    So, in a nutshell, the assertion is that gender is entirely nurture and not nature.

    Yeah, sorry, that is an extraordinary assertion and I’m going to need extraordinary proof.

    Are there people for whom gender and sex don’t neatly match up, or even those for whom it is purely performative, sure.

    But they are statistical outliers, and not representative of the majority experience.

    People can be different then the statistical norm, and that’s ok, but to assert that this norm is entirely cultural is over the top self serving.




  • It’s almost like, in such a huge country, there exist people with different tastes.

    I, an American, went to India once. The hotel restaurant had a breakfast buffet. On one side was a glorious Indian spread. The other was some nauseating English breakfast spread, with like baked beans (that’s for summer BBQs not breakfast!).

    Anyway me and my buddy head straight to the good side, when the hotel staff woman came running over to warn us that it was too spicy. She gently walked us to the gross English food. We confirmed with her, numerous times, that the Indian food was very spicy. We then dug in on the eatible food (the Indian side) and made a friend with the hotel staff lady.

    It was somewhat spicy, but amazing.

    Some Americans think black pepper is too spicy, some eat ghost peppers as a light snack, I am in between.

    Look, the reality is that disease did kill the majority of natives.

    The genocide after that is not made any less horrible by that reality, but it was made POSSIBLE because of it.

    If European settlers had to deal with the full original population, things would have been VERY different.
