuse for uncouth words.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

I'm against it sounding like "Threads" i.e. as though it's something Meta owns and controls. For all I know your use came first and the thing I hate is Meta appropriating it, though.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

I'm happy for you, or sorry that happened.

You are infinitely safer interacting with a Threads user here than by actually using Threads itself.

You should not be interacting with Threads. No one should be, and you should not legitimize it's use.

You will not convince people to leave threads by letting them stay on threads and still talk to you.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

This didn't work, sadly.

How much are those relationships worth then?

And it doesn't work because such platforms make you think that they are the default

You make Meta seem more like the default by allowing contact with you through it. Be something they can't access while associating with evil.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

I don't think letting people interact with you without leaving Meta hurts Meta, no.

Building something bad actors aren't allowed to access and telling people about it without letting Meta play middleman is how you get people off meta,not throwing open the doors to Evil.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Threads will essentially become a giant billboard for the Fediverse and receive nothing in return.

No it won't. You are either a fool or a liar.

Clearly Threads is seeking federation. Do you think Meta would seek out something bad for them?

"Give Meta what they want because they are foolish and don't realize their desires will hurt them" seems to be your (terrible) argument.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

people hate Facebook. Or Meta.

I agree; people rightly hate facebook and meta

I never said that people should use Threads to join the Fediverse. I said that people who already use Threads can be more easily convinced to join this place.

How will you convince them if they can get everything the fediverse offers without leaving Threads?

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

that's not how the perception of the masses works, though.

How can allowing access to everything on something people start out viewing as the defualt make it seem like less of the default?

Only by things existing outside of threads can people realize it it not.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

No they aren't.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

The Fediverse is the Fediverse by not being Meta. You are arguing for destroying the Fediverse for everyone by waving Meta in.

Why do you keep putting my and others' @ in your messages? If that's a your instance thing it's weird.

MAID can't be consensual under capitalism, but all beings which exist have an inherent right to end their own existence whenever they decide to.

This wouldn't be a discussion if a 27 year old shot themself, huffed an asphyxiant, or jumped off something high.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

What in the world has capitalism to do with this?

Nothing can be consensual under a system which privatizes the means of life and coerces behavior to attain access to natural resources everyone needs and no one made.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

I could forward you some reading if you'd like to be less ignorant, though I have my doubts you desire to be.

You almost sound like an AI bot, am I talking with an AI bot?

If you can't tell it sounds like I've passed the Turing, at least.

Compared to pre industrial humans, we live better than kings, and we work probably more like half less than they had to.

And yet with more than enough food to feed everyone and 30 times as many vacant homes per unhoused person, people still starve and die of exposure on the streets.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Why do you assume people arguing (correctly) against the evils of capitalism want to go back to say feudalism and not progress toward a just system that respects universal human dignity and does not require human suffering to grease the wheels of machinery which lines a tiny % of pockets?

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

“perfection is the enemy of progress”, right?

Isn't there a difference between people starving when there isn't enough food and having more than enough food you allow to rot so a small percentage of people can live as kings?

You get how that is different, right?

How many people dying while there are resources to prevent their dying is too many?
Are unhoused people an acceptable sacrifice to Mammon in your view?

FfaerieOxide,

Oohh, you read das Kapital

Where did I say I've read Das Kapital? Das Kapital isn't even the book I linked you.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Marx’s Das Kapital for beginners

Are you going to tell me "Beowulf For Dummies" is the same text as Bēowulf?

No. I sent you a commentary. I doubt you could handle Das Kapital.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

No, I think it’s weird you’re equating slavery with using software and machinery

Guy in the OP is the one who said they wished AI would be declared "person"s so they could adopt own them and profit off their labor while sipping drinks.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

I think they meant a “legal person,”

And I think the kind of asshole who makes a pronoun joke is pining to benefit from enslavement.

Regardless, they clearly desire to reap where others sowed which is dickish.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Again, we’re talking about using technology to make human lives better.

No, we are talking about a private individual owning persons and profiting off their labor.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

A “person” isn’t always a human. I care about humans, not whatever our current legal system calls a “person.”

Things are declared "persons" to confer them rights. Person in the OP wants a thing to be conferred rights but still own the profit gleaned from its labor (to the exclusion I should add of the rest of humanity).

Fuck the person in the screen cap.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Human rights don’t extend to machines.

Humans are machines. If ones made of metal become sentient why wouldn't they have rights?

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Called it. You’re a bot.

Do you always dehumanize those who disagree with you?

€6 says you've used the term "NPC" pejoratively.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

No, just when I find it humorous.

You find dehumanizing others humorous? You should work on being less terrible.

And I’d take that bet ;)

Prove you never have and I'd pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to. sarcastic smiley

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

Why is the entire burden of proof on me? Shouldn’t you have to prove I’ve never called a real person an “NPC?”

No, I shouldn't. I never claimed it was a particularly fair bet. Probably should check the terms before accepting.

FfaerieOxide,
@FfaerieOxide@kbin.social avatar

I refuse to respect corporations like I respect human beings, and I don’t think they deserve human rights or the influence they have over our government.

I don't think corporations are people either. You and I agree on that.

I do think I was correct in my read of the OP screenshot as indicating a desire to own and profit of the labor of a "person"—a position which should be examined and the underpinnings of which roundly rejected.

At a base level it's the same underpinning that inform people's desire to be landlords.

Perhaps, but they are cheeky and fun-loving.
