Yes.

What you're ignoring is that sex is pretty arbitrary and people can express themselves however they wish. Him being male wouldn't make me treat him differently and I would understand if he wants to continue life presenting as female, but I would expect birth certificate corrections and official forms to be dealt with according to who he is.

Regarding gender dysphoria, I'm not comfortable encouraging a mental affliction, and them not being able to cope when people react based on what they percieve further solidifies that the person has a head issue, not a labelling problem.


Why bother having it on a birth certificate if it's so arbitrary?

Kyuubi4269 posted...
ideally what bits are male and which are female would be documented by their doctor.


That's not always possible. It's not necessarily "part A is XX and part B is XY", it could just be that some blood cells are XX and some blood cells are XY, in the same blood sample.

They might still present as fully male or fully female.

What sex do you assign to someone with XY chromosomes and a vagina?

Male with a birth defect.


Now imagine that they presented as female at birth (which is normal for androgen insensitivity syndrome), and so they don't bother doing any test to determine the chromosomal sex, and they grow up as female.

They have a blood test for something unrelated when they're 25, and it reveals they have XY chromosomes.

Do you suddenly consider them male now?

Magus 10 posted...
Or XXY chromosomes?

They are already defined as male with an extra X, remember that the difference is more subtle than the hyper-verbose description the short hand name is.


In your world, we define everything based on chromosomes, so I'm not sure why you automatically go to male with an extra X instead of female with a Y.

Now, what about a chimera that has some XX cells and some XY cells?

Once again that's not always clear cut.


When you are born, yes it is - sexuality doesn't emerge until later. You don't just look as a wangle and go - definitely a girl.


Alright, what sex do you assign to someone with a vaginal opening and a penis?

Those are incredibly rare anomalies that you can't really consider in statistical conversations. You wouldn't argue that you can't say a person is born with 10 fingers and toes because sometimes very rarely people are born with one extra or one less.
It's not viable statistically.


I said:

Once again that's not always clear cut.


Because it's not always clear cut, and there have certainly been cases where someone's sex was assigned at birth.

I'm not saying that it happens all the time, or even often.

For me, the credit limit on my cards doesn't affect my purchasing habits. I pay them all off every month anyway.

Mine doesnt at the limit I have. But with that amount, it might. Then again, with that amount, I feel like I would only have that if I made more money. Which in turn means that I probably could afford it...


I don't get anywhere near my credit limit with what I spend each month, but I also don't put anything on my card that I don't already have the cash to pay off immediately.

Again, it depends on exactly what you are talking about. So many arguments exist because people think they are talking about the same thing but actually are not.


Even biological sex has a number of confounding factors that make it not straightforward.

I bet you ask every person you meet what their pronouns are, just in case.


No, but if someone expresses a preference then I'll try to abide by that.

Got a job after graduating and moved a couple thousand miles from home, and things have been pretty good since; no scraping by.

one use for ref would be maybe if you had a counter that you wanted to pass between methods. then you can share the counter between a bunch of methods and increment it in any one of them. but then you can just put it in an object, too, which is better, so it's not super useful.


Yeah, I'm not sure I'd really want to pass around state like that specifically.

I suppose the Interlocked methods are one example where it's pretty necessary, but I don't think most people are going to need to be implementing that particular set of methods.

Sahuagin posted...
the standard example is something like:

if (!int.TryParse(someText, out var intValue))
...return;

// do something with intValue


Yeah, multiple returns is the scenario I was thinking about with tuples being another option, although I suppose in the case where you're checking an error return value then out params are probably a little easier to use.

I feel like half the time in C# I don't need to use ref as intended, since most objects just pass references anyway.


You should never use ref unless you have a very good reason why (which 90% of the time is PInvoke, and the other 10% can probably be done a better way with tuples or something; edit: actually that's more likely the solution for out params, but I can't think of anything else for the other 10%).

1) Her claims are evidence.
2) The fact that she has no reason to lie about her claims supports that evidence.
3) The fact that she has been consistent in her claims supports that evidence.
4) The fact that she told people her claims long before they became public supports that evidence.

Everything we've seen from Ford is consistent with what we would expect to see if her claims were true.

To claim that there is no evidence is just asinine.

And that's ignoring the perjury, partisanship, and behavior.

We ended up buying a house last year, so that was a pretty big thing for us (especially with how expensive the housing market is out here; I'll enjoy owing thousands of dollars a month for the next 15-30 years of my life).

If you read my example, it was intentionally vague. A camping trip 26 years ago where something sorta sexual might have happened that made her uncomfortable.


Is that example something specific that has come up in a recent allegation?

If not, then the implication is that it's a representative example of the kinds of situations that have been brought up in these allegations.

You can't just provide an example and say "see, this is bad" if that example has nothing to do with anything that's actually happening. It's disingenuous at best, if not intentionally manipulative.

Sometimes people just do things and accidentally cross lines or get misinterpreted or it's funny at first, consensual, and then maybe something changes that all of a sudden.


