The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

First, you ignored the substance of what I said and focused on the cheeky summary of the previous poster's position.

Sorry - it was the question you asked. So I answered it. I didn't pick up that you were being cheeky, rather than genuinely asking it - since that's the question that the thread was dealing with.

None of this changes the fact that POLITICALLY penis people with gender dysphoria are inserting themselves into the social, cultural, and political spaces of biological and culturally self identified women, and demanding the right to those spaces.

Perhaps. That's certainly a disputed contention. But as noted above, and as you can tell by the thread title ("Race Fluidity"), this thread has mostly been a conversation about whether there exists a racial analog to gender dysphoria - which is why my posts (and the responses to them) have focused on whether there exists an actual basis (scientific or otherwise) for gender dysphoria that is absent for the idea of "race dysphoria." We hadn't really been talking about the political question about once you've established that gender dysphoria is real in a way "race dysphoria" is not, how a society should respond to that. The conversation was a little more "upstream" from that, dealing with the threshold question of whether gender dysphoria actually exists in the first place. My discussions of the inter-relationship between internal sense of gender and morphology/chromosomal indicators of sex were in that context.
