For this topic misinformation is any information that promotes needle hesitancy or anti authoritarian approved information.
Here is an example of misinformation that can't be posted to YouTube, twitter, Facebook or any mainline medium. Is this good public policy?
This is a MUST WATCH.

Being apathetic is great....or not. I don't really care.

Post #222Already shown to be false, yet you persist in repeating it.

Post #223BTW, anyone interested in a comprehensive review of gender dysphoria, treatments, protocols, and the current science behind them should definitely read the following Yale School of Medicine paper I cited above: https://medicine.yale.edu/lgbtqi/resear ... d-science/
Unfortunately the politicization of this issue has provided an opening for a great deal of misinformation to spread. Hopefully the info in the Yale article can offer some clarification and dispel some persistent myths.

Post #224No, it has not been shown to be false. You persist in denying it. Sex is the reproductive method in mammals. A human female produces stationary ova containing 23 chromosomes, one of which is X. A human male produces motile sperm containing 23 chromosomes, one of which is X or Y. When fertilisation occurs the cell contains 23 chromosome pairs which then may develop into a human being. Essentially very cell contains these 23 pairs and if XY is present the human becomes a male. The outcome is different from those with XX. It is all obviously binary. When things go wrong and conditions such as intersex arise, that is not the creation of a new sex. It is a fault within the binary sex system. People born without legs do not create a new subspecies of legless human beings.
As much as some people may have a desire to change their sex, it is not possible. Every cell of their body is part of an XX or XY machine that determines what they are. One can surgically manipulate the external appearance, but that does not change the underlying sex. Or, one can spend a lifetime fighting cell processes with a regime of drug treatments that do no more than attempt to contravene natural biochemical forces. Males cannot become females, and females cannot become males. When people undergo any form of transition it is just a cosmetic illusion. Ironically, at the same time they reinforce the binary nature of sex. No one transitions to an alternative to those two because they don't exist. Even people who are intersex in the main function as one or the other.
As to gender identity, that is where we enter clown world and the stupidity of a supposedly advanced human culture boggles the mind. It's like celebrating halloween, but not just for a day, or a month. The West does not need to fear a physical invasion from outside forces because their society is being white-anted from within.

Post #225I've provided multiple citations and links to valid scientific articles from highly qualified scientists in the relevant fields, each of which contain a suite of additional citations and links to even more scientific articles and resources.brunumb wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 7:11 pmNo, it has not been shown to be false.

You've not addressed any of it and instead have replied with nothing more than "Nuh uh" and your empty, citation-free say-so. I'm not sure why you think anyone would go with your say-so over the collective works of thousands of scientists, but that seems to be what you're expecting.
News flash: Bald assertions in internet forums do not trump actual science. You probably should have picked that up while debating creationists, but....here we are.

Re: Should misinformation be banned from the major platforms?
Post #226Thank you for that......... and so please can you confirm that it is possible for a male with an XY chromosome pair to be asexual?brunumb wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 2:36 am Human cells contain 23 chromosome pairs. One of them can be XX which determines that the person is female. The other can be XY which determines that the person is male. Genes, which are sections of all the chromosomes, together determine the characteristics of the individual person. It's not just the sex chromosomes.
You might also tell me if you think a woman with an XX chromosome pair can be asexual?

Re: Should misinformation be banned from the major platforms?
Post #227Biological sex and sex attraction are separate things. Asexual simply means that someone is not sexually attracted to anyone, male or female. Homosexual means attracted to people of the same biological sex and such people can be male or female.oldbadger wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 1:09 amThank you for that......... and so please can you confirm that it is possible for a male with an XY chromosome pair to be asexual?brunumb wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 2:36 am Human cells contain 23 chromosome pairs.

And you have provided nothing here in this discussion that demonstrates that what I have said is scientifically incorrect. I am a scientist myself with published papers and not just some internet numpty graduate of TikTok U.

Post #230[Replying to oldbadger in post #226]
There are certain foods I don't like (eg. broccoli, eggs, tomotoes) despite these being enjoyed by many (most?) other people, and the reason I don't like them is because of taste, texture, smell, etc. Just my personal response to these foods and maybe there is some genetic basis for it (I have no idea). I'd think an asexual disposition is similar ... some combination of things in the development of a person that results in the lack of sexual desire. But I don't think this is related to whether their 23rd pair of chromosomes is XX or XY. An asexual XY should be able to reproduce via the usual method ... but has no interest in doing the deed for some reason.
As brunumb commented, sex preferences are separate from biological sex makeup. I'd categorize someone being asexual, bisexual, homosexual, etc. a result of their personal preferences and desires, however those desires come about. I'm heterosexual and can't understand how a man could prefer another man over a woman, but I have no doubt that the desire of homosexuals for sexual activity with someone of their own sex (or no one at all) is genuine and real ... I'm just not "wired" that way myself.Thank you for that......... and so please can you confirm that it is possible for a male with an XY chromosome pair to be asexual?
