    EDIT: Also, yes, I know some of the phrasing in the post could be improved, but vBulletin doesn't let you edit unapproved posts and I fear getting it re-unapproved if I edit once it is visible.
    No worries. You got your point across.
    It's sad there are still people who, in XXI century and widespread access to knowledge, still think the world is black & white and discrete.

    Don't you think there is a pretty big middle ground between the gender ideology and the Catholic Church of Poland? I'm sorry but no, there is absolutely nothing normal about telling kids that a boy becomes a girl by saying so, or that some women have you know what, or that there is some nebulous "gender" separate from chromosomes, or that kids should choose their own pronouns. That IS total BS, and an anti-scientific and anti-linguistic one at that. Now I don't wish any harm to those people. For all I care some men can happily live under the delusion that they are women just like some others believe that they are Jesus Christ. They have that right. What they don't have is a right to compel others to pledge allegiance to their ideology and to demand that society constantly affirms their self proclaimed normality.
    Give Neuro-biology of trans-sexuality : Prof. Robert Sapolsky a watch. (If that upload ever goes away, it's an excerpt of 15. Human Sexual Behavior I from Stanford University's YouTube channel.)

    TL;DR: Like being gay, being trans is a physiological phenomenon, with externally measurable associated physical characteristics. In short, they both look to be glitches in how the developing fetus interprets the chromosomes while developing in the womb.

    ...and that's not even counting intersex conditions like Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, where you'll have a knock-out beautiful woman who goes to the doctor to figure out why she can't conceive and discovers that the reasons she looks so feminine is because she's technically genetically male, but her body isn't even capable of responding to the reduced amount of testosterone that's normal in a genetically female individual.

    Other examples of intersex conditions include things like having one ovary and one testicle, or two of the wrong kind of gonad for the rest of your body.

    Human development is a glitchy mess and it's unreasonable to demand that someone just grin and bear it when their identity instinct is mismatched with their body.

    I welcome the idea of telling kids, for a change, that there are different people in the world and that it is normal.

    Erm... I think you overestimate how many people don't think the OMGWTFBBQ+ activists are insane. If it were just to clarify who's actually what, it'd still be stupid but at least stupid with a good reason. Demanding others not just tolerate but celebrate your delusions though? Nah, we all know you're nuts. It's just most of us didn't care and were content to just let you be nuts. Right up until you kept on and kept on ratcheting up the absurdity. And then started forcibly and secretly indoctrinating our kids at school.

    Good man. There are absolutely aspects of that study that could and should have been done better. At least you're thinking critically about one side of the debate. Now if you could just spread that approach to more people.
    One side?

    I guess you didn't read my comment before I started our discussion, the one "defending" Tomazo and criticising Americans' relationship with language. I understand, it took a while to be approved, I did afterall use a "spicy" German term that I've no doubt is filtered.

    What makes you think I don't assess critically every research or study I read, only _some_?



    Although it surely makes everything easier, life isn't so black and white; it isn't just because someone disagrees with you about one thing that they are equal to everyone who disagreed with you before.

    Same as when I said I was neutral towards the subject and you tried to find reasons and paint me as progressive or leftist. You are trained to do so, to justify a biased grouping of people into neat categories that you can hand-wave away opinions, criticisms etc.

    That is the American way nowadays.

Earlier in the war, when the armies were still getting enough food, some soldiers would return to their units after they had provided for their families, but by the end of the war that wasn't a viable option anymore.
    [ Why was it a choice to consider for the volunteers being within the Confederate's army?
    The farmers could have done farming and life within a 'Union States' society&laws as well, from my POV.
    'Although exact records are unavailable, estimates of the percentage of Confederate Army soldiers who were drafted are about double the 6 percent of Union Army soldiers who were drafted.'
    'In December 1863, it abolished the previous practice of allowing a rich drafted man to hire a substitute to take his place in the ranks. Substitution had also been practiced in the United States, leading to similar resentment from the lower classes.'

    Average life expectancy during Civil War time for citizens was about 40 (China ~1950s) or post-childhood about 61-64 years.
    'the Conscription Act,which made all able bodied white men between the ages of 18 and 35 liable for a three-year term of service in the Provisional Army.'
    'In February 1864, the age limits were extended to between 17 and 50.'
    '[etc.] and a distrust of the power wielded by the slave-holding class. Many of their soldiers deserted, returned home, and formed a military force that fought off Regular Army units trying to capture and punish them.'
    (thx) ]

    You are the one who waves away slavery in pre-independence America as being something the colonies could do nothing about because the British Empire made the rules. If you are going to do that, you need to explain why America didn't abolish slavery when it separated from the British Empire (be that in 1776, 1781, or 1783). Why wasn't the legality of slavery one of the colonies' grievances with the Crown? Other British colonies began passing laws abolishing slavery as early as 1793 and the British Empire did it empire-wide (mostly, India being the big exception) in 1833. Did the United States not know what slavery was until they gained independence, and then it took them nearly 90 years to figure out that it was a monstrous practice?


    Regardless of whether they owned slaves, they were fighting, dying, and killing to preserve the evil institution of slavery. You don't get to count them among those who gave the last full measure of devotion to the cause of Liberty and the proposition that all men are created equal.
    Industrialization is what tended to end slavery, nothing else.

    Confederates were also both Americans and human beings. And the overwhelming majority of them were not slave owners. Interesting to know you're the type who buys into dehumanizing rhetoric, you would have made a great slave owner with morals like that.
