I have to admit to having mixed feelings about Trump.
Part of me wants him to die a prolonged, agonising death.
Another part of me wants him to die as soon as possible.

Trump and Putin aiming to carve up Europe between them like a new Molotov Ribbentrop Pact reminds me of this Gillray cartoon of Pitt and Napoleon doing the same.

Accusing the opposition of what you'll do yourself is a Goebbels strategy.

However, if you want data with crucial context and meaning for the data rather than throwing irrelevance around like distracting chaff then watch this. Developmental biologist Doctor Emma Hilton is one of the world’s greatest experts in sex.

Naked emperor’s dressmaking patterns or fashion criticisms about the naked emperor’s new clothes are not relevant data about whether the emperor is really naked.

You're still missing the point. Here's a metaphor for you. Hopefully it will help. Engineers can describe Trams in fine detail. They definitely are Trams. That doesn't turn them into cars, or entitle them to travel on motorways.

Thanks for conceding that. Don't use it then.

I know what the data means, and what it doesn't. You evidently don't.

I use the scientific data appropriately. You use it inappropriately because, evidently, you don't understand basic reasoning.

You miss the point. That doesn't surprise me, as your belief system depends on missing the point. I totally accept scientific data, but scientific data about what people believe is not proof that what those people believe is true.

Flooding me with links to fashion descriptions of The Emperor's New Drag as you fail to make a cogent argument yourself makes no difference to the fundamental point which renders them all irrelevant - the Emperor's naked. Sex is real. Transgender is make believe.

People who we now call 'trans' who pretend to be the opposite sex have existed in many societies, but that doesn't make them the opposite sex. People who sacrificed children to imaginary gods have existed in many societies, but that doesn't make those imaginary gods real. It's Emperors New Drag.

You're conflating sex and gender again. Gender's a social confection, like religion. Religions believe all sorts of ridiculous and harmful BS, and so do believers in gender ideologies. Sex is fact. Sex matters when gender is irrelevant. Imagined detail of The naked Emperor's New Drag is irrelevant.

Your Straw Man arguments fall apart in breeze. Same sex attraction exists. No problem with that. Men who wish they were women exist. No problem with that, as far as it goes, but XY and XX chromosomes exist and respectively define people as men and women. Wishes don't alter reality.

You are conflating gayness with trans and conflating sex science with transphobia in outrageously irrational and pig ignorant ways. People are gay but men aren't women. Deciding that you are the opposite sex to your sex chromosomes doesnt magically turn you into the opposite of what you are.

Is that literal sarcasm, LiteralSarcasm? I acknowledge the observable efficacy of science and logic. If that is a pre-existing bias it is a good one because it is contingent on observible and deducible reality.
