    On a hilarious side note the orange idiot says he "probably"

    "Trump says he ‘probably wouldn’t have any interest’ in returning to ‘very boring’ Twitter if Musk allows him back on"

    "“We’re doing a big platform right now, so I probably wouldn’t have any interest,” the former president said, referring to his Truth Social

    Calling BS on them and their crazy ideas is violence in their stunted

    Some folks just live in a very black and white world. I have to
    laugh at myself. I had to go looking for some numbers. I recently read
    an estimate that 0.6% of the population identifies as "trans". That's
    around 1.4 million people. I've led an odd life and know a lot of odd
    people. That number sounds about right to me. And I got to wondering
    about the other part of this issue. The people who obviously weren't one
    or the other.

    https://isna.org/faq/what_is_intersex/

    "What is intersex?
    Intersex is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a
    person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem
    to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person
    might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with
    genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types—for example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking
    a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or
    with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia. Or
    a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of her cells
    have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY.

    Though we speak of intersex as an inborn condition, intersex anatomy
    doesn’t always show up at birth. Sometimes a person isn’t found to have intersex anatomy until she or he reaches the age of puberty, or finds
    himself an infertile adult, or dies of old age and is autopsied. Some
    people live and die with intersex anatomy without anyone (including
    themselves) ever knowing.

    Which variations of sexual anatomy count as intersex? In practice,
    different people have different answers to that question. That’s not surprising, because intersex isn’t a discreet or natural category.

    What does this mean? Intersex is a socially constructed category that
    reflects real biological variation. To better explain this, we can liken
    the sex spectrum to the color spectrum. There’s no question that in
    nature there are different wavelengths that translate into colors most
    of us see as red, blue, orange, yellow. But the decision to distinguish,
    say, between orange and red-orange is made only when we need it—like
    when we’re asking for a particular paint color. Sometimes social
    necessity leads us to make color distinctions that otherwise would seem incorrect or irrational, as, for instance, when we call certain people “black” or “white” when they’re not especially black or white as we would otherwise use the terms.

    In the same way, nature presents us with sex anatomy spectrums. Breasts, penises, clitorises, scrotums, labia, gonads—all of these vary in size
    and shape and morphology. So-called “sex” chromosomes can vary quite a
    bit, too. But in human cultures, sex categories get simplified into
    male, female, and sometimes intersex, in order to simplify social
    interactions, express what we know and feel, and maintain order."
    [snip]

    https://isna.org/faq/frequency/

    "How common is intersex?"

    Yadda, yadda, yadda, on and on. Bottom line:

    "Total number of people whose bodies differ from standard male or female
    one in 100 births

    Total number of people receiving surgery to “normalize” genital
    appearance one or two in 1,000 births"

    Keeping in mind that there's likely to be some overlap between the
    two groups that still means we have over 4 million of our fellow
    Americans whose lives monochromatic thinkers can't even begin to imagine.

    Don't be sorry. They are probably part of the woke crowd of PC
    scientists that tries to tell me that there is a climate crisis. "Sea
    Levels may rise as much as three feet by the year 2100!" That is not a
    crisis - a crisis would be that the three foot level rise would hit the
    world by the end of this year. Instead, even if one believes it might be
    true, we have 78 years to deal with it. In other words, it might be a
    problem - but it is not a crisis. The sky isn't falling, and I doubt
    that it is sagging more than we can deal with given that we have 78
    years.

    When a baby is born you look at its genitals. Most of the time it is
    easy to tell - boy - girl / male - female. Or, occasionally, intersex.

    The majority if intersex children if left alone until puberty will
    choose a sex/gender and may choose to have surgery to match up body and
    brain. Male/female - man/woman. Even though there are six chromosome variations they express as male - female - intersex. Man - Woman -
    Intersex. Otherwise it is gender dysphoria - a mental condition - no
    matter what the Liberals believe. However, you are free to believe
    whatever you wish. I'm just waiting for some fat ugly chick to express
    her gender as an old hen. Then I might give the gender BS another look.
    Until then, I'm not buying it. All I see is gender dysphoria running
    amuck among the woke left.

    Thanks, I did have a good day yesterday. Spring is here and I spent the afternoon spraying herbicides on the place. Roundup, Princep, 2,4-D, and Monosodium Methanearsonate (MSMA). Damn, I just listed them in reverse
    order of use - oh well. I want programmable nano-bots - it would save a
    lot of time cleaning the sprayer when I change chemicals. In a couple
    of weeks I'll touch up anything I missed, but I use a strong blue marker
    dye so there won't be much touch up.
