I mean on one hand a lot of those categories are useful for people who are confused about their gender identity.

On the other hand so many more people are gonna change their Facebook genders for shits and giggles without having any idea what the thing they changed it to means.

No matter what Stephen does here (and I think he's doing a good job of not stepping on toes), he's going to be unloaded upon by Tumblr SJWs. Apparently he and Jon are already personas non gratas in that community.

I think he's being incredibly fair in this interview, but I'm sure he's used the word "tranny" before and this therefore dooms him to the poo poo list

I hate that word used in the SJW context because it's extremely vague and euphemistic.
As weird as that word sounds, I like it better as a gender-neutral pronoun than "they/them/their." The grammar cop in me shudders.

Maybe I am not fully aware of things, but my understanding is that not wanting to follow traditional gender roles doesn't need a special label because those are complete and utter bullshit. When its people legit not comfortable in their own body, that makes sense to have a category that is specific, but having so many, seems like they are trying to make one transgendered person is more special than another.

I listened to a pretty neat NPR segment that talked about how individual people actually experience time differently, even at the extremely sub-light speeds that are normal on Earth. If two people syncronize their watches, one goes on a cross-continental flight, and then they re-check their watches, the guy who flew's watch will probably be slower, even if it's just by a matter of seconds.

Some few people use one to mean a transitioning woman and one to mean a transitioned one, and the star folds in all the nonbinary variants.

But like, most, say transwomen, will just list female because that's what they are.

I loved the interview with Brian Greene, Colbert dropped most of his shtick (partly because there was no political spin behind it to be added to it) and you could tell he really got caught up in Greene's energy. Those are the best interviews, when Stephen doesn't have to carry the whole thing.

I really didn't expect someone to use a term like problematic in an actual, professional context.

And if deciding someone's gender for them is bad, why is deciding they don't have one yet okay?

Man, as a white male, I'm glad we are losing power, because gently caress white men.

Seriously. Not just for the random loving murders of black people (THAT THEY DON'T GET loving CONVICTED OF-- GUILTY OF ATTEMPTED MURDER x4 BUT NOT OF THE ONE ACTUAL KILLING?! HOW THE gently caress DOES THAT MAKE *ANY* SENSE WHATSOEVER?!) but for the Republicans and every single thing they do. The Tennessee idiots at that factory weren't liberals turning down UAW representation narrowly (the vote was, like, 650-550, I think), but Republicans listening to a loving liar tell them exactly the opposite of what their company (which has a better history of human rights since the end of WWII than conservatives in America have) did? Of course. It makes perfect sense.

Yeah my state kinda blows.

For the record, the murder charge in the Dunn trial was first degree murder, and it's possible the jury got hung up on whether the murder was premeditated or not, premeditation being a required component in a first degree murder conviction. If Dunn was charged with second degree or manslaughter they probably would have convicted him (hell, it follows that if he was convicted for attempted second degree murder of the guys that lived, he should at least be guilty of successful second degree murder of the guy that died).

There's a story about how the engineers didn't believe the physicists about the changes in time, so at first they didn't bother correcting for the effects relativity. The GPS coordinates got wildly off in a matter of hours.

The thing is, its a law that was created pretty much for terrified white guys with more guns than sense. Shooting someone should be a absolutely last thing you do, when there is no way out and its kill or be killed, and the law already allowed for that. SYG came in so angry scared racists could have some recourse when they see a scary looking black guy (read; all) coming down the street and they start firing.

And they should have charged him with Second Degree Murder. First Degree was going to be a hard sell in Jackshitville, FL when the case at hand involves an old white shithead murdering black kids listening to "urban" music and that should have been very apparent. I mean my gosh I bet they were even wearing hoodies!

How in the everloving poo poo it doesn't fall under the felony-murder rule now that he's been convicted of 3 felonies that resulted in a death is beyond me though. Or maybe that's how they're going to try him again, I haven't paid enough attention.

He'll get re-tried and he'll probably be proven guilty.
