Bruh. You realize that each one of those charts isn't a different sex, right?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll take that as "no you can't disentangle them"

[–] powerstruggle@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're disentangled already, but before clarifying how you're wrong, let's make sure you understand. Can you affirm you understand that those don't each represent a different sex?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What the fuck are finding hard about "same thing at the top of several of them" that made you think they were disentangled? If I made maps where only one underground line was on each map it would in no way prove that the lines aren't tangled in real life! Are you completely stupid or is it an act for the purpose of trolling more?

Given that we disagree about the meaning of the word sex and your charts use your definition, why on earth would it be meaningful for you to slap the word male and female on ten diargams that appear unconnected in only the most stupid and superficial sense that they're in separate images, and why the fuck do you think I would fall for such a juvenile ruse?

If your (trump-following) "organised around producing" large gametes or small gametes theory that you've been telling everyone about for days and days on end holds water, have one chart, no duplicated nodes, split by gamete size, no tangles, the body is "organised" around the size of the gametes by your own definition, all the primary and secondary sexual characteristics well easily follow the "organisation" you claim is so definitive.

Or admit that your definition is useless.

I didn't slap anything on anything. Do you understand that those charts don't each represent a different sex?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you understand that anyone who actually knows something about it also knows that sex is more complicated than you claim? Did you understand that you're being a complete arse to trans people? Wait, yes, you knew that one. That was the deliberate part.

Do you understand that those charts don’t each represent a different sex?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I understand that you're unable to use your definition to untangle the real chart. It's OK, I knew that you wouldn't be able to, and I also knew that you wouldn't be able to admit that you can't, because I also know that you want to win more than you want to be right. You're quite happy to be wrong as long as you're winning.

One day you may realise that truth and people are more important than winning, but that day is definitely not going to be today, and definitely won't be written about using the powerstruggle account. Do you think that Charlie kirk realised that his loyalty to winning arguments was misplaced as he was dying, or do you think he died happy for a cause he believed in - the right to bear arms no matter the consequences?

I understand that using reason, logic, truth and sense to debate with you was a waste of time and that we continue to disagree about sex. You claim there are only two sexes yet you are unable to demonstrate that on the real chart and you are unable to see that your eleven charts would be tangled up if you drew them as one diagram with one node each for each set of chromosomes, but there I go, talking logic to a bigoted troll who wouldn't admit they were wrong under any circumstances whatsoever, because truth matters to them less than "winning".

Did you own the libs again, powerstruggle? Did all the little red downvotes on the rest of the conversation prove you were winning your little war against the libs?

I don't think you're very good at spotting when I'm being facetious and when I'm making a serious point. Let's try again.

Hahahahahahahaha powerstruggle can't even tell the difference been TEN and TWO!

Your diagrams overlap a lot and it's a lie to say that you have disentangled the real chart when you have ignored and omitted details that don't fit with your oversimplified untestable pseudoscience.

Your heart's not really in it any more, is it? You're not even trying to win the argument at all, you're just trying to get the last word.

Do you understand that you're autistic and trans and in denial?

No, you don't. But we do.

Why would it matter either way?
