   This is simply a distraction squirrel, introduced so that we waste our time in respectful, rational, compromise-filled debate, while our opponents set fire to our shoelaces, and gradually work their way upwards.

   It is designed so that there will be no outcome. Regardless of the quantity or quality of input, nothing we do will placate or win-over the parents of the distraction squirrel.

   I haven’t been watching the most anticipated Olympic Games since whenever, and I have quarantined myself from most of the News-CoV-2 sources of infection, so I must ask, “What is that?”

   Nor I, but I think it’s a mixed male/female relay.

   Yes…well, long before we got to this point biological roles – mother, father – had to be deemed a sociological construct.

   Now their irrationality is coming home to bite them.

   It won’t last; it was always going to be a bridge that could’nt bear the weight of the ideological freight they wanted to carry over it.

   Indeed. And you can see that the attack of sex roles (mother/father) could not be limited to the roles themselves and would eventually devolve to the category ‘sex’. The same was true with gender (masculinity/femininity).

   You cannot avoid the biological facts, two X chromosomes result in a completely different human body to one X and one Y. Denying this fact is so far out there it is not even in a neighbouring galaxy.
