It could very well be higher than I wrote as there is evidence of it being underdiagnosed. I just do not see why chromosomes are pertinent to discussing gender identity when I think the point is that anyone should be able to self determine whatever they want to identify as.

I do not need anything akin to religious holyness as a basis for respecting human life. I do not want to kill them, not because their life is sacred, but because I consider myself to be a decent human being.

Some of these people are also very much sick in a medical sense. Some are unfortunately the victims of former abuse. It does not matter what you think they deserve. If you want to be a good person you should help them (as in prison with therapy), because they clearly need it and you should be someone helping people in need.

EDIT: Just as I do not believe in religion, I also do not believe in monsters.

You know you fucked up somewhere as a society when killing people is considered humane.

Thought so as well. In which case I do not really see much difference between this and other translation layers.

IIRC the translation overhead is usually negligible and sometimes results in better performance due to Vulkan being very performant.

Did not mean to make an assumption about you, merely say that the culture war waged by reactionaries is foreign to me.

Okay, I see. I am not from the US, which might be guessed from my misspelling of "necessary" above. I am sorry you have to deal with those people, but for what it is worth they are not so abundant here (in my experience at least).

Klinefelter syndrome with XXY is the most common of the non-standard combinations, but only account for about 1/1000 of male births. Combinatorics of sex chromosome aneuploidies such as XXX, XXY, XXXY and so on does only give a finite number of combinations.

I do not really see why this argument is brought up so often. Is it neccesary to speak of chromosmes to validate gender identity?

I often get subjected to some weird non-euclidean geometry that makes me dizzy. Of course I usually get dizzy from being sick, but my imagination makes my dreams really weird to explain why.

I would recommend miniflux a "minimalist and opinionated feed reader". It is great on mobile and desktop and dead simple to set up and use.

I think the ethical part may have to do with the following from Wikipedia on commerce:

The diversity in the distribution of natural resources, differences of human needs and wants, and division of labour along with comparative advantage are the principal factors that give rise to commercial exchanges.

I do not see how the commercial part is necessary for the distribution of goods though and recognize it as the main culprit in making such a system unethical. I.e., supplying needs is good and necessary, however a commercial platform is not.

But the absence of classes and states surely is the same as the dictatorship of the proletariat /s
