>It's not FOR YOU.

Oh I see, it's for the 0.01% who are trans?

Nah who are you kidding? It's for the vast majority of lefties who aren't 100% SJW. It's another purity test, another false dichotomy where you either uncritically accept all the garbage they throw at you, or you're a nazi.

Here's a brain teaser for you:

If the grand "scientific" part of the argument is that because it exists, it's natural; because there's nothing wrong with wanting to be another gender, it's ok to use surgery and hormones to be what you want, how come we don't chop the limbs off people who want to be handicapped?

Think about it. Kids are born with genetic malfunctions that cause them to be limbless. This is exactly how they want you to believe the existence of genetic chromosomal mutations means there's no such thing as gender. So it must also be true you're not "supposed" to have four functioning limbs.

If someone is "transabled", it's not just a mental illness problem, because "homosexuality used to be too, and transgenderism used to be too".

Why shouldn't you be allowed some simple procedures to cut your own legs off if you identify as wheelchair bound?

The distinction between gender and sex is the distinction between socially and culturally created roles on the one side (gender) and the biological categories of male/female on the other side (sex). Gender is a constructed series of roles probably growing out of how the different sexes needed to act in a tribal setting. Given that in a hunter-gatherer tribe a female often has a baby on her hip to feed it and therefor cannot really hunt, she is typically given the role of gathering food and herbs for the tribe. There are other more specific examples of the way females and males must live differently in such tribes, due to their physiological differences and the fact that females are the ones that must give birth. Gender roles, such as they are, likely sprang from this natural, near-animalistic system. I say male and female, because gender is not really something these tribes exhibit.Gender exists in the same way money exists. It's a very useful humanwide fabrication for large societies, an abstraction of something culturally important- with money, it is trade value. With gender, it is one's societal role.
I would think the current explosion of gender expression in the west as equally "valid" as whatever cultural or societal shift led to, say, the two-spirits of the hopi, or the hijra of pakistan. There are other examples of societies that remove themselves from the rigid gender dichotomy that most hold to, for one reason or another. Often third-genders become a class of people that deal with a specific role or job. There are other ways of dealing with that societal need, of course, this is just one adaptation of many possible. But it is one. This specific explosion if I had to guess is a response to loosening of the "gender role", meaning that gender doesn't actually MEAN much anymore. Less rigidity.I haven't really read enough of the relevant literature to speak on the subject of transgender folk specifically.

Gender is tied to sex and vice versa. You would think that after generations of a specific task being gender specific, it would lead to the promotion of genetic traits in the same sex. Like males being give the hunter roles which lead to males that are stronger and faster being ideal mates and those traits being passed to their offspring. To completely separate is about as idiotic as it is ignorant.

Just so we are clear, in 2017, we have split sex into sex (biological), gender (social) and sexuality (attraction). It is fucking insane. The worst part is goys like Bill using these terms interchangeably. They are not.

>>82058880

Gender is a grammatical term appropriated to replace "sex" when that word became commonly associated with copulation.

Bill Nye used the term "sex". He in a sense invalidates your newer appropriation of the term (that is used to describe what we previously held to be a sexual fetish) and reverts it to it's early 20th century form.

Which is ironically argued against by "SJW's" (who prefer your recent interpretation) because the manner in which Nye used it is so ridiculous and anti-science that it leaves the concept open to ridicule and scorn.

US taxpayers still pay for public healthcare in the form of things like ERs, and because people wait until the problems are at their most critical state we end up actually spending as much per person for health care with taxes as do other nations that have an entirely public healthcare system. And on top of that, the average person in the US still pays towards their own private healthcare plan, at a much higher rate than most countries with public systems pay with their taxes alone. In the US we absolutely pay more and get less than many, many other countries. Not that their aren't other factors, but the only reason anybody would believe that our system is better than switzerland's is because they have an ideological belief that privatized industries are necessarily better than public ones, and aren't willing to acknowledge that there are places where things are factually better.

Yeah, but Nye said SEX is a spectrum, not gender.

I can see the argument for gender, which is whether you like girl or boy things, and that's always had names; tomboys and sissies, and the various shades of that

But sex itself, is solid. There's no spectrum here. You're male or female (or super rare deformed).

What's the actual endgame here? Letting them use whatever bathroom they want? Fuck it, let them, public toilets are gross anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole "social construct" argument seems to imply men and women are separated by society based on their biology, which isn't right, and we should instead put everyone on an equal footing, allowing them to identify as whatever they would like to. That's all well and good, only it's going to fuck them over in the end when biological women can't compete in things like sports and any affirmative action is wiped clean.

>>
>>82059421
something to bear in mind:
the idea that sex is a spectrum stems from the idea that gender is a social construct. those two ideas need to co-exist in order to work.

take for example, someone who might be attracted to a person who looks and identifies as a petite woman but has a penis. you could argue that they're more straight than a person who is attracted to a person who looks and identifies as a large man but with a vagina.

Sex and sexuality in this case, isn't just binary aka a spectrum.

2. Start saying Gender is different from sex and means X.

3. Now start refering to Sex as X too and because of part 1, maybe people will buy it.

>>82059300
Yes you can. The science and practice of exploitation of commodities that have an inelasticity of demand has developed quite a bit over the last seventy years, there's no way it would look the same now even if the government had never gotten involved. Imagine a single pharmaceutical company had a patent on a drug that cures leukemia. Even if it were extremely cheap to produce, they could charge people with leukemia whatever they wanted, because people will pay any amount they can to stay alive. If you have a product who's demand doesn't fluctuate in relation to price, you can exploit that. It's one of many pretty basic flaws in pure free market systems that happen every day. It's simply not a perfect system. And I'm not saying socialism is perfect either, but I think to argue that literally everything should be motivated by profit is pretty demonstrably stupid. If you wan't to talk about things that can't be refuted, consider this.

The only way that insurance works is if there are more people paying into it than are getting paid out of it. There have to be more patrons than patients, or there is no funding. Right now there are millions of people that aren't paying into the pool right now, but when it comes to life threatening emergencies, they still take out of the money pool with trips to the ER. By eliminating insurance companies, and having literally everybody pay into the pool through taxation, we can increase the number of patrons without changing the amount of people getting sick. The math simply works. Not to mention, we can see it working in other countries.

By the way, your source counts the FDA as a bad thing. I'm not saying there are aspects of it that couldn't be made more efficient, but do you really agree that having no regulations on how companies that are motivated purely by profit goes about introducing new drugs to the public market?

Look at Lions, wolves, and all social apes like Chimps, Gorillas, and Bonobos. All have social constructs. HECK look at social insects like ants and bees. They have "queens" and "sisters." All roles are ingrained in the sexes of these animals. NONE OF THESE ANIMALS ARE AWARE OF GENDER/SEX!! Get that through your thick skull!! Animals have no concept of "culture." They practice gender rolls instinctively and biologically.

Humans are no exception as they are 99% Chimpanzee. Chimps have huge social roles based on genders. Yet none are aware of "culture."

Your entire argument is baseless. There is no evidence of what you speak. All evidence is in the DNA, chromosomes, and social animals. Especially the animals close to humans. Your argument is invalid.

All your beliefs are cultural marxism. As usual, you will ignore all evidence or try to minimize it as unimportant.

