    Misleading stat. The number of people who died in car crashes is far higher than wingsuit accidents but the latter is inherently riskier than the former.

  • When you disagree with “gender is a social construct” in a casual setting, intentionally or not, you’re conveying the statement “gender is innately tied to biological sex, there are precisely two, and trans people are invalid”.

    Wild to see such a binary view on this given the context. How can this be taken to be any less constraining (to someonen who views gender as a spectrum) than the view that “there are only two biological genders”?

    Dandelion is giving examples on how it is not necessarily a social construct and providing examples and sources. That portions of gender have a propensity to be tied to biological sex.

    Tbh your advice was pretty typical
