Students walk out during Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech at Duke - Lemmy.World

I’m confused. By all accounts Jerry and the entire cast came together to point out their hate for Trump and Republicans. But because he doesn’t agree with one issue he’s been labeled as a right winger? I’m so far left that young leftists think I’m too extreme, to the point where they call be right wing for disagreeing with every tiny thing they say. The young left have become the keepers of “right/wrong think”

Edit: a lot of young people who call themselves left, are doing everything possible to push people away from the left, instead of making them allies.

That’s how it works these days.

I’m pro-trans, but I’m not pro-trans people in women’s sports. This makes me a anti-trans nazi in the vast majority of leftie/progressivist people’s eyes.

My opinion on trans athletes is that I lack the qualifications to have an opinion. What happens to the human body during transition should be pretty well-documented by now, though. I’m sure if there’s any real problem, the doctors who work in gender-affirming care would be pretty vocal about it.
They’re biased, though. I don’t assign a moral value to that, I mean sociologically.

Fucking lol

The doctors who research this stuff for a living are biased

Science is biased

Reality is biased

You’re a regressive who hates that reality disagrees with you and would prefer to live in a fantasy world of your own making

Uh, calm down mate. Maybe you think you’re replying to somebody else? A doctor making their living from providing transgender healthcare is absolutely a biased party, as would any researcher choosing to focus on this topic. That’s reflexivity, it’s quite important to acknowledge.

Buddy that’s like saying you won’t v listen to physicists about gravity because they’re biased

Researching and reporting on scientific realities isn’t bias

It’s stating the truth

You would definitely need to acknowledge a physicist’s bias towards the theory they have chosen to research. That’s absolutely a thing! I’m not saying anything controversial here. I don’t even like sociology very much, reflexivity is boring and over-emphasised but it’s a legitimate issue, and it’s a big issue in transgender medicine. Which people are very keen to point out when the research doesn’t agree with their own position.

Fucking lol

Chud

Just admit you hate science and want to live in a fantasy world where reality agrees with you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chuds, Chads and Chodes, it’s a hell of a world.
