How to reconcile?

LOL you don’t. “Transwomen are women (except when I am choosing a mate, then I can be selective)”

So I’m confronted with the reality that if I want to believe trans women are women, I shouldn’t be able to hold my second opinion, but it feels like one that can’t budge.

You called yourself out.

I personally (as the subject of the example) am seeking a bio, cis woman.

Ah, so you’re saying “no trans”

I can understand putting a “no trans” label on a profile can seem hurtful

Yes, people will feel excluded by this

I’m not degrading trans women

Correct, you are just saying that they aren’t sexually attractive to you and you assign higher sexual market value to cis women and that you see trans women and cis women as different

And shouldn’t everyone individually assess their own "sexual market value"s, and be free to do so?

Yes

> “A and B are equal. However, I only prefer A. Why do people that enjoy A and B think I am being discriminatory towards B?”

Yeah but I heard my cousin’s friend had only one and instantly got autism.

Has Starlink considered just using really tall antennas? Should be a lot easier than all the risks associated with putting equipment into low Earth orbit.

IDF justification:

As the youths were wandering through the rubble of the devastated areas in Gaza, they were essentially trespassing in what can be classified as hostile territory. These areas have been known to harbor terrorist activities and weapons caches. Given the high-risk nature of these environments, the IDF was merely enforcing standard operating procedures to protect both their forces and innocent civilians.

Moreover, these particular individuals had no visible means of identification, which left the IDF with little choice but to assume that they might pose a threat. Their lack of uniform and identifiable markers could potentially mean they are involved with terrorist organizations. This suspicion, coupled with their presence in an area known for previous hostile activities, made the situation highly volatile. It’s important to remember that the IDF operates under the principle of necessity and proportionality, meaning that only when there is an imminent danger will they engage.

Unfortunately, they sleep very well at night.

I would like to see a list of the medications Trump takes daily. Rumor has it that prescription (and non-prescription) medication flowed freely in his White House. What is the saying? People who smoke glass shouldn’t throw stones?

The US is so inept at manufacturing, yet wants to fight China. We can pretend to punish them, but 98% of all products bought and sold in the USA are “Made In China”.
