Gender Studies I

[Kepler]

Agreed, mostly, and also often to justify the purpose of a trade organization. In the case of bartenders its also to help identify and cut off drunks, spot scumbags drugging women, etc.

Once upon a time there was a Code, where conservatives (and it was always conservatives) who were getting women drunk to rape them found themselves in the back alley where, well, the private sector "voted with their feet."

At this point, if you register R your name should just be added to the sex offenders list, for your moronic and malevolent religious prejudices, whether they are Islamic or Christian (same thing).

There is no reason to continue to carry this useless trash.

Totally. And depending on the investment the hospital makes into nurses aids (newsflash: never enough of an investment), it's literal **** they go through.

It always seemed silly to me that hospitals require relatively highly educated nurses provide some of the really basic and unskilled care. Sure, in emergencies it's all hands on deck. But what a poor investment it is to pay someone $40-70 per hour to give bed baths, take POC tests... yeah. Lots of low skilled tasks.

The CNAs do the bed baths at $11/hr*. Am also in violent agreement that CNAs are way underpaid and under-appreciated. They do the majority of the tasks people associate with nurses for 1/3 the pay.

So how many?

Dozens.

How many have YOU witnessed, never mind resuscitating the very low GA babies yourself?

[French Rage]

Dozens.

Sorry, dozens of biological genders?

[MissThundercat]

Sorry, dozens of biological genders?

...and every time someone complains, we add 5 more

...and every time someone complains, we add 5 more

What's our secret?

Starmer and the Labour Party are supporting this as well. That sound you hear is the last scraps of Labour votes quickly leaving Scotland.

I admit my knowledge of UK politics is... less than knowledgeable, but where would they go? I thought they were very against the Conservatives after Brexit?

The same place they’ve been going to: the SNP. The Scottish National Party.

I tried telling Nicola Sturgeon to quietly leave Westminster and build a giant wall along the border back when Liz Truss was destroying the UK economy. In all the confusion it's likely no one would have noticed.

Sorry, dozens of biological genders?

Dozens of births, most of them premature, or meconium aspiration, or cord issues... (I could go on.)

I wouldn't have had to be in the delivery room otherwise.

The thread was bumped, but I don't see anything. Thread has ghosts. I need to do cocaine about it.

Biological gender exists, people. Ask anyone...

How many biological genders exist?

[Kepler]

Fishman, gender is different from sex. Gender is socially defined; sex is physically defined. Gender does not necessarily follow from sex. We take our cues from sex in estimating gender, but the person themselves gets the final word.

We have now had close to twenty years of public discussion about this difference, and of these cases, so it is pardonable if the person making your grand assumptions and statements contra medical and psychological consensus runs the risk of being dismissed as a troll. On the chance you are not, I can state that as an Old, even finding the distinction easy to grasp, I still had difficulty putting myself into the mind and body of people whose gender has been misassigned.

But one thing I have no trouble understanding is they go through hell, and the cynical political manipulation of their pain for the electoral advantage of Republicans is yet one more reason the Right is held in the esteem it currently is.
