What’s really crazy is when you spend a ton of time editing an image because you think the idea is funny and the post goes nowhere. Then you repost some bullshit and it makes front page.

My experience has been the opposite. Lemmings take everything too seriously.

Lotta BIG QWERTY’s on Lemmy

edit: I thought you were using ‘QWERTY’ as a pejorative term for ‘know-it-all’. Turns out you actually mean the keyboard.

The argument makes less sense outside of it’s context. Moore was responding to the skeptical position that we’re all in a simulation. Moore argues that this skeptical argument undermines itself: all of the language, terms and concepts which form the simulation argument are based on the sensory experience that the argument would effectively dismiss. Furthermore, any argument that we’re in a simulation is epistemologically on a par with the argument that we’re not. Therefore we should have less confidence in the skeptical argument than the common sense conclusion that we have hands.

Reminds me of the G.E. Moore epistemological argument against universal skepticism:

• Here is one hand,
• And here is another.
• There are at least two external objects in the world.
• Therefore, an external world exists.

Philosophy sometimes goes so far that an appeal to common sense is a breath of fresh air.

omfg don’t get me started on double parking on crowded streets

I know that feel

Well my life is a joke so…

Yep. King of the Hill, Season 3, Episode 3 - Peggy’s Headache. Good eye!

The idea is that gender identity is something you’re born with but gender expression is a choice. Consider three examples:

1. A trans person in a community that doesn’t accept them may decide to dress and act in accordance with their biological sex even though (secretly, on the inside) they have a different gender identity.
2. Tomboys. Born as a biological female, identifies as a woman, but she expresses her gender in a way that people usually think of as being masculine.
3. Drag/Crossdressing. You can be born as a man, identify as a man, but enjoy wearing woman’s clothes (as part of a performance on stage or just because you like it).

Just like sex and gender are separable, gender identity and gender expression are separable.

You’re running together gender and sex and then saying gender isn’t real. The reality is more nuanced.

1 ) You’re born with your sex (biologically determined), 2) you’re also born with gender identity, and 3) the way you present your gender is called gender expression. So I can be born a biological male but have a woman gender identity and this would make me transgender. Now whether I choose to dress in masculine or feminine clothes this doesn’t change my sex or gender identity.

No, you’re born with gender. Literally the point of trans-gender is they were born with a gender that doesn’t match their biological sex.

edit: Can’t tell if you guys don’t think trans people are a thing or what. Either way, reality isn’t determined by up/down votes.

I actually moved the artist’s information to the middle of the image so that I didn’t crop it out. So thank you ;)
