Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Because she is a woman. It's really that simple.
trans woman*
Trans woman = woman, I fail to see your point.
They are saying that all women — cis and trans — are women. It doesn’t mean or imply that trans women and cis women have no differences.
I must be confused about what an equal sign means then.
Trans women = women
Cis women = women
Cis women ≠ trans women
transfone!
False, the '=' is transitive, meaning:
A = B and B = C implies A = C
The symbol you meant to use is the implication arrow: =>
Trans women => women
Cis women => women
Black women => women
Lesbian women => women
This means: If the left statement is true, the right statement must also be true. If the left statement is false, you don't know whether the right statement is true or false.
I would just use the subset symbol ⊆. I think it makes more sense here.
You're right, I don't have that on my keyboard though
Besides, a ∈ A ⊆ B => a ∈ B, so what I wrote is not THAT nonsensical
Did you understand what I was saying?
Yes?
Then it's true. This isn't a math class in university this is a conversation on Lemmy. You understood the point so my message was conveyed.
I don't mean to be a pedant but that math doesn't make much sense.
They are trying to say that cis and trans women both fall under the larger group known as women, they just don't understand math.
I know what they are trying to say, I just don't think they realize that mathematically it doesn't make sense.
Agreed.
Could you explain what part of it doesn't make sense to you? (Or what part you disagree with) Maybe one of us can clarify better if we start there
Literally do not care I'm not in a math class I'm on Lemmy. I conveyed the point and you understood it so it did make sense. Learn how language and communication works.
You're being intentionally dense. Different adjectives can apply to the same noun without implying those adjectives are the same thing. It's extremely basic grammar.
"X is Y" in English translates mathematically to "X is a subset of Y"
Here's an example written out in plain English. You can do the exercise of translating it to math terms to see how it makes sense.
Am I the same as you absolutely? No? Ok but we are both humans, right?
When assigning things to categories we make lists of properties. So yes there are differences but those aren't the criteria of assignment. A 90 year old cis woman and a 19 year old cis woman are both still woman despite them having differences.
I bet you would equally have a problem with the phrase "women are women" because there is no 1:1 equivalence between two women. Ask yourself why "natural" has to be added in the response when it wasn't in the original statement?
Saying women=women would be an accurate statement.
It is unfortunate that people are being attacked for asking questions. It is very toxic here.
Please define what a 'natural woman' is. Specifically. Is it chromosomes? Is it anatomy?
