      A person whose physical, biological sex matches the gender they identify as. It’s the opposite of trans.

      It basically means your mind agrees with what your body looks like/ is in your birth certificate. Basically not transgender.

      And here, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the reason hate crime exists. “Is it something I don’t yet know or understand? Quickly, get me my head-burying sand bucket!”

          It might be, or it might be not. Unfortunately you won’t know before googling/asking/etc. But hiding from stuff you don’t understand yet isn’t that good of a strategy in general.

          It reads a lot like anti-intellectualism, and that never had a positive impact on societies.

              “I’m not anti-intellectual about every topic, only the ones I find iffy” is kinda exactly the point here. Everyone has first-priority topics of interest. The issue is being open to understanding other ones.

              Edit: the mods deleted this person’s comments, and I disagree with that decision. If someone with a similar worldview stumbles upon such discussions and finds some point in other comments compelling enough to change their mind, that’s a positive result in my book. And removing the other point of view from the comments doesn’t allow people to find associations. The comments should have stayed.

                  It literally took you like 20x longer to have this conversation than it would’ve taken to google the answer. If you worry about your time not being infinite you should manage it better.

                    My initial comment was a troll one. I got so much hate i the comments I need a week to digest it. Will think twice if I feel brave enough again to question social dogmas.

              Sorry for person killed by the psycho tho

              The psychos were driven by the same ignorance you’ve made central to your personality.
