  • Have you read the bible? God is an unhinged maniac. He told people to cut their dick skin off, threatened zombies, OK'd slavery, drowned everyone because they were partying too hard, set everyone on fire because they were partying too hard, told women to obey men, tortured his #1 fan for funzies, called Israel a whore who sold herself to big-dicked Egyptians, non-consentually impregnated some guy's wife, killed the kid, then brought the kid back to life, made a guy eat bread cooked over burning shit for I think a year? Told Adam and Eve to make incest babies and turned us all into incest babies, made an awesome fruit tree no one's allowed to touch, let the Jews make soulless clay monsters, gave his angels an extra set of wings just to cover their genitals, which I think means angels can fuck.

    So yeah. I'm down with bringing God IRL.

  • Fair enough and thank you for being civil. I responded to your claims by giving examples to back up my point, being specific because we're discussing definitions.

    I'm a cis woman and I didn't change anything. Gender has always been a shifting social construct and our understanding of sex has benefitted from research, as has my own understanding of sex over the years.

    Have a good one and I wish you luck. Please do check out pubmed (the earlier link I shared,) it has a lot of fantastic, accessible, peer reviewed research papers.

  • Something that happened to you but no one believes you?

    Jump

  • I can only argue with what you say. Since you used "man" and "male" interchangeably, my comment reflects that.

    This is called moving the goalposts, since your original comment in this thread was arguing with someone who said they'd changed genders. Now you seem to agree someone can change genders, so I donno why we're still arguing.

    You said men couldn't get pregnant, which is false. Then you said males couldn't get pregnant, which is also false. Now you're making this extremely specific claim:

    No person born a biological male with testies has ever been surgercally/chemically altered (meaning a womb transplant basically) enough to be able to be impregnated and give birth

    Which is a lot to unpack, and also incorrect. If we assume a "biological male with testes" is someone with XY chromosomes and gonads, yes, they have given birth. Look up XY Gonadal Dysgenesis, and you'll find a small percentage of cases where women who are genetically male, occassionally with internal testes, who undergo hormone treatments and IVF to get pregnant. Some don't have ovaries and have never menstruated.

    A person is always born with 1 sex more developed than the other, basically testies or ovaries...

    Is an ambiguous statement, and also not true. It really depends on how you define "developed" since sex traits aren't always obvious in babies and a number of natural factors can drastically change those traits during puberty, even before taking into account medical intervention. Check out Guevadoces for one example.

    Why is it so important for you to be right? Shouldn't it be kind of exciting that this sort of thing can happen?

  • Something that happened to you but no one believes you?

    Jump

  • I'm not offended. I'm disagreeing because your opinion is public.

    Unfortunately, you're still conflating sex with gender. Gender is performative while sex is biological, and neither are dichotomous or fixed. That's not my opinion, that is the modern, scientific understanding.

    You focused on one point in my reply and ignored the rest. You said men don't get pregnant, but"man" is a gender, not a sex. People taxonomically called men have gotten pregnant, so that's incorrect.

    The paper I linked was about genetic males getting pregnant, to prove that both men and genetic males can get pregnant. I have more peer reviewed research and on changing both sex and gender, if you're interested.

    Are you open reading more on the subject and amending your opinion, or are you more interested in being right and holding onto your views? If it's the latter, there isn't a point to this conversation. A conversation which started when you told a trans person they can't change gender.

  • People who understand medical science don't use the term "medical truth."

    People who understand medicine know the difference between sex and gender.

    You said way more than "no man had ever had a baby." Which is also not entirely true, trans men have gotten pregnant.

    If you're trying to say "no male human has ever gotten pregnant" well, that's a bit fuzzy, too, if you consider everyone with an XY chromosome "male."

  • Sora might have a 'pervert' problem on its hands

    Jump

  • This isn't a woman complaining about people getting creative with her face, it's a report on her experience with Sora.

    One of the key points stated at the beginning was:

    Although nudity or sexual content is banned, I discovered people making fetish content with my face.

    Which opens the question about what, exactly, someone is consenting to when they allow other people to use their face, and what's considered pornographic.

    She went on to say users were making underage fetish content and potentially pornographic material anyway. This is a problem with any AI generated content and why so many stable diffusion platforms have banned words and groups of terms, if they don't flat out ban all sexual terms. But, since the apps use real language, it's impossible to think of every possible route to an end. The terms of service and moderation try to plug the holes, but they can't be 100% effective.

  • You have $10,000 to make your town/city a better place to live. What do you do with the money?

  • I've run a lot of art workshops for mixed age groups and adults. No one is ever unhappy after making art together, it's a wholesome way to get out with friends or meet new people, or just learn a new skill.

    Paid workshops charge $20-100, which is an unnecessary expense for people these days.

    The initial investment in supplies can be as low as $5/person depending on the type of art, locations can be cheap to free (libraries, community centers, quiet nights at bars and restaurants,) and if you can't run the workshop yourself, many artists would be happy to do it for a small honorarium.

    For 10K, you could run dozens of free art workshops for a year or two.

  • Not mushrooms, again.

    Before my partner left for a work trip he showed me his stash of mushrooms in the freezer.

    I wasn't big into mushrooms since my first and only trip to that date, where I spent five hours wide awake in my room, believing my curtains, lamp and bedspread were going to dismember me and absorb my nutrients (my curtains were an amoeba.) But my boyfriend made a pretty good case for blending up a microdose fruit smoothie and chilling while he was away. He told me there were different kinds of shrooms, that I needed to measure the dose and just create a chill vibe.

    Day one, I didn't even think about the freezer stash. By day three I was so bored and alone I figured, what the hell?

    Anyway, he came home to an impressive blanket fort in the living room and a box of farraday mesh fabric I bought to stop the robots because I watched Ex Machina.
