It's entirely plausible that most were thinking that but didn't say anything for fear of backlash. If so then the mere act of them speaking what's really on their mind is, what I would argue as, "healthy discussion".

Either way, I've been finding a lot of what's being said here today as interesting and mentally engaging on some level.

> This is my first time really reading a legal opinion

I enjoy reading SCOTUS opinions. Here are a couple meta things to keep in mind when reading high court opinions.

First, SCOTUS is mostly focused on issues where lower courts have disagreed on a case or issue. The goal is that courts should be consistent because their job is to interpret the law. Juries are (mostly) responsible for interpreting facts. Elected legislatures are responsible for creating the laws.

So, at the SCOTUS level they want to provide clarity about how to interpret fundamental issues of law and the constitution when lower courts interpret things in different ways. They usually are not primarily concerned with the specific outcome of some case. They want to fix potential 'bugs' in the system. In software programming terms, they want to fix problems with the language interpreter or parser, not so much the debug the program. When two supposedly compatible interpreters get different results from the same program code, they want to disambiguate the language rules.

In fact, their opinions sometimes essentially concede, "We don't like the result of correctly interpreting this law (ie "program code") but the interpreter is running correctly. The legislature needs to fix the law. (ie write less ambiguous code)." Obviously, this sometimes clashes with the public's everyday understanding of courts pursuing 'justice.'

A surprising number of laws have ambiguous wording, so it's interesting when I read a SCOTUS case where I hate the net effect of the decision but agree that it's correct. In a sense, writing laws shares much in common with software programming. Sometimes the code isn't doing what the programmer intended but it is running as written, or: bad legislators often blame the courts in the same way bad programmers blame the compiler or CPU.
He had enough charges lined up (up to 5 years for every count, IIRC) that he would likely be imprisoned for life. Goes without saying but he was also an incredibly paranoid person.

Okay then what do you compare people on? If you're not comparing them against other people who can do the same job...

The point you made is that you think it's only a fair comparison if you can clone the same person. Which is simply false unless your determination of a person's value is dependent upon that person rather than upon their output.

That’s largely the source of my confusion.

The way I see it, either:

- ‘gender’ is a synonym for ‘sex’

- ‘gender’ is being misused as a synonym ‘gender roles’, which are defined by one’s sex.

If that’s not correct, then what is the actual correct definition of gender?

Western Liberalism is a self correcting, evolving system of ideas and rigorous analysis of what is considered knowledge. So yes, per the people that were considered "the people" during those times, this belief was very strongly held indeed.
Whether or not that is a thing depends on where you are.

The most common type of surgery is breast. In the USA, double mastectomies on children are legal, and have been performed on patients as young as 13. As for gender dysphoria itself, according to some surveys the frequency of teenage biological girls diagnosed with the disorder has risen by a factor of 40 in recent years.

I think there will be rather a lot of us who are quite animated by this issue—one that doesn’t directly affect us—because of our own past experiences.

As a gay man growing up in the 90s, I very acutely remember some of the public discourse around gay rights while I was a teenager. In the UK, that specifically included a coordinated campaign against mentions of homosexuality in education, with some pretty stark attempts to smear gay men in particular as dangerous predators and paedophiles intent on sneaking their agenda into schools so that they could abuse children.

If I’m honest with you, I wouldn’t be particularly animated about trans rights myself (beyond being generally supportive) if it weren’t for the fact that I see exactly the same techniques and accusations levelled against the trans community—specifically trans women—as were used against people like myself 20 years ago.

So I’ve personally gone from generally supportive-if-disinterested, to being absolutely fucking furious that this is being allowed to happen again. I’ve observed absolute outright lies about a minority group being repeated by people in positions of influence, and while it might not affect that many people directly I am so absolutely disgusted by it that I fully intend on being extremely vocal about it.
> This is provably untrue.

Both of you are correct, you're just looking at probabilities conditioned in the opposite way. You're looking at P(trans | killed), which is low. The parent post is looking at P(killed | trans), which is quite high. Understandably, if you are trans P(killed | trans) is a lot more relevant to you than P(trans | killed).
>> and well-meaning attempts at gender reassignment surgery for them will backfire

> The only thing kids can go on are puberty blockers.

So instead of specifying gender reassignment surgery, they should have something more broad, like well-meaning medical interventions. It seems like the heart of their statement is true and that these medical interventions on children can backfire.
>Your analogies don’t apply because, with the exception of age (mental age vs. physical age), there is no mental analog to race, height, eye color, etc.

Why? What specifically makes transrace/race-identity any less valid of a concept than transgender/gender-identity? You say there is no mental analog to race but there's just as much proof of that as there is for gender identity. I've always loved african-american music and culture, I use black slang a lot, I felt like I didn't fit in with my white peers growing up- maybe I identify as black and will designate myself as such on my job/college applications going forward. Who are you to tell me my race-identity isn't valid? Maybe I'm just hardwired that way.

