    Good, there is hope this pronoun gender fluid crap dies off in the future. We (or at least I) have said from day 1 that one day we'll look back and either think "that is the dumbest thing that society thought genders were fluid, could change, and people could pick pronouns" or it'll be "grandpa, how come you were such a bigot back in the 2020s thinking there were just 2 genders?"

      Gender is made up and agreed upon as Kenny would say so yeah tell me you’re this or that style of gendergoblin that’s cool.

      But sexual dimorphism evolved almost one billion years ago and there are precisely two sexes, no less and no more, intersex is not a third sex, there are no intermediate gametes, and your gender was determined at meiosis* not ‘assigned’ at birth.

      *or, plausibly, determined at conception. The difference is a frame of reference thing.

      You were warned.

        Yeah the gender/culture thing I can even see, from a very zoomed out lens. But even still, it would be more accurate to just say someone is a feminine man, or a masculine woman, since the cultural gender at the end of the day is just an association to the gender characteristics (look, voice, clothing, interests...), of course that is an option other than calling it a mental illness... aka gender dysphoria, or faulty neuronal development.

            There's a good question - what will Pete do now to keep from fading? They seem to think he's a viable presidential candidate. I disagree.

            I bet he's glad the other guy took over this week.

                Pete can think on his feet, and he can speak coherently, at least from what I remember. He seems genuine. His brand of progressive ideology (educated white female luxury beliefs) is probably past its expiration date, but I guess there's a chance that pendulum will swing back. There's also a chance he'll be given some wiggle room to change perspectives. Beyond ideology, the Dems are in desperate need of a person who can speak and think at a relatively high level.

                  I don't know of anyone on the progressive side who can do that who would be acceptable enough to win the White House.

                    I'm not that confident. The non-Maga vote gives any Dem what, 40% of the electorate automatically? The swing voters will depend on how well the economy does under Trump. This supposed overwhelming mandate of Trump's win, was still based on one or two percent of the voters flipping sides as compared to 2020. A coherent, intelligent-seeming, non-geriatric, and maybe even likeable candidate will go a long way.

                      So who on the progressive wing would that be? More of a blue dog, sure. And there are plenty. But there are no more Obamas waiting out there.

                        No pronouns in bios on presentations at NHC.

                        They did have these you could take and put on your badge. I only saw one woman using one.
