There have been many times where people have tried to raise their child as a different gender than the child was assigned at birth, and the child 99% of the time identifies with the gender assigned at birth, at the same rate as the general cisgender population.

How many is "many"? 100? 1,000? 10,000? Where is the study on this?

Maybe you should have thought of that before you became peasants.

CU vs FEC was specifically about campaign financing, but yeah basically ruled that organizations like corporations are protected by 1A, and money counts as free speech.

Which is obviously bullshit on every level, but just one way that a SCOTUS with a few corrupt individuals can destroy democracy for an entire country.

12 is also a pleasing number in how many ways it can be evenly divided into equal groups.

capitalist arguments that profit motive is necessary for innovation and technological advancement

I don't know who is arguing this because it's incredibly stupid. The greatest scientific minds of history, the mathematicians, the physicists, the inventors, were not capitalists, they're people with passion for their work.

If we move to a society that guarantees basic human needs and good education, we're only going to have more scientists and engineers that progress technology even faster.

Yeahhh, he's like "everything was taken out of context to smear me", he shows the context and it doesn't make him look any better.

It's a shame bc I really wanted to get into hyprland, but I won't get involved with a project that is okay harassing people for being trans.

You are correct on "idiot", you are wrong on "stupid".

retard is one such word going under a change.

The evidence in the meme that started this conversation is that it is not undergoing a change.

Idiot is not longer used to refer to actual mental disability, the r-slur is. Maybe eventually the r-slur meaning will change. I don't see any point in hypothesizing about the fuzzy future possibility of a words meaning, the only thing that matters is what the word means right now, in real life. Your position has no standing.

Stupid and idiot do not target disabilities.

"Retard" is a slur that is mean to dehumanize - the association that a developmental disability makes you less than full human.

Right, so when talk about "equality", literally not even able-bodied people are equal at jobs or outcomes. Some people can lift heavier weights, some people do better on IQ tests, some people run faster, some people sing better. When we talk about equality, it's never referring to ability to achieve something, because that equality does not exist.

When we speak of equality, we speak of the level of rights you deserve.

And not that it's any of your business, but I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 2002. I don't bring it up in internet conversations partially because the TikTok self diagnosis wave has made it meaningless.

You didn't answer my question.

What do you mean? Like do you deserve fewer rights?
