I don't see Ben Shapiro as an “opponent”. His weapons-grade bad takes aimed at nothing but to stoke the fires of a culture war simply are vile.

Try spending a new year's eve in e.g. Germany.

everybody above the age of 15 can and will start fireworks in close vicinity to everyone else doing it. You do not feel safe.

Doesn't apply to the author here, so I don't understand why you brought it up?

They accepted one that adds gender neutral pronouns in more than one place instead lol

We could maybe give people like her a glimpse into the sheer defiance that nature has against all attempts to fit into tiny categorical boxes.

It's not just the topics that she doesn't understand (especially the intersection of gender with endocrinology and neurology), but everything.

If you are a biologist and think you have found a rule that applies to some part of biology, you will feel deeply uncomfortable until the inevitable exceptions start cropping up that tell you that while the theory is still statistically sound, it's not unnaturally strict and therefore plausible.

Obviously trans people exist and are valid. Thinking otherwise would be ignoring mountains of biological patterns and data that tell us that every binary in biology isn't actually clean-cut.

Yeah, everyone is the hero in their own story, so from their perspective, they surely feel like they know things until they meet an actual biologist challenging them.

TERFs invoke half-remembered high-school level biology as if it was mathematical fact. In actual biological reality, nothing is binary or absolute. I don't need a PhD in computational biology to know that, but if surely helps.

The track record of the Biden administration is solid. Why should that change?

How about being a compassionate human being who tries to understand the conversation partner's fears without bowing down to misinformation? If that's not enough for them because they see debunking their bunk as personal attack, I don't think anyone from outside of their cult is an acceptable conversation partner for them.

Your actions have effects in the real world! Shocking, I know. But not voting for the lesser evil in a FPTP voting system like the US’s increases the likelihood of the bigger evil winning.

You don't get to deny responsibility, however minor, for the consequences of your actions.

Leftists who aren't completely brain-dead will of course vote for his administration.

Are they aware that even an almost-corpse could follow their advisors and therefore end up having an effective presidency? As long as Biden doesn't start doing random senile shit (and be realistic, he's far from that)

Lol, have you seen a Republican recently?
