Does Joanne have any other opinions? She's literally a single issue tweeter. Being transphobic is now her entire personality.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 11 months ago

Well, she's racist and intersexist too, and probably practices other forms of bigotry as a side hobby.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.cafe 8 points 11 months ago

She’s incredibly ableist. Wrote an entire book mocking chronically ill people and calling them abusive and lazy.

What is a teste if not faulty egg-producing equipment?

Also: behold, a woman.

If my daughter was born on my homestead where I raise chickens for egg production and have egg production equipment like egg incubators, does that make my daughter a woman? Because honestly, it seems really weird that someone wants to call a little girl who is in elementary school a woman.

Almost as weird as hiring a minor to be a massage therapist and then complaining that their best friend of over 10 years (who is later revealed to be a prolific pedophile who raped over 1000 children) stole them.

sex reassignment surgery is really that easy nowadays, huh?

Even after all these years we are still not safe from Diogenes.

Who’s going to tell her about Ovesticular Syndrome.

Technically...

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

One interesting phenomenon is native English speakers thinking their words are universal. In French, the "egg" produced by this "equipment", the ovary, is called an ovule. It does mean egg, but before fertilization. So even if a female egg cell is technically an egg, people don't call them eggs (œufs), they call them ovules. And we have much less stupid people making this kind of associations. Some languages have distinctions making it more difficult for people with no scientific background to just think they can connect some dots together.

So merely saying "an egg" isn't un oeuf.

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It depends on the context. If you say "un œuf", nobody will think about an ovule, unless you're a scientist. Humans, monkeys, sheep, cows, raccoons; they make ovules and once it's fertilized, it becomes an embryo. AFAIK.

Birds and reptiles make œufs. A platypus makes œufs. Women make ovules. Nobody ever heard in French that les femmes font des œufs.

[–] skye@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

but then in french what changes is you say "a woman is someone who makes ovules" and then someone replies with a photo of a cow/sheep/monkey and say "this is a woman"

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

I think that the person you're replying to was making a joke. "Un œuf" sounds a bit like "enough"