The United States. Gender referring literally to just the way people feel inside, any society in which people choose to make more distinctions than the traditional binary system is a society that has more than two genders. Don't conflate it with biological sex, honestly whoever decided to first refer to genders with the same words we already used to distinguish biological sexes needs to be punched in the mouth, because it causes people on both sides of the issue to merely talk past each other.

Sex is biological and cannot at this time be altered by how you feel inside. In this sense, the right is correct.

However, gender as it is used now describes a completely different thing, i.e. how you feel inside. So as stupid as it might get, there are legitimately infinite potential genders. In that sense the left is correct.

The problem is that somebody applied the words male and female to gender, and now everybody thinks of gender under those terms, which are completely inadequate to describe the actual idea it refers to.

That would be the human conscience. The same conscience that tells us that living by the laws of nature, laws of thermodynamics, and the laws of motion are healthy for us.

Human conscience tells us that gender-benders are sick in the head, evil, and must be avoided just as much as any other plague carrier. The same disgust you feel when you see a human covered in boils or a dog covered in parasites is the same we get from seeing homosexuals and trans of all kind. It is a protection for us to stay away from such disease. Homosexuality and trans is mental and moral disease. The laws of nature don't agree with them so that's why nature punishes us with feelings of shame which lead to their suicide. Suicide is not "society being oppressive." Suicide is NATURE BEING OPPRESSIVE. Not our problem nature considers them an error that must be erased.

Gender is not "how you feel inside". That's the whole problem with your retarded argument. Gender is 100% the same as biological sex.

>The problem is that somebody applied the words male and female to gender

Male and female are concepts integral to the concept of gender. Non-binary gender is a nonsensical concept which serves no purpose. If there are infinite genders, why do we even need to assign gender to anything?

Male and female have ALWAYS applied to gender, the definition of gender as "how you feel" has only even existed since feminist philosophers made it up in the 1970s.

>Prices are supposed to naturally come down in a free market.

See, this is how I know you're just arguing from an ideological standpoint.

In an actual free market there's nothing to prevent a monopoly. A monopoly breaks the supply demand curve. If you aren't smart enough to recognize that there are real exploitable flaws in that system from the get go then you aren't ready to even have this conversation. First, get rid of the notion that it's automatically correct just because it makes sense to you on a piece of paper. I want you to respond to this directly, because I know you're going to cherrypick if I don't put this in here. Do you recognize that there are ways in which a pure free market system can be exploited?

>lmao there are no patents in a free market
Fair enough, given that there are many different theoretical versions of a free market, I'll grant you that there are iterations that don't incorporate patents. That being said, I'm not convinced that getting rid of patenting altogether wouldn't have huge unforeseen consequences that you're not considering, but I haven't researched that so if you have thoughts on that already I'd be interested in hearing them.

>It's a horrible thing that has killed millions of people. Killed many more people through restricting medicine than it has saved through safety.

Pure speculation.

>and reputable doctors would only prescribe tested drugs

This is another ideological statement that has no real world evidence to back it up. It assumes that doctors, who are simply people who are again motivated by profit in this hypothetical, and it also assumes that people are informed enough to reliably pick ethical doctors, and that there would be crazy amounts of misinformation and manipulative marketing strategies. In an unregulated free market, there would be doctors prescribing heroin, which is something that ACTUALLY USED TO HAPPEN dummy.

Nature has its fair share of stupidity and error. The argument that homosexuality is "natural" is as valid as saying blindness, deafness, dwarfism and being born with a missing limb is natural. Those things happen in nature too. You're confusing natural with normal. Homosexuality and trans is a handicap. It is as "normal" as being born a blind or paraplegic

>>82060661
>>82060743
Do you guys know understand the concept of semantics? It doesn't seem that way, so let me explain it. Words are elastic in their definition. Many individual words have multiple definitions. The reason this argument isn't making sense to you is because you're not recognizing that people are using the word gender to refer to an idea that you don't define it as. So before we can continue the conversation, you have to understand that as long as you keep using the word gender to refer to biological sex, the confusion in the conversation comes from the fact that you're not adapting to a more current definition of the word. If it helps you understand the argument, just replace the word gender with any random word sounding thing you want, and define that word as "the way people feel about their sexual identity inside". Because that's the idea that people are using the word gender to describe now. This is what I mean by people talking past each other.
>>
>>82061075

>reply to your post
>you refer me back to the post I replied to

Fuck you. I know that you think "they've come to define two different things", that's exactly what was so wrong with your post.

They don't mean two different things. They are two different words for the same thing.

When you say "I am subverting my gender role by doing X", you are literally saying the same thing as, "I am doing X despite the fact that my sex hormones do not tell me to". Men are biologically programmed to become fathers and protectors, and women are biologically programmed to become mothers and nurturers. No amount of newspeak and mental gymnastics can deny these established facts.

To be clear, I will always defend the right of anybody in my society (which I believe is a free one) to subvert their gender role and live contrary to the way their sex hormones are telling them to. But you can't start insisting that the biological imperative and the social norm aren't integrally connected to one another, because they are. There are two societal gender roles because there are two biological genders, and that is all there will ever be.

Actually YES YES IT WAS
Read what actually happened instead of what they teach you in government run schools.

The year before Standard Oil was broken up, the free market got their marketshare down to like 63%. It was rapidly falling because there was so much competition.
Also standard oil were fucking heros that managed to dramatically lower the price of oil for the average working person. The economic productivity his firm created resulted in lower prices and higher wages.
He was never a monopoly. 85% market share isn't a monopoly.

>it was broken up by trustbusting leglislature

I'm not saying the FDA hasn't been responsible for a delay on a product that could've saved lives had it's distribution not been halted by the standards of the FDA, I'm saying that there is literally no way of knowing what lives may have been lost from the FDA NOT being there to prevent other harmful drugs from being distributed. Literally pure speculation.

>I know I would only use doctors that have been licences from reputable medical schools and only prescribe drugs that have been tested properly.

Whether or not this is true, it doesn't apply to other people. The problem with any sort of anarchic ideology is that it relies on everybody being as well informed and wise as the person that "knows" it would work for them. People are dumb, and it's not their fault they got that way, it's the genetics and their upbringing that are by and large to blame for people's stupidity. So the idea that the system we have in place shouldn't in some way help sort people's options so they aren't making retarded decisions they don't have the capacity to educate themselves on is selfish.

>Healthcare was much much cheaper in the 1950s and 1960s

And in countries with competent public health care, it's cheaper right now.

LOL!! It's not the barbie dolls that is a gender specific toy. It is how the toy is played. Boys turn barbies into guns and swords. Its when boys actually treat barbie as a doll is when it is being a little faggot.

They did the same experiment by making girls play with trucks since those are "boy toys." What happened? Left alone the girls just made "mommy trucks," "daddy trucks," and "baby trucks."

Left alone NORMAL children express their biological nature. Normal boys express their sex and gender instinctually. Anything outside this is as natural as blindness and dwarfism. On their own they are harmless but harmful to the species on a whole if not rejected.

This is no different how when male chimps turn sticks into weapons and tools while female chimps turn sticks into pretend babies.

KYS. Or are you pretending that guys that like girls, are biologically male but also make "mommy trucks" don't exist?
>>
>>82061867

Exactly. There you go.

In order to explain what makes any role in society a "gender role", you must by necessity make reference to biological sex, like you just did.

It's stupid to pretend that there is a distinction between the concepts of gender and sex, for precisely that reason.

