I really think this is the exception rather than the rule. People who know what endocrine disruptors are, understand epigenetics, and understand how prenatal hormone environments can affect brain development probably almost all universally support trans people.

It’s like global warming: 99 percent of smart scientists agree it exists, and the remaining 1 percent have random reasons to think otherwise.

The thing is people who understand (on even a low level) epigenetics, prenatal hormones, endocrine disruptors, and how brain structural changes can impact senses of gender probably comprise less than 1 percent of 1 percent of the population. Most people are very dumb and on lemmy, the average IQ is probably 1 SD above normal, meaning the average lemmy user is easily in the top 20% of IQs. The average person is so unintelligent relative to a lemmy user it’s like comparing an atom to Jupiter. The Musks (autism) and Dawkins (old age and cognitive inflexibility) of the world are not typical of the intelligent people in society, they are just high profile outliers. Almost everyone intelligent supports trans people and those that don’t are cognitively defective. Vance at one point thought he was gay and dressed like a woman. Being a bisexual who chooses not to act on same-sex urges perhaps creates extreme cognitive dissonance or perhaps Vance is less hostile towards trans people and is poltiically savy. (I am not saying Vance has bisexual urges; I don’t know.) I just don’t think anyone with any intelligence can be hostile to trans people unless there is something impacting their brain in a negative way (extreme lack of empathy, religion, extreme cognitive inflexibility, extreme cognitive dissonance). Vance is also extremely intelligent despite his political affiliations.

Unfortunately, the bulk of society are really fucking dumb and can hate trans people and have “normal” dumb brains because they just lack the logic to understand science and phenotype variation and how altered structures lead to altered behavior.

I feel like I’d understand it a lot better if I were sucking your dick…

I hate Facebook and that they will ban people, without notice, unless they record a video selfie from multiple angles, and then still sometimes permanently ban people even then, without a way to pay to prove the person is real or talk to someone or even get a reason for the ban. I also think Facebook is an arm of the government and is not really a company (quasi-governmental) and is basically a corporate rebranding of LifeLog and Zuckerberg probably got a 1600 on his SATs and was recruited to join the government while in high school.

So that all being said, despite my hatred of Facebook, what he is saying isn’t that illogical.

Let’s say Zuckerberg personally supports trans rights and thinks Trump is an idiot. He can’t say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be “value-destroying.” Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don’t hate trans people because they understand science and how prenatal hormone conditions and epigenetic conditions means that sometimes internal senses of gender don’t match biological at birth sex. (Musk is the rare exception to this and it seems like his reaction comes from ego and anger about being estranged from his daughter and autism/lack of empathy, and so he’s a weird data point that doesn’t neatly fit if we take his reaction at face value.)

So let’s say Zuckerberg wants to say “We support trans and gay people, we have to do this so Trump doesn’t go after us to remain profitable and not end up needing to decrease our head count, I hate Trump.” If he said that, someone would immediately leak it, Trump would go Ape Shit, and the company would lose value.

It’s hard to know for certain if this is what he’s talking about, but if he is, this isn’t really something to fault him on.

Facebook labeling linux as somehow evil, on the other hand, is a bizarre and shitty thing to do, so fuck Facebook and fuck this asshole who is letting linux be labeled as a cybersecurity threat. I also think Facebook doing this is because government, which has backdoor is Microsoft and Apple, doesn’t like linux and sees it growing in popularity and so I believe the government requested Facebook do this. I can’t fathom a social media company would do this for no reason on their own, it makes no sense, but if Facebook is Lifelog and always has been Lifelog and Zuckerberg gets his orders from someone else, then it would make sense that they implement policies regarding labeling linux as bad to try to keep their backdoors in as many user’s OSes as possible.

i wish this had been deepseek’s response

i posted it because to me it felt like one of those “don’t worry, it’s okay to be gay, but sexuality is a spectrum so who knows, ask a trusted community member” that implies i am struggling with my sexual orientation while my mouth is full of my boyfriend’s dick, like it’s some huge quandary as to what my identity is.

Right, exactly, this post was about how deepseek can understand nuance: i am male, i suck my boyfriend’s dick, but it’s totally a no homo situation.

also in reality i don’t have a boyfriend :'-( no homo indeed

I haven’t. Please enlighten me. Has the underground been stolen by “bohemian” tech bros who want neo-feudalism?

I’m not cool enough to attend burning ban.

Part of my questioning my gut reaction was because of the ADL response. But the more I learn, the more clear it becomes it couldn’t be accidental.

Do conservatives listen to hard techno, progressive house, dubstep, or other electronica genres? Do they go to massives and drop e?

Does Lauren Boebert listen’s to Sophie’s Faceshopping while jogging on a treadmill?

Perhaps conservatives do consume lots of electronic music?

does this mean you finally admit i’m not a racist?

i’ll be sure to let all their psychiatrists know you believe this

it’s so good!

she’s so incredible!

but at least now baby jesus will stop shedding tears because transgenders and intersex people can now be labeled with their correct biblical gender

that will make the poor religious folks happy at least, right? they don’t need grocerries, baby jesus is happy the transgenders are suffering! delicious!

Really, it’s these establishment Democrats that have made it the party of slow reaction times, large government, and inefficiency. AOC should be elevated, and elevated, and elevated again. She’s an American hero and patriot and should have been given more responsibility long ago.

if you look at my post history, which is filled with unmitigated pro 2A pro-NRA posts, you’ll see I’m not a troll.

We would live in a much more polite society if everyone were armed.

The fact that 2A can be limited if a person gets diagnosed with depression makes it more likely people, especially men, avoid mental health treatment (and then eventually commit suicide).

Gender dyphoria is considered a mental illness and is already a potential large attack surface for conservatives to disarms trans people (to use a software metaphore).

The NRA is in favor of repealing needless pointless gun regulations which ahve horrible secondary effects and reduce the safety of all.

I also disagree that all LGBTQI+ people take out the garbage.

it’s a very fair point. i was ignorant and stupid. now what?

im sorry that happened to you. that mist have been awful and i believe you.

i am not always well liked on lemmy

i still like lemmy! :-)
