I’ll address every nonsense argument and lie used to defend the suicidal gender ideology Thats in vogue today:

3:45 - “So what if you don’t have gametes?”

It’s called a birth defect. You’re still male or female.

 ~5:00 *nonsense trying to say the sexes of seahorses could be swapped coz male carry the eggs*

male doesn’t produce eggs, he produces the sperm. He’s still the male. If I impregnated a chick then carried the amniotic sac in a backpack ‘til the baby was done I’ll still be male🤦‍♂️
5:10 - we could say there’s 4 sexes of fruit fly cause there’s 3 producers of different sized sperm

No. They’re still producing sperm. They’re males. This is idiotic. Is this whole video like this? (Probably. 99% likely. Abandon hope.)
~6:10 - hermaphroditism and sequential hermaphroditism exists therefore....

No. Some animals being hermaphrodites, which is meaningless w/o the existence of binary sex to contrast it to, still doesn’t make gender ideology or transgenderism valid.

Intersex ≠ transgenderism 🙄
6:20 - bilateral gynandromorphism is a disorder in some species (not in humans). Has nothing to do w/ “gender” or transgenderism.

Ova-testes in humans are also a disorder, usually found in those w/ the karyotype disorders that you ppl also try to appropriate (extra X’s/Y’s).
To drive the point home: These aren’t extra sexes, have nothing to do with the nonsense gender theory claims, and are not the causes for transgenderism (which are gender dysphoria or autogynephilia).

The rest of the vid, I guarantee, will go on trying to conflate these things.
6:30 to 10:39 - I’m gonna ignore this whole section because I already addressed it above.

Birth defects, which leave you infertile and often require the removal of cancer-prone defective gonads, are not a new sex and have nothing to do with gender theory or transgenderism.
10:30 - hormone wankery that doesn’t support anything about gender theory

Having a birth defect that causes your body to not react to testosterone so ur male genitals don’t develop & u look like a prepubescent girl for the rest of your life is not a new sex nor transgenderism.
~13:00 - he goes on for a while basically circling aground the fact that we’re built from the same materials and if something goes wrong you won’t develop correctly.

…Duh! Yet none of this has anything to do w/ mental disorders making you want to be a different sex or no sex.
16:10 - birds have completely different sex chromosomes than we do. Also some animals don’t have sex chromosomes at all. Also plants exist.

Yes, very informative Mr. Biology Man. Will you ever get to the part where biology justifies any of the claims made by gender ideology?
This is supposed to be 15:00-something. The time flipped to time left instead of current time for some reason.
15:10 - he claims these things he’s gone over aren’t birth defects but “variations”.

Birth defects are definitely variations, moron. If you “biological variation” literally makes it so that you cannot pass on your genes via reproduction, it’s a dysfunction. Sorry.
“It seems your child was born with a fluid sac where their brain should’ve been and they’re going to die in a few hours. Don’t worry though! It’s a variation, not a defect!”

*phew*! Thank G—wait!
15:50 - Unless you’ve had your entire body dissected and DNA sequenced we literally have no idea what you are!!!!!

Actually, if you’ve gone through puberty the same as 99.9% of the population and are fertile I think you can safely call yourself male or female.
16:00 - chromosome “variations” alone could make a convincingly male-passing female or female-passing man

Bullshit. Extra Y & extra X types, though very rare, have been seen enough for categorization, & they never look quite right.
Extra Y/X people are always over or underdeveloped in some way that stands out, on top of being infertile

Not in a “that boy is funny looking” kinda way, but in a “is that a boy or a girl? Literally no one can determine, even their genitals are off” kinda way.

More Bullshit!
Now comes the big switcharoo where, if he’s been successful at making you believe sex is just impossible to determine and you should leave it to “expert” bullshitters like himself, he’ll then tack on gender ideology claptrap that is completely disconnected from the first half.
Around 18mins or whatever - It’s just a deluge of moronic conflation.

“Hey, a female mechanic! That’s a gender! A male in a dress? A new gender!”

Worse is using animals with reproductive biology so far removed from us in every way to try to justify simple mental illness.
20:02 - to do proper “Da Science” you have to #ListenAndBelieve to the “gender feelings” of the 0.3% of the population that is so functional & have such reliable grasps on reality that they just fucking off themselves half of the time even when things go their way!

…Yea. No.
20:30 - bits about brain differences in normal people and the gender dysphoric

Hormones in the womb are a hell of a drug, but when gender confusion in children is cured at a rate of 80% when puberty is allowed to happen, it doesn’t support your theories.
In fact there’s been research finding that puberty blockers (obviously, no shit) irreversibly hinder bone development & lower IQ. Also increasing suicide

Aren’t the gender dysphoric suicidal enough already w/ the promotion of enabling the sickness instead of finding solutions?
24:00 - “a variety of chromosomal defects combined with brain regions differentials sized by hormones in the womb means there’s at least 16 different genders!!!”

Again. Nonsense. This is equivalent to arguing about the number of angels that could fit on the point of a pin.
24:55 - it’s SOOOO much easier to just say that gender exists on a spectrum!