When you wrote "being the breadwinner of the family", you're explicitly censored gender from the description, but as soon as you start explaining why it relates to gender in any way, you have to include words that describe biological sex because they are, by definition, the same thing.
>>
>>82061342
You are too stupid for this conversation. To get caught up on a simple semantic debate and being too stubborn to adapt to the conversation, or offer anything in the way of a compromise only verifies your stupidity. Disregarding the fact that when you literally look up the definition of the word gender it spells out that it's a distinct concept from biological sex, you're too stupid to even follow the ideas of the conversation beyond the superficial semantics that you're clinging to. So here, allow me.


gen·der
ˈjendər/Submit
noun
1.
the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
"traditional concepts of gender"
synonyms: sex
"variables included age, income, and gender"
2.
GRAMMAR
(in languages such as Latin, Greek, Russian, and German) each of the classes (typically masculine, feminine, common, neuter) of nouns and pronouns distinguished by the different inflections that they have and require in words syntactically associated with them. Grammatical gender is only very loosely associated with natural distinctions of sex.

Why would the laws of economics magically change depending on the era?

>but elaborate on this.
If a so called "monopolist" raises prices countless other firms will come in and take the market share of this company.
If a company lowers prices(past the point where it's profitable for them) to try and form of monopoly. First of all this is a good thing for consumers. Secondly they will go bankrupt because they would be losing money. There's a bunch of other examples but those are the simplest two.

>Because you don't recognize that as a legitimate flaw in the system
Historically it was never a problem. It was the market that broke up monopolies. Give me some examples.

>speculative to say that the FDA killed MORE people than would have dies from it's never existing at all
Nah it's pretty accurate. If these drugs were allowed to be tested in the marketplace, people's lives would have been saved. Thanks to the fda restricting access, these people died.

>and see who would've died from unregulated distribution of untested drugs
word gets around quick, if there was news that a certain drug killed someone, people would stop using it
also this shit wouldn't even happen because people would only use drugs that have been tested by 3rd party companies

>I'm saying that there is literally no way of knowing
Basic logic and historical data.
It's better if the FDA fucked off anyway. There would be massive innovation and low prices. That in and of itself is worth it.

>Whether or not this is true
Of course it is. I'm not an idiot.
Why would I willingly take a drug that hasn't been tested properly?

Nobody needs to have a degree in medicine to know which drugs to take. Again there would be third party testing agencies like U.L.

Gender and Sex have only come to "define" separate things because of this SJW movement. Prior to that, if someone looked at my drivers license and it said "sex: male" they would say "oh, he's a man." not "oh... do you identify as male, or 1 of the 50000000 made up shits we have floating around now?" It is simply a "cultural shift" of ideas. Making up little genders for yourself is great, but don't press it on the rest of us with actual intelligence enough to realize this IS a mental illness.

first anon you replied to in your second response here.

I'm aware of the current definition of "gender" that's not what I'm arguing here, so I understand what you're saying. In fact, I agree that there's an issue of semantics when it comes to either debate or discussion on this topic.

I'm presenting information that beg some questions: is the change in definition warranted? is it universal? does it over complicate a once seemingly simple concept?

like I said, before the 1950's gender was a utilization of sex for communication purposes. the whole aspect of "how you feel inside" just wasn't there. because of its connection, it followed the same rules as sex: you either are or aren't.

One thing is for certain about this change in definition: it's not a universal one. So I don't think it's fair to expect someone who goes by the traditional definition that's been universal for decades to keep up with one that's specific to an ideology.

No fucking shit. Biological sex helped shaped gender roles. Or did you assume I said gender is a social construct? I can be biologically male and still take on female gender roles. What does that make me? I still like girls. I still identify as a male. Biological sex is LINKED with gender roles, doesn't fucking mean they are the same thing you fucking moron. Being a breadwinner has been a male thing but those it mean every single breadwinner in the history of civilization was male? Are you a moron?

Go Google the definition for "literally" and realise why you're being a useful idiot.

It's not "superficial semantics", because trying to force a distinction which doesn't exist serves a specific agenda, namely that of the philosophies which dispute the necessity of gender roles in society. Personally, I don't make a habit of adopting newspeak peddled by people who don't believe that the words "mother" and "father" should mean different things.

If you don't believe what I'm saying, go do some research on who first coined the new definition of "gender", and what their reasoning was. They weren't motivated by the fight against the oppression and mistreatment of transsexuals, I can tell you that much.

Prove this assumption wrong. In the Animals Kingdom, especially apes. Sex is all that exist and this "gender identification" garbage doesn't. In Nature, the orientation also doesn't exist as well. If you are a male you are naturally attracted to females and vis versa. These animals all live in "societies" and "tribes." All of them have roles for males and females. Sex is so natural that the first thing gorillas are curious about when a new baby is born around them is if they are male or female. How do animals know this if "gender is a social construct?" This proves that only sex exist and it is purely biological. Gender is non-existent. This means that what's between your legs determines what you are and SHOULD identify yourself as. Why? Because NATURE demands it. If you are religious God demands it. If you're secular, NATURE demands it.

One way or another human life is PREDETERMINED either by God or Nature. By the time a human is born 90% of their life is predetermined. Their

>Sex
>Race
>Environment
>Parents
>Genetics
>Time era

Is all determined for you. You cannot identify as anything because what you WISH to be can never come true because it's already been determined for you. That is why it is meaningless to Identify as a "gender" because that's already been determined for you by nature. So choosing to live by nature's standards is the best way to live. Choosing to live by God's standards is the best way to live. Either way, your life is predetermined and you have laws to follow.>>82060536

None of that matters in the context of the conversation. The only thing I'm trying to clarify is that as it stands now the words sex and gender refer to two different things, and neither the right or the left seem to recognize them as being different, leading to both sides adopting stupid positions on the issue. Also, you're assuming I agree that males can be females simply by wishing it were so. I never said that. What I'm saying is that trans people are confused because they think their disalignment to traditional gender roles constitutes them legitimately being a different sex. And people that have an issue with people crossdressing or operating in society in a way that defies the traditional gender roles as they apply to biological sex are concerned about something that really doesn't matter that much because they seem to think that sex ought to define somebodies gender or that atypical expression of sexuality is somebody bad.

The preference of this roles is called gender. Males prefer football because their biological sex makes them bias towards it, that doesn't mean males that don't like football don't exist. This preference of less masculine activities is called gender. It doesn't mean the guy who prefers sewing is less of a male than the guy who is the quarterback.

At best it's a hybrid system, which I'm fine with. Health care is universal. All citizens are required to purchase it, and it's regulated by the government.

Biological sex doesn't "help shape" gender roles. It determines them.

Your role as a man will always be that of father and protector. If you raise a child you will always be its father, you can never be its mother. You can stay at home when it is hungry and rely on the intervention of others when it is being threatened with physical harm, but that doesn't make you a mother, it makes you a terrible father, and you will almost always hate that about yourself.

A woman can spend all day every day at work, earning money to support her unemployed husband and their children, but that doesn't make her the breadwinner of the family - that makes her an inattentive mother, and she will hate that about herself.

If you enjoy living in this society that forces both parents in middle-class families to work full time, encourages divorce and splits the custody of children so that they never really know how important gender roles are, I feel sorry for you.

The Swiss system really is the best of all possible worlds. They manage the perfect balance of keeping costs low while incentivizing treatment.

