This is science now?! Not the science I've read.

The only objective fact in determining a person's rightful
sex is the XY chromie that is in EVERY cell of your body.

Apparently there *is* a condition that gives incumbent males an
extra Y chromosone for XYY, Jacob's Syndrome. There is also a
situation where males can have XXY, Klinefelter syndrome. But
they are anything but normal.

I don't cware what people call themselves, or if they play
dressup with clothes or surgety to be a different sex, in
appearance; I'll call you he or she,. whatebver you
prefer, but I'm well-read in my native language & I refuse
to use a plural pronoun to refer to a singular human.

I'll simply avoid using pronouns & only use his/her/its name!

When in a modern group's meeting & asked my preferred
pronouns, I say, "just 'you'; I'd rather you talk TO me,
not ABOUT me!"

I agree. "You" and/or their name seems to be all that is
required.

This is from an article that I saw posted, today:

" Pennsylvania University Threatens to Punish Students for
Misusing Classmates' Pronouns

" Point Park Uni placed students on warning, saying in an email
that "action could be taken" if they don't respect their
classmates' preferred pronouns.

" An email from the university's Office of Equity and
Inclusion, first obtained by Campus Reform, informed students
of its anti-discrimination policies, including its
"Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming Policy."

" If an individual is impacted in a harmful way, action could
be taken if a complaint is filed," the email reads. It is
unclear what 'action' the school intends to take against those
who violate the policy.

Not he first uni to establish such a policy. . . the death begins with the schools. . . :(

I think even Harvard is in the game. . (!)

Well, I have no way pf knowing what your preferred pronoun is, so unless you have it on your fgorehead in permanentymarker, I'll call you as I sees you.
Oh, you told me (sorry, my hearing ain't so good, SIR! & my memory's even worse)

I believe in real science -- things are to be established by repea5table study or experiment.

The only consistent & objectively esablished fact i s the XY chromosome.

You can dress uyp with clothing butthat don't hide your primary sexual cgharaxteristic (innie or outie genitals) & you can use surgery to dress up your crotch, but your XY still tells the truth.

Children playing, because they're dissartisfied with their shitty lives.

& refuse to believe it all comes down to making wise personal choices & maybe a General Arts major isn't the way towards a better future. Maybe you got to take more difficult classes, & actially LEARN at school (BY GOD!! The horror! The inhumanity!!)

I got no sdchooling, but I know it, & I'm doing my best to make wise choices from where I'm at.

If I get dealt into a poker game late, it doesn't mean I have to lose.

Ditto if I get crappy cards. . . I'm in it to win it (life or poker)

they are anything but normal.

Right, what's the incidence rate? Enough to, apparently, flip all of socierty on its ear & intreoduce "assigned male at birth" & "assigned female at birth" asds the key options in sex/gender identification.

I was not assigned male at birth. I was born a male & here I am, still one!

Okay, God assigned me male, but are we going to take Him on?. Ive read what happens when we do -- not healthy!

AFB makes sense in a cae where they had one of the above rare syndromes, & the parents & doctor made a decision to do some surgery to make the genital records clearly one way or the other.

Anyway, why does the DMV need to know what genitalia I have?

& why the tax agents?

You want to know if I'm male or female, here *unzip* take a picture, it'll last longer!

& stop your bloody gossiping! Nobody needs to refer to me in the third person. . . If you do, use mt full name, to avoid errors. . .

Not that anyone usdes the third person pronouns correctly anyway (they refer to the most antecedent noun, not 3 nouns back, & not without a context to determne who "he" refers to, being as "he' might be callijng himself "she" or "they")

Ludicrous.

I refuse to play. I'm naturally a respectful/polite/kind person, but my menmory really does suck.

I generally use breasts &/or beards to choose a title (Mr. or Ms.); if Im 'wrong' pleae opi.tely 'correct' me & tell me the one I should've used & I'll apoligize & try to remnember.

&,, no, a sculpted 2mm deep 'pattern' on your chin is not a real beard -- it's cosmetic artwork. It could be drawn on herself by a breasted & vaginated woman, & then I'm really confused.

