I heard this somewhere

At some point there was a discussion about vets and vietnam... Some say that returning vets received poor treatment is an urban legend.  I have for you some evidence

Genderalities


So gender identity politics list hundreds of genders?  Really? Is that the case or do I need to research the stats?  To say that science has identified anything more than two genders is just this: bad science.  My favorite case for this is genetics.  Mother has exactly 2 recessive X gender genes.  Father has exactly 2 genes (X from his mother and Y-dominant gene from his father).  There is nothing chauvinistic about this statement, just science.  Mother passes one X gene (her only available gene to pass) and Father passes the other.  Now for the fun stuff.

  1. Gender ties uniquely to reproduction and propagation
  2. Gender *confusion* is a result of perversion of the true state of humanity
  3. For those who claim to be a new or transgender might change everything about their bodies to make them their gender of preference, the one thing that will never change and forever keep them their true gender is in the genes.  XX genes will always be XX and the same for XY.  No amount of opinion, preference, hormone treatment, or genital surgery will change that (refer to item 2.)
  4. Just for the record, while it may be possible to disguise as another gender through all of these processes listed above, it is still just a disguise.  A guy trying to be a girl looks like a guy trying to be a girl, not a girl.  A girl trying to be a guy looks like a girl trying to be a guy, not a guy.
  5. The whole pretend thing has led to folks being all mixed up about reality to the point that they want fantasy to become reality and in many cases think that it is reality.
Anyway, item 3 is what prompted me to drop this post.

More than 1/3 of ideas I write about wake me up in the morning or night.  Here is the back story for this post in general.  There are many arguments in the debate between "theists" and "atheists".  Two of these arguments I have heard from someone I know.

There seems to be a great deal of bad logic going on around us.  I just pulled up about 5 sites (mostly .edu sites) to find fallacies and add them here so I can think through them for future reference... SO here we go:
This University of Texas Page is supposed to be a Fallacy Master List.  At 144, I would say it probably is.
I like this page because there is no scrolling required, but the names are flashy and might be a little confusing...

While these two samples seem to offer two extremes, Here is a site that provides an effective compromise
It looks like no discussion is free from fallacy.  I would like to see one so I know where to start.  Almost every approach to ideas fall into one of these categories