In socialized medicine, you have rationed treatment, which actually disincentivizes treating shit, and unsurprisingly leads to horrific wait times. My dad in Canada has been waiting more than a year for prostate/bladder surgery, which keeps him in constant pain, because it's just not life-threatening yet. And that's single-payer, which is still miles better than the nightmare in full socialized-medicine countries like the UK.

On the other side of the coin, in America, you get every cough and sneeze getting a CT scan and a round of expensive prescriptions, so costs are sky-high, meaning health insurance is fucking ridiculously priced and tens of millions of people can't afford it.

Definitions of words change and adapt over the time. The important thing is that when I or anybody use a word with a certain idea in mind, the idea is what's important, moreso than the word I use to label it. And because you aren't willing to adapt to emerging accepted definitions of words (which in this case is a definition that's been implemented almost certainly before you were even born), you're not going to be able to have a rational conversation on the ideas I'm trying to talk about.

None of what you're arguing for even matters in this context. What matters is that there are two ideas here, biology and personal expression of identity. I don't really care what words we use to talk about those two ideas, but at the moment those words are sex and gender, respectively. If you want to be stubborn and say that the latter idea simply doesn't exist, by all means, do so. But it will only keep you from contributing to the conversation.

not the animal kingdom guy, but let me make this point. Imagine it wasn't trans people, imagine it was even more obscure than that. Musicians. Imagine every musician wanted their own bathroom, to be able to get money from the government to pay for lessons, to not get kicked out of housing simply because they play music, and to have a pronoun just for them... maybe musm or musr. Now onto the topic of gender. It is simply a cultural shift. Definitions change all the time because of this fact. Many people still say fag in reference to a cigarette, so how to is it wrong to refer to gender as sex? Is it an old way of saying it? Maybe, but I personally think shrouding mental and social ineptness with new definitions of words, simply to make a point, is as stupid as a drummer needing his own bathroom. The animal kingdom thing is too very odd, will not lie. However, you still need to use your head and not jump on a lemmings wagon.

>The only thing I'm trying to clarify is that as it stands now the words sex and gender refer to two different things

According to you, and people who share your opinion. I dispute that they mean different things, because the difference is, in reality, meaningless.

Transsexuals aren't "disaligned to traditional gender roles" - a divorced single mother with a full-time job as a professional rugby player is "disaligned to traditional gender roles".

Transsexuals are medically deluded that their "inner self" (mind, soul, feelings, whatever you want to call it) belongs to the opposite gender from their body. They are convinced of a situation which isn't really possible according to the best information available to modern medicine. That is what is known as "gender dysphoria", and because of the dismissive, postmodern attitude our society has towards the significance of gender, it has become accepted medical practice to treat gender dysphoria as a permanent affliction and simply introduce huge levels of opposite sex hormones in an attempt to make the physical reality conform as closely as possible to the patient's fantasy. It's a recipe for mental anguish in every case.

Sex refers to the male/female binary nature of human sexual dimorphism, and so does gender. If gender is the more commonly used term when describing masculine and feminine abstracts, so be it, but you could just as easily use the word sex, because they are interchangeable.

>We have evolved past that point.

NO, we haven't. War, violence, domination, sex, reproduction, death. Rinse repeat. Have you ever wondered why humans can never learn from history and are doomed to repeat it? Ape nature. War never changes. The weapons change, the tech changes but war never changes.

>The preference of this roles is called gender. Males prefer football because their biological sex makes them bias towards it, that doesn't mean males that don't like football don't exist. This preference of less masculine activities is called gender. It doesn't mean the guy who prefers sewing is less of a male than the guy who is the quarterback. Society has evolved beyond the stage where every single male has to be me ooga booga me hunter

What you keep ignoring is not that a certain hobby is gender specific but on HOW that hobby is expressed. Sure males prefer football and also Wrestling. But why isn't it gay to watch large muscular men roll around with each other? Because of the context. Violence and competition. That is UNIVERSALLY MASCULINE and MALE.

Sewing is neither masculine nor feminine. It is a necessity. I sew, but the context of what I sew makes it masculine. I sew my business suites and my boxing gloves when I rip them. There is that same theme: competition and violence.

Remember that chimps turn sticks to weapons if male and babies if females. Yet they are a complex society so complex that Jane Goodall is still discovering new things about them to this day after an entire lifetime of study.

That's why it is meaningless to challenge "gender roles" because they end up going right back to biological sex and nature.

With the topic of personal identity, where does it end? For instance, I could say that I identify as a narwhal and are therefore trans-species. I don't like he or she, my preferred pronoun is thatmajesticmotherfucker and not saying it in reference to me hurts me and my identity. So, again, if we allow this loosening of the social construct of gender and self identity, where does it end?

The rules are actually quite simple, unlike the shitty american system with is overburdened with insane rules that only serve to benefit special interest groups.

>I would say that constitutes a hybrid system
It's a MOSTLY privatized system. It's a private system with a mandate and a few extra rules. Literally everything else in the system is privatized.

Socialized medicine is barbaric.

>Idk where you're getting the idea that the government isn't regulating the insurance companies at all
There's some regulation but it's quite small. These insurance companies have a lot of control over what they do.

Anyway it's funny that a private system is far superior to socialized medicine, thats all.
>>
>>82062582
Different things. Everybody, not just drivers, are required to buy into health insurance. Healthcare is universal, government mandated, and the insurance companies are regulated by government rules.

>>
>>82062711

The reason that your supposed distinction is entirely unnecessary is that there is no way to have a "personal expression of identity" that is divorced from the biological reality.

A man who believes he is a woman is just a mentally ill man. A man who believes he doesn't need to protect or provide for his wife and child is just a poor example of a man. Neither of them is "expressing their unique identity", that's postmodern nonsense and you either know it and are lying to yourself, or you'll realise it eventually.

You can't force me to believe that transsexual men aren't still men by changing the language. You can't force me to believe that stay-at-home dads aren't just being bad examples of fathers by changing the language. You can't force me to believe that working mums aren't just being bad examples of mothers by changing the language.

The biological sex and the role of the gender are tied, 1:1, and divergence from that easily observable reality produces predictable and harmful side-effects.

>>
>>82062810
I agree, there is a lot of confusion because people conflate the two ideas. It really doesn't help to say that the words sex and gender refer to the same thing though, they don't. There are other ways to address the issue of people believing that how they feel on the inside is enough to redefine their biological categories. And I do think it's dangerous the way the left is approaching this, because it does legitimize emerging ideas like transracialism and transageism. I'm not saying I'm in full support of every idea that the transgender movement is pushing. The only things I'm saying are that one, those two words refer to two different things, and two, people that choose to subvert traditional gender roles are not actually doing anything ethically wrong.
>>
>>82063232
Which has nothing to do with sex and gender being the same thing.
>>
>>82062986
Basically, sex is WHAT you are. Gender is HOW you express WHAT you are. Sex is the hand that points the gender bullet in a certain direction. That direction for the male and the universal masculine desire for expression is sex, violence and competition.

That is why I believe that ancient Roman and Greek Olympic sports were neither gay nor effiminate. Even if the players were all naked, gay men, with an audience of men. It was violence and competition.

That's why UFC, Wrestling, and Sumo is not gay nor effeminate to watch naked men roll around with each other: Because of violence and competition.

That's why competitions for girls is dog shows, beauty pageants, and wedding conventions.

