We're talking about both. Gender was traditionally identical to sex and this issue didn't come up much till relatively recently. Outliers, like people born with both sets of organs, were just that. To be consistent with this philosophy, race must also now be done as "whoever identifies as such". After all, it's just as much of a societal construct.

It is an answer. The legitimate things trump does wrong are drowned in the sea of biased reporting. Even now with the tariff talk. These false stories of companies skipping christmas bonuses and crying wolf. What happens when they really do put a tariff on something they shouldn't. That's going to be a blip and not be remembered. What if it does spur domestic manufacturing of something, won't be covered either. You end up in a situation where people just tune in or tune out based on their bias and end up completely uninformed at both ends.

Then we are certainly wired differently. I have no need to keep the "herd" going or to do what others demand beyond the practical. There is probably a collectivist vs individualist argument here too and the voluntary and involuntary aspects of cooperation herein.

I saw it reported both ways. The outrage way, where "OMG, the stupid government is wasting food" and at first the recall way, where you must return the butter because it will kill you and there is something wrong with it. There shouldn't be a recall at all, just an announcement that the butter wasn't labeled properly for people allergic to milk products.

Yea, but sex isn't. And the way it's done now is that gender is invoked as identical to sex when it's beneficial and rebuked when it's not.

It's an edge case. Does a government form determine reality? They can put down one, both, none.

They can announce it and that should be enough. Instead they make the butter sound like it has something wrong with it so people turn it in.

There you go assuming everyone is a progressive again. Reality has a "liberal" bias when you surround yourself in an echo chamber.

Literally what worked and what didn't. Everything is tainted with putler orange man bad. His coverage is 98% negative. The people dissecting him have an axe to grind and are hard to take seriously.
