You mean a common user experience that leaves many new users frustrated.

They’re all hoping for Fortnite sort of longevity as a live service game.

What killed Apex for me was rampant cheating and a toxic player base. I have no idea what killed it for others.

being able to change the body with HRT.

Artificial changes to a body are just that, artificial.

Inserting an rfid chip under my skin doesn’t make me a credit card. Taking some hormones doesn’t make you female.

This incessant boundary shifting and virtue signalling that everyone must play along with the artificial and pretend it is reality will never see broad public acceptance.

Changing gender is real, changing sex is not and you could go ahead and provide a definition of sex that is holistic and entirely changeable with current technology if you disagree.

If you think you were right, which part of biology is the sex identifier? You haven’t answered that.

I have already very clearly articulated my answer to this. Go back up a couple of comments and read it again if you need to.

though I would argue it potentially changes your sex

Then you are arguing against the prevailing medical and scientific opinions, gender affirming care can assist with aligning secondary sex characteristics but does not change the patients sex.

It has long been an argument of the trans community that gender and sex are different, which Im not disputing at all but you are trying to make unclear.

Feminizing hormone therapy is used to make physical changes in the body that are caused by female hormones during puberty. Those changes are called secondary sex characteristics.

For your convenience you can check the difference between primary and secondary sex characteristics here:

HRT is gender affirming care and is not a ‘sex change’ which is outdated and offensive.

It’s odd that you’re trying to ‘debunk’ what you see as a bigoted term and you’ve come full circle to something even worse.

You should look up the difference between sex and gender before you continue arguing down this route.

If you can’t pinpoint a single specific one

So my answer must be simple, when discussing a complex topic, but you will circle back to claims of complexity to dismiss anything I say.

That is hardly a good faith response.

I would say it is the sum of biological processes that result in the expected sexual dimorphism observed within the majority of the population, resulting in biologically male or female traits.

If their hormones are such that they are growing in the manner you’d expect for a male or female then they are biologically that sex

Show me a research paper that makes this claim. It is called gender affirming care and not sex affirming care for a reason.

AFAB/AMAB is for the original status.

You’re literally splitting hairs when the phrases mean the same thing.

“Biological male” is a scientifically misleading phrase

The phrase seems to be very clear in meaning, could you tell me what you find misleading about it?

If that’s the case, then aren’t they *biologically* women?

Biologically male or female would be more correct as gender is a social construct. Also the term is referring to their original status pre-hormonal or other gender affirming care so no.

that you probably failed

Sorry to disappoint you but I have never failed a subject and have completed higher education.

”basic biology”

You’re the only person here who has used that term.

Reality disagrees with you lol

The framing being a fact check on a GOP claim, that a Dem is now being disparaged for including in their ad, that dispells the misinformation.

Lefties hurting themselves in their confusion is just classic.

and the inclusion of a fact check stating it is “false” that Sherrod Brown “voted to let transgender biological men participate in women’s sports.”

It was relevant to the ad to clarify the politicians voting record and counter misinformation being spread by their opponent.

This is very simple and I’m concerned that so many are completely incapable of

1. Reading the article and
2. Comprehending it
3. Understanding that this ‘narrative’ line is targetting the Dem ad but it was from the GOP misinformation.

This language reinforces the narrative that transgender women are “biological men,”

What narrative? This is mostly true, and only untrue in cases of transgender women who are intersex AFAIK.

There is a whole universe of resources and our needs for them will never be fully satisfied. Every step towards cleaner, more sustainable energy is a good one.

The problem is that it isn’t an alternative, it is an additional and it does not benefit users in any way.

It’s just another source of telemetry for advertisers and won’t stop any of the existing methods of tracking.

Mozilla have made a series of unpopular choices, especially their enabling of telemetry for advertisers that does nothing to benefit users.

It is no surprise some people are vocally unhappy.

Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.

Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.

YouTube has a monopoly and it’s no surprise people are frustrated, especially those who aren’t tech aware enough to continue blocking ads.
