This from Ben Shapiro is not just wrong in a technical way. It is spectacularly wrong in a "did not even grasp the spirit of the argument" way.
Help me chisel away at the things I believe now that aren't true He/him. Both to normalize having pronouns in bio and because bigots get really triggered by it

If I was opining about, I don't know, evolution, and a bunch of actual working biologists - as well as people whom they seem to be cordial with - kept correcting my assertions, I would certainly pause and go do some actual research to see what fundamental things I wasn't understanding But not Rob!

That would hold more weight if I hadn't gone and checked and saw you responding to other threads since this was posted Why do you feel compelled to lie? Do you not stop to think that maybe that should tell you something about the viability of your claims?

Alvaro Ibañez (@alvaroim.bsky.social) reply parent
It boils down to people having so much of their self-worth tied to their opinions. Thus, they don't strive to BE correct, which necessarily requires acknowledging when we are wrong so that we may cease being wrong, and instead have to construct conspiracy theories as to why it's reality that's wrong

Not entirely true. Creature Commandos, which features two (2) softcore sex scenes, one (1) of them featuring a reanimated corpse (and the other featuring Rick Flagg Sr.), as well as some very graphic kills, is technically the first new DCU entry

Because "enhancing an image" is not a thing in the real world, only on TV That and looking at all the shit that got just mauled by the "enhancement" (just look a the flag in the hat)

The number of people engaging with this as if "enhanced the photo" was a real thing and not code for, "an LLM added some of its hallucinations to it" is just depressing

It's also a perfect illustration of why trying to impose neat exclusionary boundaries (like exclusively binary sex definitions for humans) is INCREDIBLY stupid and leads to nonsensical results
Alvaro Ibañez (@alvaroim.bsky.social) reply parent
If only this was relevant to the topic being discussed and could teach someone exactly why insisting on putting artificial binary definitions on things like sex is a very stupid idea that doesn't conform with reality...
Alvaro Ibañez (@alvaroim.bsky.social) reply parent
Here's the thing: The reason why you can classify mammals as a type of fish is that, when it comes to biology, using arbitrary binary definitions basically never confirms with reality. Which is why you either define fish in a way that exclude a lot of fish, or you define it in a way that includes us
Alvaro Ibañez (@alvaroim.bsky.social) reply parent
Not really The problem is that, LIKE MOST THINGS IN BIOLOGY, putting arbitrary binary definitions doesn't really fit well with reality. So yeah, depending on where you draw the line, either everything is a fish or many fish aren't fishes If oh the TERF could learn from this...
