Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Get a fucking grip on fucking reality you stupid fucking idiot. Stop inventing things in your head to disagree with you putrid rotting dog cunt.

I see you're not exactly into constructive conversation. Maybe chill out instead of getting so angry at comments online that it sends you into a fit of swearing rage?

justify it

Sure. Any time, any day. I doubt you'll even read past the first sentence given how irrationally angry you seem to be, but maybe you'll prove me wrong.

The vast majority of people do not even know there are sexes that could be defined outside the binary of male and female. They don't know that chromosome combinations outside XX and XY exist at all.
When people are told this, many of them refuse to accept it, and simply cast it as "outliers" that in the end, don't change their belief that "there are only 2 sexes", sometimes because their religion simply states there's only 2 against all currently known evidence, or even if they are just more broadly liberal and would still say gender is separate from sex. It is an uncomfortable thing for some to come to terms with to understand that something so deeply ingrained into our culture is much more complicated than it seems at a glance.
This has been a known fact for centuries, and yet society broadly still assumes, by default, that it is "abnormal" and "undesirable", so surgeries are often performed on intersex individuals as babies to "correct" their sex characteristics to match just the two binary options most people are familiar with, even if that individual later finds out and would otherwise have not wanted the surgery.
To this day, people like you are continuing to call people like me a "putrid rotting dog cunt" for explaining this well-researched, broadly demonstrated topic with widespread occurrences across the globe, when the more reasonable answer to being told such a fact would be to spend even a minute on any search engine to find out you're going against the whole of medical consensus and seemingly getting incredibly incensed over the fact that nobody agrees with you.

You aren’t adressing what they said

Every part of their statement was either reaffirmed or backed up with additional supporting statements in what I wrote. Either you didn't read what I typed, or you simply don't have the greatest reading comprehension and can't see how my statements back up what they originally posted.

you are just stating random facts I never disagreed with.

Those 'random facts' are directly reaffirming the other person's statements, which you called "the stupidest fucking shit I have seen today." Is it safe to say that you calling something stupid probably means you disagree with it?

You are disingenuous

Keep telling yourself that, I'm sure you gotta fuel that anger somehow. It's not you who is wrong, it must be everyone else!

calling something stupid probably means you disagree with it?

Jesus fucking christ dude biological sex is everything you have describe what are you even disagreeing with because I am disagreeing with the sentiment of a fucking idiot I am not talking about gender.

biological sex is everything you have describe what are you even disagreeing with

Someone said, at least to summarize, that it's stupid to think there's only two sexes, and that people are intentionally ignorant of that fact.

You called that statement "stupid fucking shit", then in another comment said "I disagreed with this fucking idiot that’s the extent of it." as if that changed the fact that what you were disagreeing with was their statement.

Thus, the understanding is that you think those ideas are stupid, and thus incorrect.

Even now, you just said "I am not talking about gender." Guess what? I'm not either. I'm talking about societal understanding of sex characteristics and how they get classified, just like the original comment you said was stupid was doing.

Of course I'm talking about biological sex, that's the primary component of the thing you called stupid. What else am I supposed to be addressing here? You literally re-stated your point again, saying "This is the stupidest fucking shit I have seen today" while specifically quoting the part of the original comment addressing biological sex. Do you need a refresher on what you yourself quoted? Here it is:

In conclusion, “biological sex” is just another gross simplification created by people who’s minds are so pathetic they can’t comprehend reality and so choose to live by mantra founded in disproven pseudo-sciences, religion, and other excuses to avoid critical thinking, and then put themselves in positions of power.

Does that statement not literally begin by addressing biological sex?

Do you even know the topic of the argument you're having right now? Are you just blindly disagreeing with people without reading the words you're quoting? I'm not sure if you're simply angry for the sake of it and ignorant of what you're talking about, or if you're just trolling on purpose, but regardless I'm done with this comment chain. You clearly aren't acting in good faith, and you clearly don't have a grasp on what it is you even started arguing about.
