    I have literally no way of determining if a person is female outside a hospital setting. But there are certain characteristics that people can adopt to signify themselves as women.

    So, asking how I’d refer to a group of female humans is kind of a false question outside a niche situation, or unless I’m a doctor…

    But, all this is avoided by just saying “women”. Or, in the provided example, just saying “dog”, or placing “husky” after “female”.



  • The Fediverse is undeniably very left leaning currently, which is surprising to me since you’d think the anti-censorship design on paper would appeal more to people on the right who are against big tech and censorship, but I guess not? It’s interesting.

    What a baffling take. I’m stunned that you managed to describe the exact opposite of reality. The left are against centralisation of power, especially in corporations… It’s so absurd to suggest the left are fans of big tech. It’s even more absurd to suggest the right are not. The right wing supports capitalism, and corporate monopoly is pretty much the goal of any capitalist business.

    Also, censorship is utterly irrelevant to this discussion… apart from, i guess, social media execs having the power to silence people who hate them. Which are… most likely to be leftists…

    Such a weird comment. I’m shook.
