Oh, the irony of a scientist completely ignoring genetic and biological facts.

All I know is that this will definitely help his credibility when he insists that we should all listen to him on global warming.

Nye couldnt even figure out the ideal gas law during deflategate. Then he tells a famous physicist he shouldnt be allowed to speak because he doesnt toe the line on global warming.

Lol what a retard.

I mean FFS, look at Salon trashing Bernie Sanders for wanting to get White votes.

Bye bye, Bernie: He’s not fit to captain the Democratic ship if he can’t stop chasing the great white male

That video was horrid. That song wasn't even good. The chorus blew donkey shit. But I guess if they want to blow donkeys, that's part of their sexuality?

"Oh, the irony of a scientist completely ignoring genetic and biological facts."

While the delivery of the message was absolutely awful, there is absolutely no scientific evidence disputing the actual idea beneath. It's ok to admit that you're attracted to dudes, mt. The only shame you should feel is that you are ashamed of it.

Pretty sure the song wasn't about accepting the gays, hood, but that a biological female can be viewed as a male if she wants and we should accept it as a form of evolution.

"that a biological female can be viewed as a male if she wants and we should accept it as a form of evolution"

I mean, the song was hyperbolic and in your face. The evolution they referred to wasn't biological evolution, but evolution in the sense that all things change. And there isn't anything inherently wrong with a woman who wants to be a man or feels like she (or he?) is masculine. There just isn't anything wrong with that. Seriously, why do you care what this person does? It just doesn't fucking matter in the slightest.

Ignore the terrible presentation of the video and how not-cool-but-trying-so-hard vibe it gave off. All it's saying is "why do you care? things change, it's natural. let people be." And there is nothing inherently wrong with that message.


If you want to rail on this branch of stupidity, look at Aeros' tangential link. That shit is just plain objectionable.

What the song is about is accepting base sexual perversions as worthy of respect and acceptance. Not only that, but to also buy into the push for societal change to normalize the individual sexual desires of everyone at the expense of traditional imperatives like family, culture and responsibility.

The entire premise behind this "song" is abhorrent. Glorification of the worst animal instincts inherent to the human creature. I want no part in the "evolution" pushed by this show.

If anything, it makes me wonder if disbanding the Inquisition was a mistake.

"at the expense of traditional imperatives like family, culture and responsibility."

The fuck is this? It's just sexuality. Get your panties unbunched, sack the fuck up, and get over it.

"What the song is about is accepting base sexual perversions as worthy of respect and acceptance"

Perversions in whose eyes? The church? Fuck off. The puritans? Fuck off even more. As I said above, it's just fucking sex. There's nothing more wrong (or wrong in general) about liking being tied up and spanked vs. grunting offensively in the missionary position. There's nothing wrong with feeling that you fall outside of your genome in terms of gender stereotypes. It isn't an attack on family no matter how hard you try to interpret it that way.

No one here is calling for Trannys to get lynched. We are all, with the exception of you hood, laughing at the absurdity of a scientist who wants us all to pretend that genetic and biological differences between genders are not worth acknowledging.

And to take it a step further, there is some inherently wrong with someone of either gender willing to pump their body full of chemicals and undergo surgery because their brain tells them they are in the wrong body. That is clearly a psychological disorder that we are currently too polite to respond too.

If you are willing to deny that then where is the line drawn for mental disorders? If it doesn't hurt anybody why should be treat people who have conversations with people who only exist in their head? It really is this willing blindness borne over the past decade or so that also includes the whole "safe space" mentality now infesting college campuses.

Well not anymore. How long ago was it that people here openly advocated for straight up killing or "fixing" gay people? Not too many years ago.

"We are all, with the exception of you hood, laughing at the absurdity of a scientist who wants us all to pretend that genetic and biological differences between genders are not worth acknowledging."

Oh I'm laughing at how absurd the video was. However, you still haven't seemed to grasp the actual message. It isn't about acknowledging that there are biological differences, it's about saying there is nothing wrong with expressing your sexuality.

"And to take it a step further, there is some inherently wrong with someone of either gender willing to pump their body full of chemicals and undergo surgery because their brain tells them they are in the wrong body."

Um, you do realize that there have been brain studies demonstrating a pretty clear difference in cognition between straight and gay people along the lines of gender expression, right? Masculine gay men have brains that basically look like a male brain. Feminine gay men have brains that look like a female brain. So why are you so willing to accept biology in one instance, but callously disregard it when it disproves you so fully?

"That is clearly a psychological disorder that we are currently too polite to respond too."

There is no scientific evidence pointing to this being a psychological disorder. If you're going to harp on science, please be consistent. Science says that xy is not the same as xx, but it also says that you are completely wrong on all other arguments here.

"It really is this willing blindness borne over the past decade or so that also includes the whole "safe space" mentality now infesting college campuses."

The implementation of that message from this video certainly is of the safe space mentality. Simply acknowledging that some people are just weird and different is not safe space mentality. There's nothing wrong with being weird and different.

"If it doesn't hurt anybody why should be treat people who have conversations with people who only exist in their head?"

I mean, if people are fully functional and not harmful, we absolutely allow this. There was even a halfway decent movie about this starring Russell Crowe. Guy got on just fine once his condition was made fully aware to him.

Just another example of how crazy humans get when they have no real problems.

Bring on a true plague or famine and no one will be worried about their sexual identity anymore.