Do girls do UFC, wrestling, and sports? Sure, but they are not taken as seriously as men. Look how many empty benches the WMBA has. Why? Because they are not as competitive nor violent as men. That's why there will never be a WNFL.

I think you're assuming I'm on the side of transexuality just because I'm arguing for the distinction between sex and gender. I'm not really though. I agree that it's probably not good that people on the far left seem to be taking the stance that we can recategorize our biology simply by willing it to be so, and yea, it definitely opens us up to things like transracialism and transagism, and you know, maybe way way way down the line transspeciesism. I just don't think people should be ridiculed or discriminated against because they choose to be extremely feminine despite being male sexed. And for that reason I think making the distinction between sex and gender is a worthwhile thing to do.

>>82063450
>It's universal healthcare
Stop using this term, it's fucking meaningless. Even in a free market with super low prices, everyone would essentially be covered and it would be "universal".

Yes. But that has nothing to do with gender.

>>82063363
Oh I agree and I am not one of them. Those are people on the left who conflate sex and gender and what to come with a thousand genders/sex. Those people are morons. I believe biological sex is male or female but gender exist on a spectrum that goes from Masculine to Feminine. It isn't even a sliding scale which can be easily defined. A guy can like 99% masculine activity and that 1% can be shit like cross-dressing as a female. Note that cross-dressing =/= being a trans. The cross dresser just enjoys being in female outfits but still identifies as male, probably still likes females. etc. I just believe that gender isn't 100% binary like sex is where is it either male or female and that enough people have a mix of gender activity,roles,norms perferences that we should seperate gender from sex. I 100% disagree with the morons that think gender is something like otherkin or other bullshit.

>In socialized medicine, you have rationed treatment, which actually disincentivizes treating shit, and unsurprisingly leads to horrific wait times. My dad in Canada has been waiting more than a year for prostate/bladder surgery, which keeps him in constant pain, because it's just not life-threatening yet

In the Canadian context you're misunderstanding the situation. It's not a rationing of care based on expense that leads to patient prioritisation but a lack of specialist resources necessitating triage priorities.

There aren't enough surgeons to plow through the low-priority queue. Aren't enough RN's to man the recovery ward floors. Aren't enough ER beds because there aren't enough family doctors to keep idiots from going to emerg for everything.

A free market doesn't make medical school easier to get in to and it doesn't create more senior physicians with the time/energy/inclination to train new doctors.

The real solution imo is a "top up" medical school that only exists to certify/qualify doctors from other parts of the world and get them practicing.

Because their system is already in some ways socialized. When you force everybody by law to pay into the insurance pool, I think that constitutes a partly socialized system. And I don't know if you're the same guy that started this conversation with me, but he was arguing that a pure free market system was the way to go, which is really the only thing I'm disputing. I think pure free market systems have exploitable flaws that need to be corrected, resulting in a hybrid system, very much like I would argue the swiss have right now.

>>82063306

>It really doesn't help to say that the words sex and gender refer to the same thing though, they don't

But they do. They refer to the male and female opposites found within the human species. Sure, gender is more commonly used in reference to abstracts, and sex more commonly in reference to biology, but there's no hard-and-fast rule to differentiate them.

There are two genders, because there are two sexes. These are determined by chromosomes, at birth. Some people are "intersex" because of genetic defects, and their issues are obviously complicated.

However, non-intersex people who deliberately behave unlike their gender normally does aren't changing gender, because they aren't changing sex. You cannot become a different gender from your biological sex.

You can behave in a way that isn't usually expected of someone of your gender, which is often known as "subverting gender norms" or similar, but that doesn't change which gender you belong to, nor does it change the biological programming that your gender gets from birth.

I don't think it's necessarily ethically wrong to subvert traditional gender roles, especially since a lot of the reasons people have for doing so are beyond their control - for example, it is an economic reality that most western mothers are forced to work in order to pay the costs associated with bringing up a healthy child, a situation which forces them to either be a less successful mother or never have time to take care of their own needs. That's an awful situation, one which would utterly appall the feminists who fought for universal suffrage and the rights of women.

However, the people who want to force this new definition of "gender" down your throat are the very same people who own the companies who force women to work as though they were men. That's where the ethical wrongdoing lies, with them, and that's why I'm not willing to swallow the new definition.
>>
>>82063596
>A free market doesn't make medical school easier to get in

You, just like a bunch of others in this thread, are applying assumptions beyond what I'm even saying. I didn't say I think biological males can become females through will power. In fact that's almost the opposite of what I'm saying. I'm saying that the problem on both sides of the issue is that people conflate the terms gender and sex because the words male and female were used to categorize both ideas. So the way the problem appears on the left is that, for example, males that want to operate in society as feminine think that because the feminine side of the gender spectrum is labeled as "female" that that also makes them female sexed, which isn't really true. But on the other side, the right seems largely ok with discrimination and bullying and even sometimes physically hurting people that operate in society on the opposite end of the gender spectrum from the sex they were born with. And that all the confusion surrounding this topic stems from somebody that decided to label the two polar opposite ends of the gender spectrum with the same words used to categorize the sexes; male and female.

>>
>>82063672
I'm sorry, but you're still just getting caught up by the semantics. Gender as it's defined not just by dictionaries but by the context of the conversation I'm having with you is a separate idea. Sure, there's a correlation between masculinity and femininity and the male and female sexes, but that doesn't constitute calling them the same thing. You're just not open to the idea that the word gender is being used to refer to the idea of a literal spectrum of categories. So again, I don't care what word you want to use to describe that idea, make one up if you want and I'll use it for the duration of the conversation, but when I, and most people at least somewhat aware of the broader conversation being had on the subject, use the word gender, we're referring to something that is untethered from the word sex. This is frustrating because it seems like you're being willfully obtuse, and it really does not seem like you understand the concept of semantics.
>>
>>82063786

>the feminine side of the gender spectrum is labeled as "female" that that also makes them female sexed, which isn't really true

That's where we differ. I believe it is true. Mothers, sisters, nannies, nursemaids - these are the female side of what you're referring to as "gender", i.e. femininity as it applies to roles within society. These are roles that men either cannot play or cannot play successfully, by definition.

I do believe that there are a great many roles in society that don't have gender associated with them, but which are more often associated with certain genders - for example, nurses are typically regarded as feminine and doctors are masculine.

Many would insist that male nurses or female doctors are subverting a gender role, but personally I believe that because performing the role has nothing to do with biological sex, it's not a gender role at all. It's just a role.

Perhaps that's where the problem stems from - in order to believe that gender is a unique concept that exists on a spectrum not reflected by biology, you start out believing that everything that men and women do is assigned a position on that gender spectrum.

So the reasoning might go: playing with dolls? Female on the gender spectrum. Playing with toy soldiers? Male on the gender spectrum. Long hair? Female. Short hair? Male. Et cetera for every facet of life.

To me, that's stupid. Meaningless. Those are just neutral activities, unrelated to gender in any significant way besides statistical probability. But when you start talking about activities and roles which are, by necessity, associated with biological gender, then you're talking about gender roles.

Competing medical schools? What would they be competing for - students? The student pool wouldn't increase in a free market system. The number of people qualified to be physicians isn't effected by the number of medical schools.

Unless you're advocating for a lowering of standards for doctors to flood the market just to have "more doctors." Which is.. I mean just insanely irresponsible and short sighted.