And then the correct course of action is to stop doing that thing. Consent isn't that difficult of a concept.

The #MeToo movement wants to convince everyone in the world that if a woman is so much as 'unsettled' by a man's behavior.....it's RAPE. That's not how reality works. Sorry.


Talk about putting words in someone's mouth...

It's gotten to the point where if a man whistles at an attractive woman on the street, that is somehow "toxic" and "damaging" and "emotionally scarring", etc.


Welp, I'd definitely call it toxic pretty much always, and could see it being damaging and emotionally scarring, depending on the circumstances.

To be honest, I'm not sure defending cat calling and wolf whistling is the right strategy here.

I was once pretty tipsy....and this girl kissed me. Was I raped?


Raped? I'm not sure of a definition of rape that would cover that specifically, but I'm also not an expert.

Now, were you assaulted? If you were unable to give consent? Yeah probably.

I've seen guys literally walk up to women at bars and tell them how bangable they look. Some women laugh. Some women love that kinda shit. That confidence. That don't-give-a-damn attitude. And some women go home and blog about how they were sexually assaulted.


Yeah, gonna say it's probably not the best idea to walk up to random people and call them bangable either.

Because:

1) The women are in a place where they're more capable of talking about the situation.
2) They do not want to see someone who is capable of something so heinous put in such a high position of power or prestige.
3) Seeing the real consequences coming about in other situations makes them feel like the likelihood of consequences in their situation seem more likely.
4) Any number of other reasons.

If you have some girls with red hair, and some girls with black hair, with a total of 30 girls, and you have 5 times as many girls with black hair as red. Then 2 of the red haired girls dye their hair light blue, how many red haired girls do you have left?


r + b = 30
5r = b

r + 5r = 30
6r = 30
r = 30/6
r = 5

b = 30 - r
b = 30 - 5
b = 25

So, before the hair dye, you have 5 with red hair and 25 with black hair.

How can I tell if a girl is interested in me. Like, I legit feel like I'm either completely oblivious or I'm making a big deal out of friendly gestures. Like, I send her these luvey dovey memes on instagram and she seems to like them and she also keeps saying how we should hang out some time But like I dunno.


Ask her out on date (ensuring your intentions are clear). If she says yes, she's probably interested.

No but not stating the job would make it look like you are lying. You could also argue the actual job part but that's not the argument anyway,.


I might actually be a software engineer but still make less than I'm claiming to make, or I might not be a software engineer, but make more than what I'm claiming.

Regardless, Kyuubi's argument is invalid.

My trade is paid more because it is more valuable, my views hold more weight as I am more productive for society.


Once again you're arguing that my salary makes me better than you, yet you refuse to respect your superiors.

You're not being very logically consistent.

At 10 or 11 I found out that it was possible to make video games for a living, and programming was a way to make video games. Eventually I ended up taking computer science/programming classes, and found out I was pretty decent at it. I went on to major in computer science and eventually realized that programming was interesting on its own, regardless of whether or not I used it to make games.

So now I'm a software engineer, working on things that aren't games, and I spend my days solving problems.

It's worked out pretty well.

Neither of the things I said conflict and are reflective of the real world, are you mad you don't have a leg to stand on when offended?


You said "salary means literally everything when it comes to credibility," then proceeded to come up with a bunch of reasons why Magus having a greater salary than you doesn't make him more credible. You'd have a much easier time of this if you just admitted that your initial premise was idiotic and apologized for saying such a silly thing.

Kyuubi4269 posted...
And why does that control my livelihood? Because the government (supported by the vast majority) stops me by force from making a living by forcing weaker people to submit.


Oh hey, there's that point again. Your individual physical power means nothing in the face of political, legal, and financial power. Sure, physical force is the fundamental basis for the application of those other forms of power, but that really doesn't matter much. You don't have to dig that deep when trying to leverage power over other people.

Also, don't kid yourself. The government isn't the one keeping you from making a living by subjugating anyone. You couldn't subjugate a hamster.


Actually Magus never said what he does so it could be a lie.


Because me saying what I do means I can't be lying about my salary?

Your opinion that Sunny is an idiot is not as valuable as my opinion that he's not, therefore he isn't, and the rest of your claim falls apart.

It's not an opinion, it's a regularly demonstrated fact.

Maybe if your opinion were just as valuable as mine then your claim might be valid, but according to you, it's not, so clearly you're wrong.

Yeah no, right and wrong isn't opinion based.

1. Dun curr, I live comfortably with a trade that isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel, I have enough to be proud of.


It's almost like the amount of money you make has no bearing on how valuable you are.

Sure it does, opinions just have other factors weighting them too. Sunny is of minimum value yet acts like his words have some inherent value, while you have lots of value but you support a jester so your opinions are worth as much.


Yet if my opinion is more valuable than yours, who are you to say that I'm wrong?

A person who can see Sunny is an idiot. Your opinion is as valuable as your lowest supporter, not your highest.