Yes. Lying is easy. The truth is tough, can be ugly. But this why you gender ideologues will always fail. You will never convince many that your worldview is the truth when it’s obvious you HATE truth.
25:28 - but to say “you’re XY, you’re a boy, and boys must act like this!” is inaccurate & dangerous

...uhhh, actually, we’re not the ones throwing dresses & makeup on boys just because they’re sissies & don’t act typical. That’s YOU. It’s the basis of your entire argument!
26:00 - suicide and how it’s totally “cishet” society’s fault

...unless...It’s caused by the mix of mental and developmental disorders found in the gender dysphoric? Hm, yes? Maybe? Possibly?🤔 https://t.co/VryEL7gSFL
You can’t blame the extremely high rate of suicide in the transgendered on oppression or whatever when even slaves or Jews in concentration camps did not suicide at such a high rate, & when many trans suicides happen after they’ve fully, completely transitioned

It doesn’t work
“Hmmmmm...is it all from oppression we simply can’t see, it could it be all of the mental illness?🤔🤔🤔”

Mr. Scientist can’t figure this one out but he expects you to trust in the rest of the bullshit he’s spouting.

Get the fuck out!
As for gay & gender dysphoric kids being kicked out from home…how much of that is from their destructive behavior? Has any research been done on that? How much of it is from the prostitution? (Which I guarantee is at the heart of the housing discrimination complaints by transes)
26:40 - Ppl say high suicide rate is coz mental illness but it’s because they’re treated like perverts for trying to exist!

What if their way of existing *is* by being perverted? Do homosexuals have high rates of HIV due to non-acceptance, or is it the 100 yearly sex partners?🤔

We should stop confusing what someone was doing when we became aware of them with all they are capable of, interested in, or ever hope to be

Let folks have their many talents, interests and gifts. Life is far more fun with variety, loves.

A lot of folks have come to know me as an activist & I’m grateful that folks care to know me at all.

But I wasn’t born in 2014. I was a whole teacher, executive, policy person, speaker, arts and culture lover, reader, writer, woman of faith, fashion and more before 4 yrs ago 🤷🏾‍♀️

We rightfully complain that marginalized people are not allowed to be fully human.

But we internalize and transfer our oppression daily. It’s a smog. We all breathe it in & act it out.

And then tell WoC “girl ain’t you supposed to be a _______? Why you doing ____?”

Can I live?

And don’t go reading anything personal into this-this isn’t about me necessarily and it’s no subtweet (I try hard not to do that.)

I’ve just been observing that behavior more and more lately. Especially when it comes to marginalized folks.

Evolution should be our aspiration.

“Can’t knock the hustle” should be our anthem.

As long as someone isn’t bringing active and continual harm, why can’t they explore their many sides?

1/ Something strange is happening with people’s sex lives. 20-somethings are having sex later and less frequently than previous generations. I spent several months digging into this for @theatlantic. https://t.co/5ehzmWY9wi


2/ This phenomenon—I’m calling it a Sex Recession—really surprised me. It seemed improbable in the age of Tinder, digital porn, and attitudes that are generally permissive and sex-positive.

3/ What’s happening isn’t exclusively American: Similar trends are being observed in other countries, including Japan, Australia, the U.K., Finland, and the Netherlands.


4/ One cause is obvious: Adults under 35 are less likely to be living with a partner than in recent decades, and more likely to be living with their parents—which, it’s safe to say, isn’t great for one’s sex life.

5/ But I also found other explanations, each with profound implications. The first, unsurprisingly, has to do with internet enticements. Netflix and other online entertainment may be substituting for sex.

In the 90s I was a host on a talk radio station in LA, the same that aired Rush. I was president of LA NOW, & the liberal wkend host when he visited the station. He was so vilified by my then-crowd, I expected a monster. Instead, I met a remarkable, kind and encouraging man... 1/

He was gregarious & generous when we met. He shook my hand & I was shocked that he was nice & genuinely curious about my radio work and activism. I realized I was going to have a fascinating conversation 2/

There were many events during this time as a radio talk show host that changed me. It was my first job in the medium starting in 1993. My meeting Rush & our conversations made me realize the left had been lying to me about many things... 3/

Rush was not a monster, he wasn’t evil, he did not mean people harm, he wasn’t a bigot, or any of the other smears lobbed against him by my leftist associates. I liked him very much, and while we disagreed on many things (then) he was nothing has he had been painted 4/

In my conversations with him, we talked about the issues and despite the disagreements, he also took time to give me advice about hosting, style, connecting w the audience, etc. He encouraged me and gave me advice that made a huge difference in my career… 5/

We live in a society that misunderstands boundaries and consent. Most people think the former is about just saying no, and the latter is about sex. And while that’s a part of it, they are about agency, autonomy, respect and interpersonal relationships.

1/

Unsolicited advice without consent is crossing a person’s boundaries. Even if the advice is good advice, even if the person giving the advice is a pastor or a parent, even if the advice is important. Most people aren’t talking about their life so that we may solve it.

2/

It is an honor to be trusted with someone’s life story*, with their thoughts and their challenges, with their struggles and their musings. But it is not an open invitation to try and solve their problems, control their behavior, tell them what to do.