>medical schools would be reformed and doctors would specialize in far more things
How would a free market reform medical schools? And what is a doctor learning in medical school that they "don't need." The majority of specialization comes in the field when they rotate through clinical practice areas. Medical school is like law school - just the bare minimum knowledge you need not to fuck someone's life up on the job.

Someone else responded by suggesting that nurses and technicians be allowed more autonomy. That at least makes sense in terms of doctor shortages.

Gender fundamentally is linked to biological sex but aren't the same thing. It just so happens that since gender and sex align commonly, they are used interchangeably. This is a fact. Now people (the left) are trying to argue that gender is not linked to sex which when explained to most people innately it makes sense but they are arguing it in a very dangerous matter that seems to say that gender takes a precedence over sex. The other side of the coin is not helping the argument by insisting sex and gender mean the same thing. Here is an sample illustration.

>Boy plays with Barbies
>He can only play with trucks cause his biological sex is MALE.
This is WRONG.

>Boy plays with Barbies
>He likes to play with barbies?! Lets chop her dick off.

Yes, government mandated universal health care that goes through private companies still qualifies as universal health care, which is at least a somewhat socialist idea.

And what the fuck are you even saying? The government did regulate business in the 50s and 60s, I don't even know how to respond to this because it's just literally not true. Teddy Roosevelt was the fucking trust buster in the 1890s, and in the 1950's the corporate taxes were like 50%. You're just uninformed, I'm sorry.

Let me reiterate:

-switzerland has universal government mandated health care and you say it's perfect

-the government has been the main force to bust up monopolies which are a byproduct of an unregulated free market system

-the 50s which you claim were amazing had a tax rate for corporations that's DOUBLE what it is today, and they still regulated said corporations

Where the fuck is your argument?

Correct, because as far as I understand the concept of "gender", there are only two available categories. What other categories are there, in your definition?

>when I, and most people at least somewhat aware of the broader conversation being had on the subject, use the word gender, we're referring to something that is untethered from the word sex

Then you are using a completely different word from what I would understand to be meant by "gender".

Yes it would. If you could go to school for a few less years to become a doctor then you would.

You're absolutely insane. There is no reason being a doctor should take that fucking long.
There would be more specialization in the field. People would get degrees in doing specific medical things.
Even if standards are reduced like 10% or so. It's worth it because medical costs would come down a lot.

Wrong. Female are biologically bias towards caretaker roles because biological they are better at giving care, That is an evolutionary trait. Males in the past picks wives who are better caregivers (which makes them better nurses) so over generations females are now biologically better at a certain role. So again, gender roles and activities have genetic and biological basing and influence. But that doesn't mean they are the same thing.

I was strictly talking about healthcare, but since you're now changing the topic to the economy as a whole, I'll have you know that taxes were actually really low in the 1950s. Almost nobody paid these "high" taxes. pic related

>-switzerland has universal government mandated health care
No they have a private system.
Forcing people to give money to corporations is obviously not socialized medicine
ALSO using your same retarded term. A free market in healthcare can also technically be universal healthcare because if prices are low enough that everyone can easily afford it, and people who absolutely can not afford it are covered by private charity, then it's technically universal.

>-the government has been the main force to bust up monopolies which are a byproduct of an unregulated free market system
You're changing the topic. Also antitrust laws are fucking bullshit, the companies they broke up were never monopolies and were actually doing good for society.

The Swiss system has to deal with a relatively small, wealthy population all in a small geographic area.
It works so well precisely because of these factors + government oversight and mandated caps on patient cost.

I understand that statistically speaking, men are less likely to join caring professions, and women are less likely to become manual labourers.

However, there is nothing inherent about nursing that requires a nurse to be female, and nothing about bricklaying that requires a man, so as far as gender is concerned they are neutral activities, they are not gender roles.

Fathering (providing for, protecting and occasionally being absent from a family, being a teacher for sons and a friend for daughters) is a gender role. Mothering (caring for and being available to a family, cooking daily meals, managing the household) is a gender role. Corporate accountancy is a neutral role, but it is one which is most often taken up by people of the male gender, which is another way of saying people of the male sex.

I think another key thing here is the difference between "masculine" and "male" - the idea of "masculinity", while referring to things typically associated with the male gender, is not tied 1:1 with biological sex. You seem to associate the word "gender" with the nebulous spheres of "masculinity" and "femininity", where to me that association does not seem correct.

I'm not even saying there's not a strong correlation between sex and where people tend to lie on the gender spectrum, or that evolution doesn't have a huge part of why that is. I'm just saying, for as much as you want everybody to be in those boxes, they aren't. Some are, sure, but there are people that exist outside of those normative roles. For better or worse, I know some males that were you to meet them with no prior knowledge, you'd have no real idea that they were male sexed, it's actually pretty amazing, whether or not you agree with it politically or ideologically. Again, idk if it's a great thing, but I definitely don't think people shouldn't be allowed to behave how they want to behave as long as it's not encroaching on other people's freedoms. Idk, you seem to be sort of agreeing that the roles are just roles, and that it's all just correlation how people choose to operate on the spectrum of masculinity and femininity. That's the thing that people, as well as the dictionary definitions, are referring to as gender. The roles. The gender roles. Beyond that it doesn't really seem like we disagree on much, but again, the conversation's going to be simpler if you accept the not even really new definition of the word gender and use it the way that everybody is using it.
>>
>>82064318
>I took philosophy at university, I probably understand the concept of semantics better than you do.

I don't see how that can be true when you're so resistant to acknowledging a wiiiidely accepted definition of an incredibly timely word in our current political climate.

I don't pretend to have all the words people are using to label different gender categories, and honestly, given the definition of the word as it's used to day, it seems like there can be literally as many different genders as people can find distinctions between them. As with any true spectrum, there are infinite variations between two poles, in the same way that between any two points on a line there are infinite unique points. I'm not even saying I'm a fan of how convoluted this is getting, but the point is that when you recognize that gender refers to something MUCH more abstract that biological sex, you ought to be able to see that there are going to be more than two categories. It's an abstraction and it's as complicated as, say, emotions. And we know there are more emotions than happy and sad.
>>
>>82064714

>For better or worse, I know some males that were you to meet them with no prior knowledge, you'd have no real idea that they were male sexed

This doesn't change the fact that they're males, always will be males, and will never be able to do anything that only females are able to do. They will forever be locked into male gender roles.

Although it seems paradoxical, being the MtF transsexual partner of another person is a distinct male gender role, albeit one that is uncommon. The role itself involves behaving and acting like a stereotypical female, but it is inherently exclusive to members of the male gender.

Getting fucked in the ass after going on a date in a dress and makeup is not, in itself, a gender role, is what I'm saying.
>>
>>82064648
I agree. What I want to despute is and it ties to your last point is the idea of female and male vs masculine and feminity. You are right in the fact that I want to associate it with the nebulous spheres of masculinity and feminity because as I have been saying from my first post gender is a wide spectrum. We as a society have evolve and grown to understand certain roles and norms as being bias towards to certain sex and the manner in which we describe it is gender.

There is nothing that requires a nurse to be a female but it is the activities they carry out which is feminine in nature such as empathy for the sick, caring for and being available to the ill, prepping and feeding daily meals and managing their wards. Sounds familiar? Those are biological traits present in females but also sometimes appear in males.