>I’d analogize gender identity to sexual orientation: there is nothing physiological that distinguishes heterosexual people from homosexual people, but the former are hardwired to be sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex, while the latter are hardwired to be sexually attracted to members of the same sex.

If there is nothing physiological to make that determination I think 'hardwired' isn't the right term

"I'd like it if someone could convince me that these are not legitimate concerns."

They are legitimate concerns. Just don't use them as an excuse to not get started. You don't need to hit it out of the park with the first therapist. Hell you may go through a dozen before you connect with one that is more helpful than not.

The key is to get started, and then do something else if the path you started isn't leading anywhere. Iterate.

When I was in high school, we read both "1984" and "Brave New World."

At the time I kind of thought: "liberals are more like BNW with drugs and 'karma' and such, and conservatives are more like 1984 with endless wars and refusing to acknowledge things."

At some point in my life, it feels this has flipped.

I now see conservatives as consuming soma (tv) to lull them into a false and simple world, and liberals as enforcing wrong-think.

Obviously, life is much more complex than two books, and similarities can be drawn in any direction. But I still find it interesting having watched my perceptions flip.
i’m always amused that the answer is always “work harder” and “do more shit”. meanwhile, in other consulting professions, people say “no”. why is this so difficult? the only remaining solid piece of advice here is to specialize. i can confirm this works.

I am pretty sure I recognize the hold music. I believe it is from uberconference.com. You likely found one of their teleconference lines. Each paid UC user gets their own local number. When a conference is active, dialing it will connect you immediately to the conference. (Of course, the host can chose to require a PIN, but I never had any unknown drop ins.) It is SO much better than Zoom’s system.
That's possible, but isn't that true in France (and presumably other countries) as well and relatively reasonable? "Bad words" have more impact and power, by design.

> I don't dispute that cis-women can sexually assault other cis-women, and that sexual assault is a problem in men's prisons and women's prisons and exists with or without the presence of trans men and women.

In that case you're hard pressed to argue why housing trans women in women's prisons exacerbates this issue, unless you think trans women are more likely to be rapists. Excluding an entire population on the basis that some of them might rape people is not just if rape is already a problem.

> To completely stop sexual assault in prisons, people would have to be housed in separate cells.

I mostly agree, but it's very easy to construct a solution to these problems while ignoring the present reality. Almost no trans people are currently housed in prisons that accord with their gender identity, and 35% of trans people in prisons themselves report having been sexually assaulted in the past year as of 2015 [1]. The status quo is pretty dire for them too, and their safety should be weighed against the safety of the cis people they might otherwise be housed with.

No society is perfect, but existing failures should not be the standard or justification for future changes. And there will probably never be universal consensus on everything because many policies are, at least to an certain extend, a matter of personal preference. Whether you want the state to be involved in something is often a matter of personal preference, do you prefer universal healthcare, do you prefer private health insurance, or are you willing to take the risk and have no health insurance at all? At least at first glance there is no single right answer to such questions and letting everyone decide is also not generally an option, for example if all healthy people get cheap private health insurance then universal healthcare does not work.

And your preferences are often a consequence of who you are, if you are healthy and wealthy and have a good job, then it is easy to prefer a state that does not want your money and lets you decide freely. If you are poor or have health issues or a high risk of being unemployed then you might reasonable prefer a stronger state. What you should be actually doing to decide your position in such matters is using the veil of ignorance, what policies would you want implemented if you were not yet born and you did not know whether you will be born into the richest family, or the poorest, or what sex or skin color you will have. So even in questions of personal preferences one can at least to some degree be more objective by considering different points of view.

So if the state decides for you that does not necessarily mean that the state acts arbitrarily, it might just optimize for different goals. And those might be arbitrary preferences by the people in power but there might also be sound reasoning behind and the resulting policy just does not align with your personal preferences. And sure, if there is some sound reasoning behind making prostitution illegal, then one should do this. But if the reasoning behind making prostitution illegal is to limit human trafficking then I do not see how you can have the resources to harass all the prostitutes but can not target human trafficking specifically and keep prostitution legal. But this might admittedly just be ignorance on my side.

Let us say that the OP believes in reincarnation and believes that his soul is black, used to live in black bodies, and was mistakenly reincarnated into a white body on this occasion, but still feels black and carries memories of being black.

Quite a lot of people on Earth believe in reincarnation and would find such a situation entirely possible. The question is, is a Western country obliged to respect a religious argument like this?

Maybe yes. After all, race is said to be a social construct. Why not add reincarnation into the mix.

Didn't the clients expect holy 8 hours in this case?

Another class of freelancers/consultants which are missed out from this discussion (hourly rate vs other): long-term/indefinite flex-time workers. No estimations or promises, just pay-as-you-go for several years or more. With the hourly rate, in this setup, one can work 5 hours one week, 0 hours second week, 35 another week... So a kind of very flexible employment arrangement disguised as consulting.
