Well I missed the gender part.

Gender is likewise a social construct. Every human, male or female could theoretically develop into either phenotype regardless of physical characteristics that they eventually do develop. All of that is thrown out the window though when you examine our roles in society. We could have the choice of not distinguishing between us at all. Our thoughts and actions on gender have changed substantially over the past few hundred years. Between clothes and fashion and family structures, how we look at gender changes.

  1. I self-identify as a woman. I am transgender too, but some transgender women don't actually identify as transgender if they transitioned really young. Society at large would not treat these people as "transgender women" and merely women

  2. How society treats me is a bit more up in the air though. Many people do recognize me as a woman. I have the same social role as a single woman generally has. I wear women's clothes, I have women's hobbies, I talk, I act, and other people treat me like a woman. I've even experienced misogyny, as people will talk to my male colleagues and ignore me completely. However, some people tend to just stay away from me and pretend I don't exist. They'd say that they were gay for liking me. But this is because I'm part of a different minority, being transgender rather than because I am a woman

Transgender women are indeed women. They will experience the same joys and the same struggles as women do. But of course they're still transgender and they will experience the same struggles as every transgender person does.

So

Race is what we call a social construct. There isn't anything substantial physically separating white people from black people or anything else. Really it's a matter of culture and shared history. There are a couple of things that make somebody actually part of that group.

  1. How they see themselves. Do they recognize themselves as a part of this group?

  2. How society sees them. Would society recognize them as part of that group? This includes their history and ancestry as well as how society treats them based off of their looks and culture

I can't say for 100% certainty that she doesn't see herself as black, but I still am 99% sure. Her own actions are incredibly unserious and I don't think she has any real connections with the history or ancestry of Brazilian black people. She's never had to live as that class of people either.

Of course this is a very broad oversimplification. I'm not black but I am part of a different minority

When cats go into heat, it really stresses them out a lot if they can't do the deed. If they're not going to be breeding, they should be neutered or spayed for the same reasons others have pointed out

Why should Estrogen not be applied to the breasts?

What's the house of representatives supposed to do? Represent the people? Next you'll be telling me that we have a system of checks and balances in the government

The US is going to deal with sunk costs especially if there's a ground invasion and legitimacy crisis in the world sphere and it probably won't be able to muster enough missiles for Taiwan. I imagine anyone who relies on Iranian oil is going to suffer too

Various military groups across Africa are probably going to lose one of their financial backers. Shia Islam may lose some of its sway, as Iran is the main actor promoting it I know most of those groups are non-state actors, but that's a list of people I can think about. The biggest loser is Iran and it's people right now and it remains whether the powers that be will actually be able to win the peace. Seeing who's at the helm though?

...I don't see peaceful years ahead for them

I'd rather have the option to join the armed forces than be banned from them like I am in the US.

Digging through a meme that I probably found in 2014. I guess I kept it around for a reason Some people aren't really that smart, but they more than make up for it in heart

Where were you when USAID was kil

I gotta post something, so I'll post the mechanical calculator that the flight school wanted me to get. How it works is that you can set ratios in the dial and multiply them. In this picture, it's 60:10 (or 60:1.0) so I can take any number from the inner circle in minutes and find out how many hours that is equal to on the outer circle.

There are also other things on this calculator, including a wind vector calculator, and charts. Most pilots don't use these anymore, but they still wanted me to know how to use one