3/

For a group of people that speak often of free will and claim to follow Jesus, Christians are some of the worst at boundaries and consent in general, and advice giving in particular. Think about how many sermons are not sharing spiritual truths, but just giving advice.

4/

Think about how much pastoral counseling is just advice giving. Think about the many books that tell you how to parent, how to be a good wife, how to be a good Christian, how to... and how much of it is general advice as though our lives were interchangeable?

5/

HELLO: If you pee and every time you finish, your urine looks like this picture, you may have a serious medical illness.

Foamy urine especially if it is persistent and noticeable over time may mean you have a serious kidney problem.

Let’s talk about this today...
RT for others.


What are the features of a normal urine?

A normal urine should have a light yellow colour, painless, odourless (or faint smell), steady stream and should ideally not foam when you pee.

When there’s something wrong, then you see changes in all the above normal features of urine.

For instance if urine becomes very deep yellow, it may mean you are dehydrated;

If urine becomes painful or smells really really bad, it may mean you have an infection;

If urine has a poor stream, especially in a man, it may mean a prostate problem like cancer.

Do you get me?

So today let’s talk about Foamy Urine.

What are the things that can cause urine to suddenly be foamy. As I said in the first tweet, it MAY mean a serious medical illness like a serious kidney problem.

First things first- it does NOT always mean a problem but it may as well.

Now what are the causes of Foamy Urine:

1. SPEED-
If you pee really fast or with a lot of force, it may make your urine more foamy than usual. The speed and force makes the urine generate a lot of bubbles which tend to almost quickly disappear as it is formed in the toilet bowl.

Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework

Thanks for joining me @pluralsight to talk about javascript frameworks. We had 150+ awesome questions, so I'll try to answer the ones I couldn't get to online right here in a tweet stream

Watch the video -->
https://t.co/G7zeiKhXme


Q. Do arrow functions really make dealing with JavaScript's "this" keywords easier?

A. Yes! When using arrow functions, the scope of "this" is effectively passed in from the outer scope. See here in this REPL

1/n


Q. Where does Polymer fit in? Is it considered a framework like the others?

A. @Polymer is an excellent way to create web components, which are ideal for creating sets of interactivity that can be shared in web apps.

2/n

Q. Have we gone framework crazy?

A. At one time, quite possibly. A few years back we literally had framework overload. I feel it really has solidified into a few very strong choices.

3/n

Q. [Is] there no more need for @polymer?

A. See my previous question on this ... but in general, I think there is a lot of room for Web Components with frameworks.

🕵️‍♂️ How Google's PageRank algorithm works

The PageRank algorithm gives each page a rating of its
importance, which is a recursively defined measure of importance, based on if important pages link to it.
It's recursive because the importance of a page refers back to the importance of other pages that link to it

Here's how it works in practice:
1⃣ We start with some pages and crawl them for links


2⃣ Each page has 1/N points (where N as the total number of pages)


3⃣ Add points to each page for the amount of links to it, divided by the number
of links emanating from the sources of these links

You want to know something about how bullshit insane our brains are?
OK, so there's a physical problem with our eyes: We move them in short fast bursts called "saccades", right? very quick, synchronized movements.
The only problem is: they go all blurry and useless during this

having your vision turn into a blurry mess every time you move your eyes is obviously not a good idea, so our brains hide it from us. Now, imagine you're an engineer and you have this problem.

You've got some obvious solutions you could do.
1. make the vision go black during movement. (Some VR games do this!)
2. just keep showing the last thing we saw prior to movement

both are good options with different downsides, but OH NO. this is assuming everything makes sense and is chronological and (regular) logical.
Your brain does neither of these options, really.

first, it basically puts your visual system on "pause". You're not seeing blackness or even nothing, you're just not seeing period.
then when you finish your saccade, it shows you what you now see at the new position. and then it pretends it can time travel.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI BEEJ / BIJA MANTRA.

Once Suutji in his discourse with King Janmajeya repeated the words of Vyasji regarding the pronounciation of the word ऐ. Vyasji had heard the importance of this word in a meeting of all important saints at Naimisharanya.


There this story was discussed.

In that gathering of such great sages, Rishi Jamdagni asked a question to all the eminent luminaries. He wanted to know which diety is the most revered and gets satisfied easily with our prayers. So Lomash rishi replied that Devi

Bhagwati was one such diety. She will be satisfied and is ready to grant you a boon even if you just say the first letter of her beej mantra. In this context he narrated the story of Satyavrat. The story is as follows.

There lived a Brahmin named Devdutt in Kosal.

He was childless. He arranged for an elaborate yagya for a intelligent son to be born. He invited all the eminent rishi's to conduct this Yagya. Rishi Suhotra, Pael, Brahaspati Yagyavalka were assigned different tasks. Rishi Gobhil was asked to sing the Saamved.

He sang the verses very well, but he had to take respite in order to breathe between two verses. This angered devdutt. He spoke his thoughts to Gobhil rishi.

The rishi got very angry as devdutt did not realise the practicalities of singing. He cursed devdutt that