Now it is disingenuous to insist that males cannot be good nurses and your insistence in thinking is backwards. Sure in the past, if your son wanted to be a something other then a farmer? Tough shit m8. Grab the shovel we got some digging to do. But society has grown to a point where biological male and female have the luxury to choose. This is what majority of the people understand. That they have a side of them which might be a little feminine but that isn't wrong.

What the left is peddling is wrong because just cause you like a little feminine stuff doesn't mean you chop your dick off but at the same time the right is not helping either with their insistence that sex and gender are the same thing and binary making people feel guilty for having another side they are not willing to embrace.

This is fucking stupid thinking. That is not how the world works. Because what happens when you tell someone that and their thinking doesn't align with yours? They are biologically male. They like girls. But maybe they want to be a nurse or some other female gender roles. Gosh. Are they actually really females in a male body?!

>if you could go to school for a few less years to become a doctor then you would

What? You're falsely assuming that the barrier to entry for people looking at medical school is "how long it takes." That's simply not the case. The barrier is first and foremost mental skill and fortitude (being smart enough to do the work and tough enough to hack it). The second barrier is education cost.

Either way Its a 4 year program - 2 of course work, 2 being clinical placement where you're "basically a doctor" and learning hands-on.
You can't realistically shorten that any more. How would you? 1 year in classes? Med students already burn out memorizing all the anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, empidemeolgy etc etc etc basics they need to ground a successful practice. 1 year in clinic? Do you really want a doctor that's only had a year of oversight learning the hands on part of medicine?

You say medical schools should just be graduating super specialized people doing "specific medical things."
Things like what? Thoracic surgery? General surgery? Oncology? Gastroenterology?
Doctors already do specialize. It takes *years* after med school to become a specialist because it's like anything else you gotta practice and learn from elders to git gud.

If you mean there should be a doctor who graduated just learning the skills to (and only being able to) like repair a hurnea, that's a waste. Better to let nursing school expand the types of shit nurses can do unsupervised.

>Even if standards are reduced like 10% or so. It's still worth it because medical costs would come down a lot.

How? More raw med students solves nothing. The bottleneck is in the field. There aren't enough doctors to teach at med schools, aren't enough hospitals to teach new doctors etc. You're just adding to a job crisis.

Unless you want to get rid of the medical board and stop bothering to certify doctors (and the board of physicians is not the AMA)

Think about what is going on here, really apply your mind to it.

You don't need to, because they are meaningless and can be replaced by two easy-to-remember alternatives.

Are you really arguing against nuance? This is exactly what I mean by the word HYBRID. It does not fit neatly into one category or another. It's not pure free market. It's not purely socialized. It's universal health care that incorporates government regulation and mandates as well as privatized competition. You must see that there's room in between the two polar opposites.

>They are biologically male. They like girls.

A nurse is a neutral role, I've already said that. It's a job. It involves emptying bedpans, changing wound dressing, nodding along with elderly people's stories, and breaking the news of family members' deaths. There is nothing about the role of a nurse that excludes it from being performed by either women or men.

One example of a role that a heterosexual male (or any other male) will never be able to play is the role of mother. That is an exclusively female role, and is thus a gender role. Likewise, a woman can never be a MtF transsexual, that will always be a male gender role.

There is no "left" or "right" involved here, I am merely taking issue with the claim that the words "gender" and "sex" refer to different concepts, which to my mind they do not.

He suffers from delusions, specifically a condition called gender dysphoria, which is a mental illness. He should be given anti-psychotics and therapy.

You're confused, because you think that I believe hormone treatment and surgery are appropriate treatments for gender dysphoria. I don't believe that. They completely fail to correct the patient's delusions, and instead simply try to create a pretend reality where the delusions are closer to the truth.

It's treating insanity by encouraging insanity, it's bizarre and wrong.

Sex and gender are the same thing, and the emotional need to invent ways in which that isn't true, in order to justify certain sexual tastes or to stave off a sense of having failed to live up to gender expectations is, I believe, part of the root cause of gender dysphoria in the first place.

You, on the other hand, haven't really thought any of this through and I suspect you've never actually met a transsexual in your life.

Listen, you drooling moron.

If Timmy likes to play with barbie dolls, that is not a symptom of anything except eccentric taste in toys. He's fine, and although he's probably a little effeminate, he's going to grow up to be as normal as anyone else.

If Jimmy, on the other hand, is eighteen years old and is convinced that he is a woman trapped in a man's body, spends hours crying to himself while putting on women's clothes in front of the mirror, and can't get aroused without imagining that he is a woman, then he has a serious psychological issue and needs therapy.

If Jimmy goes to the therapist and insists that he is a woman, and that despite his male body his soul is female and nothing anybody says will convince him otherwise, he is suffering from delusions, specifically a delusional state known as "gender dysphoria". Untreated, there are many ways his condition might worsen, or he might suffer from a psychotic break. He is probably at severe risk of suicide.

What he needs is anti-psychotics, and to be slowly talked back to reality by a professional therapist. What he DOESN'T need is to be given hormone pills to make his body appear female, surgery to permanently mutilate his genitals, and a worldwide media campaign dedicated to convincing him it's okay to be deluded because reality is only "what you feel like it is".

Gender dysphoria is a real and serious condition, and failing to recognise it as such is something that both you and the people you apparently detest are guilty of.

A maternal figure is, by definition, female. Every child needs a strong reference point for male and female archetypes in order to become a functional adult.

It doesnt make one of us right and one of us wrong. The truth is in the middle because doctors are just people, some good some shitty. To say that all doctors here dont give a fuck about you is just patently false. You're (understandably from your experiences) speaking from emotion.


My point with their wealth, population and landmass was that the system is not 1:1 transplantable here like you think it is. Would you be able to shop for insurance outside your home province? You cant do that with auto insurance. The Insurance Act's vary too wildly for providers to even attempt inter-provincial policy sales. Would your coverage be nationally portable or would that be a premium-based additional option?
My point is there are a number of Canada-specific issues that prevent "just doing it like Switzerland"

>Would the ratio of doctors to patients somehow change?
No but it's a matter of access to services. Don't you think health care costs increase when you have to pay doctors a premium to travel to rural/remote areas? When you have to ship medicines and other materiel across a *giant* country - between hospitals, from manufacturing to distribution centers, from urban to rural. Obviously its a huge cost increase. One that Switzerland doesnt have to consider because of its population size and density.

>You get fucking arrested.

No you dont. The goverment just shuts your clinic down by sheer attrition because you're not plugged in to the networks you need to be for resources and information and shit. So nobody bothers.


They can afford to force low premiums because

You fucking moron. An effeminate male doesn't belong to a different sex. But gender is a spectrum, he isn't polar opposite, like fucking binary but he leans towards his feminine side. That is gender. I don't care what retarded term you want to call it, the fact that you acknowledge such a situation can exist is enough for me. Fyi, when you decide to take your head out of the sand, the rest of the world (not the insane left or the insane right) call it gender.

>That would be stupid, it would render the concept of gender meaningless.
You are the only savant caveman left sticking to the traditional viewpoint of gender = sex. I feel sorry for your narrow point of view. I cannot educate the ignorant.

>Someone can strive to be a maternal female without biologically being female

I mean, sure, he can strive to, but he will inevitably fail, because he is male and can never be female. That would be an utterly retarded thing to strive for, because it can never be achieved.

Dick or not, he can never, by definition, become a mother because he is a man. End of story.

Do you actually know some guy who is trying to be a mother? Why is this such a big deal for you?

