My friend said, "I believe in only two genders. Should I be cancelled?"

I was like, I think you mean sexes. But you know there are others like those that are born with both right?

"Yes but they're anomalies"

"But you know there are more than two sexes."

"Yes they're a minority, what's wrong with my statement?"

"..."

I kind of left it at that, it was like 3am and I needed sleep.

When your understanding doesn't account for verifiable phenomenon, your understanding is incomplete. Science progresses by accepting this truth and seeking to complete our understanding, but it is not how we are primed to think. We cling desperately to flawed understandings because letting go of them requires a ton of mental adjustment. They'd need to change so much of how they're wired to understand the social world, so unless they have the motivation, they simply won't do it.

"The Jews were a minority in 1945 Germany". Make them explain how it's different or be an open holocaust denier, win win.

Obviously minority lives don’t matter, that’s why I only believe in one race, white people.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

There are only two races. Han and Bhil.

The existence of gender fluid implies the existence of gender gas, gender solid, and gender plasma.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 23 points 2 months ago

And Gender Bose-Einstein Concentrate and, as I learned in this thread, Gender Metallic Hydrogen

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 months ago

That's still pretty basic biology tho. And gender is sociology anyway.

Advanced biology is stuff like plants having more complex genetics than humans.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Hah, plants... putting their sexes in vases. Bunch of weirdos.

Aren’t there like 20-something states of matter?

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago

Matter is a social construct.

[-] De_Narm@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

There's only liquid, solid and gas. Plasma, if you're daring. The others are mental illnesses!

Idk. Out of my head I only know 6.

I stopped counting after I learned about metallic hydrogen

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

What? That's wild.

[-] femtek 2 points 2 months ago

Ahh, learn something new every day!

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well that's going to upset the astronomers calling everything but Hydrogen and Helium metals.

[-] MossWitch@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I wish everyone was as nonchalant about gender as not-my-genderinos guy.

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

To be fair, those same people also eschew advanced math, physics, and science of any kind.

[-] neox_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I would say that a mathematician would rather write i²=-1 than sqrt(-1)=i
