Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread] (Reposted from the other site)

Let's not forget hermaphrodites either. I'm no biologist, but I'm sure hermaphrodites are neither male nor female. Maybe they are both? Regardless, there are more than two sexes in humanity.

It's never the other way around, is it? If trans women are not allowed to compete with other women, they must admit trans men. They would never admit trans men.

That's one reason I never had a stag night myself.

I told the bride. They got married anyway, but it didn't last.

Around the year 2.000, a friend got married. I went to the bachelor's party. I paid 5.000 pesetas for "a night out with striptease". They hired two hookers who got naked in zero point two seconds. The assembled men then proceeded to fuck the women on the bride's bed. I left immediately.

Every millionaire who benefited from both Trump administrations should lose all the extra wealth accrued. A lump sum tax.

When I became a student are Utrecht University, I heard there were sexual assault and rape allegations against one male fraternity. I never applied to that fraternity. Fuck those fucks! Obviously, that fraternity produces the "best" networks and the highest paid CEOs.

The Venn diagram of preachers and frauds overlap completely. Change my mind!

One of the first fields AI got into was medicine. It has been used to train doctors, to help diagnose diseases, help design drugs, help understand proteins, etcetera. Now, imagine getting into student debt only to compete with AI doctors.

I oftentimes, but not always, match the sticker on the lid with the sticker on the jar. My wife:

A carton cacao jar with the design of the lid lined up with the body.

I must echo Tina Turner: You're simply the best. Better than all the rest.

Capitalism is trickle-up economics. The rich get richer. Trickle-down economics skips the trickle-up part. The rich get richer faster. Welcome to my Ted talk.

Nazis are against the mythical replacement theory because they don't want to be replaced by decent people.

As an admirer of Marie Antoinette, I made cake, like peasants do.

This meme is factually incorrect for two reasons. 1. Hitler's first concentration camp, Dachau, was opened mere months after he came to power. 2. Alligator Alcatraz was opened mere months after Trump came to power. The Nazis did start with concentration camps.

There's nothing wrong with the word "nigger" as long as you don't use it to insult people. I don't use the word "nigger" as an insult because I'm not a fucking racist. I'm sure that, being a European, the word doesn't have the same weight for me than for Americans.

I guess everybody agrees that the bible has a great many moral lessons (just like why other holey book). The problem is that we don't agree on which lessons should be turned into law. Fetal personhood can't be found in the bible, but religious people think it is. There's nothing about the internet

Let's add roadkill to our diets! Brainworms are yummy!

Megyn Kelly, of "me too" fame, only wants one person to benefit from the "me too" movement: Herself. She lacks empathy, but she likes to receive empathy. Right-wingers don't give a fuck about others. It's me, myself, I, and me too!

Thanks to global warming, our summers are long and hot. This year it was dry and extremely warm until October. It used to cool down and rain on my birthday, and I always wished it was warmer. Bloody hell, it was dry and warm for more than twenty days after my birthday this year!

000

It's raining. I'm not a meteorologist, but I believe that might be an effect of the El Niño. I'm not sure that's true. We usually have a good amount of rain in autumn, winter and even spring where we live. Some years are dry. Those are bad years.

It's "a well known fact" that sitting down to pee is good for the prostate. What working mechanism would make sitting down affect the prostate? How would you set up a peer-reviewed scientific study to test it? Citation needed. I call bullshit!

Shout-out to the person who recreated the Bohemian rhapsody lyrics, one tweet at a time. Back when Twitter was fun.

My niece wants to go to Scotland. She likes the cold.

Well, the planet is fucked. I'm not sure where a good place would be.

A shivering client might be worse. I dunno.

Last year, at least ten months ago, I fell off the stairs in a public theatre. No big deal. I was okay. Yesterday, a woman who has a conflict with my wife's group claimed that she had been hurt when I fell, but nobody had ever asked how she was. That was the first time she mentioned getting hurt.

I don't think that's enough. I think they should implement a one off wealth tax on all profits all the rich have made since 2016 from the tax cuts they received these last ten years. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, et fucking cetera.

If I'm not mistaken, they were talking about "free pussy" with an unconscious woman. Sounds like rape to me.

Why does he talk about sexual assault instead of rape?

There was a Dutch short film. A tennis instructor raped one of his clients. The justice system failure (or wasn't involved, I don't remember). One of her friends seduced the instructor and between all of them they took care of him. The punchline: New balls please. I don't want to give ideas…
