As far as gender vs. sex and male vs. female, I have been in many hospitals across the country from the most liberal states to the most conservative. Last week, I had surgery in a very liberal state. Every hospital has a questionnaire that you fill out when high arrive. Close to the top, I forget which number.......

Sex/Gender- Male Female Circle one

There was no.....

Sexual orientation/gender identity with 75 options

It really is that simple with exceptions.

You are describing “assigned sex”. That is a different thing than the more general concept of gender and sex.

Still waiting for that example of a scientific, verified, observed instance of a man spontaneously becoming a woman capable of carrying a life. If you want to have a distinction between what people feel and what they are, I’m fine with that.

That isn’t part of the definition of gender. You are just inventing a strawman test.

An assigned sex male might one day be able to get pregnant with a uterine transplant. Hasn’t happened yet, but who knows in the future.

Furthermore, the ability to get pregnant isn’t a litmus test for being a woman, under either our current evolved understanding of gender or the old school less evolved definition. Many assigned sex females will never be able to be give birth, but you wouldn’t say that makes them non-female, would you?

I agree that not all biological woman can become pregnant. That doesn’t define what a woman is. You are still talking about the exceptions rather than the rule. Never make rules ignoring the 99.9% to appease the .01%.

Those that identify with their non-assigned gender are kind of an exception too. They certainly don’t make up the majority.

Going against nature is such an exciting concept for some of these idiots.

308 in hosp 44 on vents

And, there is a resurgence of parishes moving from low-moderate risk to high risk. The recent trend is not encouraging.

302 in hosp 38 on vents

One year ago...

May 3, 2020

1,530 in hosp 213 on vents

Doing better!

Progress has stalled. Over 1 million Louisianaians have been vaccinated, about 26%. No excuse for that number not to be higher. At our local Walmart the pharmacy department is offering free shots. Big sign at the entrances...FREE Vaccinations. In and out quickly.

Still over 300 China virus patients in hospitals and 34 on vents. Why are vents still being used?

Yep -

Certain communities want no part of the vaccine

Is it because certain politicians poo-poo’d the vaccines because of the individual in office when they were launched? Is it the flood of opinion and information that largely can’t seem to agree on anything from one day to the next? Or is it just distrust among that community?

I think it's a combination of all three -

Funny thing is - in this part of the woods - I would say the most of the individuals who have taken the vaccines voted for Trump...

I've got an individual in my office whose sister died of Covid at the age of 48 (a relatively healthy individual) and she refuses to get vaccinated -

I am a registered Republican but I never voted for Trump. I am vaccinated. Where I live almost EVERYONE voted for Trump (near 80%) and the vaccine levels here rank near the bottom in the state. That said, the parish above me is even lower and they are heavily minority and go blue overwhelmingly each election.

The common thread with the two polar opposite parishes? High poverty levels and likely low levels of higher education. I would be interested to see if there is a real correlation there.
