Or are there infinite numbers of sexes and different genders? Because, I hear intersex being brought up a lot in those contexts.

2018-11-16 14:57:19 UTC  

Because, if there is no clear sex, then there cannot be gender expression that correlates to any sex, because gender is any appearance.

2018-11-16 14:57:20 UTC  

Gender expression is a thing only because some people get thier undies in a bunch when a guy wears a dress or cosmetics

2018-11-16 14:57:31 UTC  

You would no longer be able to tie any appearance to any sex.

2018-11-16 14:57:40 UTC  

Wearing a hat could be a gender expression then.

2018-11-16 14:57:49 UTC  

Yes a hat can

2018-11-16 14:57:51 UTC  

so we are protecting people from being called weird?

2018-11-16 14:58:01 UTC  

Why should wearing a dress be a gender expression if it is all a social construct and there are correlations with sex?

2018-11-16 14:58:07 UTC  

why protect wearing a dress and not a pocket protector?

2018-11-16 14:58:42 UTC  

What parts of your appearance are related to gender?

2018-11-16 14:58:52 UTC  

You would no longer be able to tell.

2018-11-16 14:59:07 UTC  

this would be part of the problem with such things being accepted. where is the line

2018-11-16 14:59:09 UTC  

Then nothing or everything could be tied to gender.

2018-11-16 14:59:22 UTC  

what is the difference.

2018-11-16 14:59:45 UTC  

I gotta go to work but I'd love to talk more about this later

2018-11-16 14:59:52 UTC  

certainly

2018-11-16 14:59:53 UTC  

k sorry

2018-11-16 14:59:57 UTC  

i derailed this

2018-11-16 15:00:21 UTC  

No, you comments are inline with my current line of questioning

2018-11-16 15:00:25 UTC  

No, it's fine. I know you don't like birds very much.

2018-11-16 15:00:25 UTC  

but i am curious

2018-11-16 15:00:49 UTC  

No worries. I teach Transgender Medicine and it confuses me how society has been going the past 10 years or so.

2018-11-16 15:01:22 UTC  

we'll pick this up later

2018-11-16 15:01:32 UTC  

give me a ping when you are done with work

2018-11-16 15:01:38 UTC  

(i almost have a meeting to go to)

2018-11-16 15:01:49 UTC  

Where do you teach?

2018-11-16 15:01:57 UTC  

CA or WA?

2018-11-16 15:21:12 UTC  
2018-11-16 15:53:44 UTC  

Yes, that is what I predicted.

2018-11-16 17:55:54 UTC  

(Will their Ballot ever be submitted? Tune in next time on USA Today)

2018-11-16 18:01:31 UTC  

Wasn't the Broward County election already declared illegal?

2018-11-16 19:00:01 UTC  

I think it was

2018-11-16 19:22:26 UTC  

I don't know where to bring this, but I was in a godawful Twitter "debate" yesterday with someone who insisted the majority of Americans are for stricter gun control, and then proved it by citing a poll
where they got responses from 1,000 people.
I did the math myself and that came out to approximately .0003% of the U.S. population.
I tried to tell them that's a horrible sample size if you want to represent the views of the entire nation, but then they spent several tweets after that insisting I just don't understand how representative sampling works and I was engaging in the personal incredulity fallacy.
But I feel like I wasn't too far off. I mean, come on.

2018-11-16 19:24:34 UTC  

I felt like it fit in here because I feel like they were using statistics in the same way fake news would.

2018-11-16 19:30:58 UTC  

@Pendell not to mention that, if this twitter user regularly espouses viewpoints of a particular political tribe, then their followers likely belong to that same political tribe which could skew the results of the poll

2018-11-16 19:31:14 UTC  

or at least a majority of their followers

2018-11-16 19:36:37 UTC  

No, it was another poll, like a random call poll done by Gallup

2018-11-16 19:36:46 UTC  

So there wasn't likely a bias to the organization or results but still

2018-11-16 19:38:27 UTC  

oh that kind of poll. I thought it was one of those built-in twitter polls

2018-11-16 19:39:00 UTC  

Nah

2018-11-16 19:41:05 UTC  

It still isn't a very good sample size I think