I don't cware what people call themselves, or if they play

You know, the gener-others aren't the ones whiing anbout pronouns, as they aren't going to be hearing "him" or "her" too often; it's whiny guilty bleeding hearts who stir it all up. Just like "Native Americans/Canadians"; thgey predfer the term Indian & laugh atr us quesing to get ever more convoluted in avoiding this. . .

Columbus didn't think he was in India -- As an explorer, he knew the diference & likely knew matterings of the language. Some of the crew would've been good interpreters. George Carlin posits that Chris, trying to speak pidgin Spanish to his new sponsors, was saying a people "in Dios" (a people in God -- meaning they were found to be living at one with nature)

I know a local hereabouts who describes himself as gender fluid. One day he's a he, another he's a she; different names in use each time -- I think this is a clever ruse by our universal medical system not to have to pay to treat his multiple personality disordy.

"Whatever you say you are is what you are."

Say WHAAAT?! Since when?! Okay, I are a 17yo girl & I wish to attend the all girls' high school near here! OOOOOH!Now the turkey turns?! BAH!

& when that gal in Frisco said she was black, they turned on her -- so it's quite relative -- the last I checked, science is based on reproducible FACTS. Not invented plumbs.

The n-word is basd,. but "the n-word" is okay?! When you say "the n-word" my brain translates it to the word, so what did you accomplish?

& stop calling me physically challenged -- Sir Edmund Hillary was physically challenged. I'm just crippled.

& if you're blind, you're not "sight impaired"; you're blind! My neighbour who has 5% vision in one eye & 0 in the other is visually impaired.

I just am tired of being forced to play a game I don't even like (but I'm still better at it than most!)

George,

need to use a CPAP when sleeping.

I have such sinus issues (have had them for 45 years), that I cough and
hack like a cat with a hairball every time after I eat, or lie down for
a nap or overnight sleep. They have tried numerous things to treat it, to
no avail. So, it's pointless for me to wear a mask.

Umm, yeah, great bedside manner, Doc!

Attorney: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have been on dead people??
Doctor: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. <G>

So, yes, I thank God regularly that I am here to continue my life's mission, whatever it is(or they are). . .

We're still here for a reason.

The masks always never fit right, so now I use the nose pillows type (two soft rings that fit just inside my nostrills & aim the air flow directly in)

Well, I got good news and bad news today.

I don't have glaucoma...the eye pressures were between 11 and 15, which
is normal, and the visual acuity was 20/15, which is excellent.

But, I need to have the right eye now done with Yag Laser Surgery. That
is normally done after cataract surgery...the left eye was done shortly
after the cataract surgery.

It's impossible to drive at night, and I'm getting fog with the
bright lights (headlights or brake lights), at night, and during
the day. So, with the $300 co-pay required for it, as well as for
the EGD and colonoscopy (which I'm overdue for), I've resolved that
it's medically necessary for me to sell my car next week.

I can get groceries and medications delivered...and I'll use Uber
only once every 2 weeks to go to the Post Office Box...and to what
few doctors appointments I have. For procedures where I have to be
sedated, that's harder...as they won't let you use any form of
public transportation...and all of my friends work during the day.

But, it will suck being home except for 2 days a month, and then,
only going to the Post Office Box to get mail.

Do you have a local volunteerism or seniors' organisation where you could request for a volunteer driver?

Yup; Luckily you have internet & ham to stay connected to the human race in a covid-safe way!

If I have to call or text, I pull off the road, and put the car in PARK. Then, I'm doing it safely, and the cops can't touch me.

Depends om how aggressive their latetst funds grabbing campaign is -- they mioght cite you for distracting other drivers.

I had originally considered a hands free option with the car, but now, I just decline the call if it comes in (especially if I don't recognize who
it is). For those I recognize, I will find a spot to pull off the road,
to finish the conversation, or I ask them if I can call them back in a
few minutes.

I don't get the hands-free is okay thing; you're still distracted! (not your eyes, maybe, but your attention is certainly not 100% on the road)

Do you have a local volunteerism or seniors' organisation where you could request for a volunteer driver?

Not to my knowledge.

Start one? You can even join nextdoor.com & put out a request. (No harm in asking)

At least without a car, there won't be any more payments for repairs, gasoline, flat tires, dead batteries, catalytic converter theft, insurance, etc.

There you go -- focus on the positives. . . :)