Oh I am sure there are zero single fathers that have kids that have grown up to be successful people. They all failed. According to you of course.

>Dick or not, he can never, by definition, become a mother because he is a man. End of story.
Wrong. There are father who can double as maternal figures and who are doubling as maternal figures. Care to show me the facts to prove otherwise?

>Do you actually know some guy who is trying to be a mother? Why is this such a big deal for you?
Because you are a moron stuck in the 1800 who insist on sex = gender and somehow all of human psyche can be put into neat little boxes titled Male or Female. Talking to you makes me sad. You are ignorant and foolish. No different from talking to someone who insist gender is strictly a social construct.

But it's not. You probably just got lucky.
Literally everyone I know talks about how shit the healthcare system is here and how bad waiting lines are.
Just because you got lucky doesn't mean shit.
You can't even get a fucking family doctor here.

>The truth is in the middle because doctors are just people, some good some shitty.
No, it's the bullshit government monopolized system they are a part of that is responsible for their behavior. What incentive do they have to treat you?

>My point with their wealth, population and landmass was that the system is not 1:1 transplantable here like you think it is.
totally irrelevant

>Would you be able to shop for insurance outside your home province?
Absolutely. Why not?

>You cant do that with auto insurance.
You SHOULD be able to do that, it would lower costs.

>My point is there are a number of Canada-specific issues that prevent "just doing it like Switzerland"
No shit. All of these issues revolve around government regulation. Regulation that needs to be removed so we can have a system like Switzerland.
I fucking hope that Maxime Bernier gets elected so you pieces of shit can finally fuck off.

>No but it's a matter of access to services.
Access would increase. If switzerland had a socialized medical system instead they would have waiting lines. They have a mostly privatized system so that means they DON'T have waiting lines. Access improves.

>health care costs increase when you have to pay doctors a premium to travel to rural/remote areas?
What?
People drive to doctors offices and hospitals. What are you talking about?

>ship medicines and other materiel across a *giant* country
>muh shipping costs
lmao that's such an incredibly small part of the price of most things. It may raise costs a little bit compared to switzerland but not that much. Our food prices are about the same as theirs.

>An effeminate male doesn't belong to a different sex

Right, and he also doesn't belong to a different gender.

His sex is male, which also means his gender is male, and his attitude is effeminate because he plays with girly toys.

A boy who plays with barbies doesn't occupy a mysterious position on a mysterious scale of "manliness to womanliness", and that mysterious scale is not what is meant by the word "gender".

What you're talking about is "masculinity" and "femininity" as opposed to "male" and "female", and while the former two are obviously closely associated with gender, they are not the two ends of a "gender spectrum", they are far more nebulous concepts than that.

If everything effeminate thing that any man did moved him around on the gender scale, the word "man" would become utterly meaningless.

If that's really the new system within which this new definition is supposed to apply, it's even more illogical and meaningless than I initially thought.

>>82065885
>No you dont.
Actually yes. It's the fucking law.

You can't just start up a private healthcare practice without going through the governmental system. If you're an unlicensed doctor they will arrest you.
It's very simple, dummy.

>The goverment just shuts your clinic down
No fucking shit. That's what my main point is. It's violence.
If you try to resist them shutting down your business you will be shot.

Either way you put it, switching to a swiss style system would be far better than the current sociopathic/barbaric system we have today.

The profit motive works.

>>don't regulate doctors! let the free market decide who's good at practicing medicine!
Yes. There would be competing medical schools instead of the bureaucratic corporate bullshit known as the AMA. People would only go to doctors licenced by these firms.

Why are you such a bootlicker?

Good stick to your old age thinking. I don't give a fuck. The rest of the world has moved on. This new definition allows for the explanation and expansion of the study of the human psyche. You want to stick to the 1800 definition of sex and gender when we can't even do brain scans and read brain activities. Good for you. I am just glad the rest of the world is reasonable and understand gender exist on a spectrum and while has a bias from sex isn't 100% linked to it.

If people like you had your way, we would still think that the world is made out of the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire.

All you are doing is giving excuses to your backwards ass thinking. I repeat. I don't care. I won't bother repeating myself again. You are an ignorant fool.

If you don't treat cancer it will kill you. Shocking news.

>Canadian waiting lines are horrific.
For certain procedures they're not good its true. Wait times are also province-dependent because each province runs their own healthcare system so my experience as an Ontarian where things are pretty quick may differ than if youre in like New Brunswick where its total shit.
The wait to get a family doctor is also unacceptably long because theres a family doctor shortage.

>Had to wait over a fucking eyar to even get x rays.
That's his family doctor's fault then. There's x-ray/ultrasound clinics all over the place. The last time I needed an x-ray I literaly walked from my docs office on the 2nd floor to the clinic in the basement, sat there for an hour and got it done.

>Welcome to Canada
No doctor you've ever spoken to ever said or thought anything like "we *refuse* to treat you dying person!" come on now.

>What my dad had was serious you retard.
All cancer is serious but non-hodgkins lymphoma has a 5-year survival rate above 90% well into Stage II.
I'm not saying the system can't be better - and should be better - but this ghoulish world you've concocted where doctors and the government are gleefully sending people off to die because they don't care or don't want to spend the money is complete nonsense.

>Health canada won't even give a shit about it
Government already passed the Lyme Disease Act. The development of the national health response is happening as we speak. Since 2009 its a "reportable disease" meaning health canada tracks every confirmed case and patient.

Your doctors and your country don't secretly hate you man.

No fucking shit. He could have had the aggressive form. You think the doctors are even going to test for that? It's literally up to chance in this country.

I used to live in ontario, it's also fucking garbage. Maybe the area you live in is just lucky. It's complete bullshit for the vast majority of the country.

>Oh I am sure there are zero single fathers that have kids that have grown up to be successful people. They all failed. According to you of course.

No, of course not, because they weren't "striving to be a maternal figure". They were a paternal figure. The maternal figures in their children's lives were provided by the father's girlfriends, or female schoolteachers, or female babysitters. The maternal role is, by definition, the archetypal woman in the children's subconscious.

If a single father has failed to give the children access to any such example at all, and they have never had a close emotional relationship with an adult woman, then yes, at that point he has failed, but he has failed as a father. He was never "striving to be a mother".

>There are father who can double as maternal figures and who are doubling as maternal figures.

A father cannot, by definition, double as both a maternal and paternal figure. A single father's children will look to other adult females in their life to provide an example of archetypal female behaviour, that's really basic psychology.

>Care to show me the facts to prove otherwise?

I can't provide peer-reviewed evidence or statistics to support my understanding of the definition of a word, and you're being stupid to ask for it. However, I'm sure there have been innumerable studies into the subject of which women become maternal figures in the lives of the children of single fathers, you can go look them up yourself.

>somehow all of human psyche can be put into neat little boxes titled Male or Female

Not quite, but it's very true that every human psyche has at its core an understanding of what exactly those two terms mean. Typically, their understanding of what is meant by "male" is provided by the paternal figure, and "female" by the maternal figure, that's what's meant by those two concepts.

You're just privileged and never had a serious illness in this country.

lmao it's literally how the system fucking works

>The development of the national health response is happening as we speak.
Another government program that isn't going to do anything.

>Your doctors and your country don't secretly hate you man.
No, they're just corrupt pieces of shit. The people that run this system deserve a bullet.
