If you ever get the chance, I recommend the book A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities: A Compendium of the Odd, the Bizarre, and the Unexpected by Jan Bondeson.

The book talks at length about medical conditions, including the human tail, the cleft pallet and also intersex. It talks about XY females, SRY transposition/deletions, the Guevedoche males from Dominican Republic who are indistinguishable from females until about the age of 12 when their testes drop, and the prevalence of more subtle forms of intersex that go under-diagnosed. It also touches in fetal development and general genetics including the inversion of sexual chromosomes in birds and reptiles.

It’s a great dive into the complexity of biology and particularly sexual development. I suspect you won’t be so sure of what you think is normal after exploring its barrage of edge cases that deeply contemplate the nature of genetic sex that creates these deviations: Nothing in biology is set and it’s all subject to change.

98.5% of those have a gender identity that conforms with their biological sex.

There are many more people today who have incorporated a hybrid gender precisely because they don’t fit into neat categories. People call them femboys and tomboys because everything about their gender expression is mixed. You can’t tell me with a straight face they’re just pretending. The whole category is called “gender non-conforming”.

Yup. A huge amount of people grow up to adulthood not knowing they’re intersex until they get tested. Talking percentages ain’t shit when your population is an entire dominant species!

That’s always what I figured, that they’d fumble if you turned the question around and asked them to define woman or man. Buncha chumps.

E: le spelling

Anyone who doesn’t understand this shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Idk about that, but the rest sounds highly probable.

I think it’s both. China does benefit from Americans’ attention and The Zuck & Co. are all jumping on the wagon to push out their competitor by raising their hypocritical fingers.

Everything. 'Murican exceptionalism, baby. Fuck yeah!

Let the record show that Facebook reluctantly cooperated with the government because they had to. Just like they reluctantly implemented better network security measures after shit happened because Zuck and Sandberg saw that as an inconvenience. They wanted to innovate their product and by that I mean make money, fucking greedy bastards.

The book An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination by Sheera Frenkel & Cecilia Kang has all the juicy details.

At least you could say they were held by the balls by Congress. The Zuck did testify multiple times before them regarding media manipulation. But that’s the very least. It didn’t work, though, because Americans were still swayed and not just by social media. Now, they want free range and they want to achieve that by jumping on Trump’s smol pp… again.

Very much this. I’ve had women friends who low key were dtf but I’m unfortunately a queer homosexual. One even asked me to be her sperm donor even though I don’t think I’m particularly good looking, wtf.

As someone who has spent a stupid amount of time browsing Tinder for shits & giggles, I’m not sure I wouldn’t want that. But then again I’m gay and things work way differently for us. If I swipe right, it’s very likely we match and then have a boring convo that goes nowhere. Maybe I suck at it but I never have any luck despite everything.

If they dressed it up as Clippy I wouldn’t be mad, tbh.

You can do that??

Glad I’m not the only one questioning the name! I have a pet theory that if they changed it it’d be more popular.

Can confirm. I didn’t think it’d be like that but it do be like that. DDG gang, where you at.

Android: Read You

Is it available from an app store? I only found the apk on GitHub but I’d rather not update manually.

Also, part of me thinks one of his aides overheard someone talking about banning TikTok for this reason and thought to himself, “Sounds good but it’s too leftist for us to peddle. This would be great to pin on the old geezer!.” and pitched it to Trump as a win-win. It’s absurd, don’t listen to me.

I agree with you.

And, well, I assume everything coming from the US is theater entertainment from the get-go. That’s why I don’t even bother discussing it anymore although I have recently pointed that out about Trump is trying to divert with the Greenland fiasco and the media is being complicit. This is just another one of the pile. I think he’s purposely flooding the media and pushing for Americans’ mental exhaustion.

ultimately some truth to the fact that companies run in China inherently have involvement of the Chinese government

I’d say that’s an understatement. The Chinese government is greatly involved in many aspects of their social media because they don’t have speech protections for individuals nor the press. Xi wants absolute control, so the Chinese government is also involved in other questionable news this week about sponsoring hackers who were primarily targeting the US for gathering intelligence: Millions of Americans caught up in Chinese hacking plot - US. They had state-sponsored malware on 10,000 computers targeting civil rights activists. It doesn’t seem in their interest to play fair, I wonder what their strategy would be if Trump steps in to stroke hes ego.

I was and I did. What of it, Markie you salty bitch.

It’s Asmongold. He’s a relatively popular gaming streamer who also does commentary but some of his political opinions have been a bit questionable.

Huh, on Jerboa I get Html tags where my escaped carets used to be. 😅

Oh, yep, I love Kung Pow! It was one of the more memorable ones growing up. It’s tupid fun watching it every time.
