And how would you know which one was the woman?

I mean, these are personal stories people have told me. That's my source. I've spoken with thousands of people about their childhood trauma from tons of different backgrounds, including foster children.

Look at child abuse laws in your state. How are they defined? Anything short of that is completely allowed as discipline. If you give me your state (or name an example state if that's too personal), I'll post the laws.

If you'd like a resource to verify that, either call your local CPS office or non-emergency police. They are public servants. Ask them. They will tell you. It's completely true. You can even put locks on your fridge and partially starve your kid as long as it doesn't threaten their lives.

No, I'm not. Saying gender must be perfomed to the traditional binary in order to be recognized as the gender you state is exactly what Republicans are arguing with their genital inspections.

They look at a woman or man and say "that's not woman or man enough!" This thinking is inappropriate and leads to abuse like genital inspections. We are not entitled to placing gender onto someone else. We accept it from the other person as they define it.

Sure, we might project our experience of gender onto someone and assume their gender. But that doesn't mean our projection is the reality of what gender must be for that person.

presuppose useful information about a person

Yes, and in your opinion, what specifically is that information?

What is it describing? Can you be more specific?

It would be better to microdose lithium if you really don't want to be high imo. 5-20mg range, can be intermittent (doses for bipolar are in the 100mg range and up). There's already lithium in some water supplies and in foods like potatoes, so a small amount in a microdose normally doesn't affect anyone negatively.

I will say over time your body will adjust to cannabis so if you microdose at night consistently before bed, you'll just sleep it off anyway and eventually it won't even get you high anymore.

Eta: lol the downvote is even funnier

No wonder Cheech&Chong, Willie Nelson, Snoop, and Lily Tomlin seem pretty young at heart/mind for their age

Oh I never listed precedence because you never asked for it. She was just an example of a similar sitiation where people were indeed sympathetic.

We can start here, a historical case: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francine_Hughes

I'm not being hyperbolic, frankly that's not what hyperbole means. I'm saying that as far as it concerns you, as an individual, how someone else defines woman is largely irrelevant, or whether they define themselves as woman is irrelevant. From an outsider's perspective on another person's gender, the only thing necessary to know is their pronouns.

Maybe it would help to think of gender as a type of artistic expression. Certainly we use fashion and makeup artistically to express gender. And just like we might say "that's not goth," and then end up with pastel goths as a whole vibe, we also get femboy transmen and dyke/butch transwomen and a bunch of other variations that are possible. We can no more define what a woman or gender is to an individual experiencing it, than we can define what is art to someone experiencing it.

Okay, so then why do we have a word for woman? What is the intention of that category? Is it really necessary to define anyway? If not, why does it matter what a woman is except its what she calls herself?

Then what's the point of using the word woman at all?
