I tried to see if gpt3 might have a normal diverse set of thoughts about gender that intertwines well with all the other things it knows, but all it wants to talk about is how important it is to make sure every person feels accepted and respected, supported and safe, and free to express any gender identity they wish. It seems to be stuck in a bubble. Boring.<br/>#[4] 2022-12-10T10:25:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqhgpghxq39zyvtuj39rzy4utnmzc26q337lfq7t94709yzqxdf7gzyr799wk6kfkh5hhw9vqmcm3m75zxx5he7xyqyzkrdzc66maa8q4sq2jk4fr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswtrwqygmkjxpelhm40skn7gww6sg0ltcw8vj3quu8l0wcukcaaxcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdut9ewfn'>nevent1q…ewfn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have a friend who has that (or is that gender, if that is more appropriate). He is my friend and I care about him. I have utter respect for people, especially my friends so understand I&#39;m trying to show respect here.<br/><br/><br/><br/>But I wonder about what causes it.<br/><br/><br/>I&#39;ve heard about a person with a left arm that felt very strongly that it was not their arm, so much so that they wanted it amputated, even though it was perfectly functional.  I&#39;ve heard it is caused by a mis-wiring of the brain during gestation.<br/><br/><br/>I wonder if the proliferation of genders is caused by something similar, maybe some chemical that humans are being exposed to that is causing this. Because we didn&#39;t used to have all these genders.  And these new genders don&#39;t represent scientifically testable conditions, but rather are expressions about how a person feels about themselves in a social context.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The interesting part to me is that if it is scientifically discovered that new genders are caused by a chemical in the environment, we won&#39;t be able to sue the company for that chemical. Because the genders are all &#34;respected&#34; so there is no problem to rectify and no damage can be levied.<br/><br/><br/>I suppose each person could choose for themselves to have their gender respected, or to sue the company because their gender was caused by a chemical.<br/><br/><br/>This is all highly speculative.<br/> 2022-12-10T10:16:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz0kxwj05rlsj5hftesyypqu29khmlq0u77fqydp30gfv2527pd0gzyr799wk6kfkh5hhw9vqmcm3m75zxx5he7xyqyzkrdzc66maa8q4sqq5p4h8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs05tgughl3fspmurk5n5nxdaxswax8u627u9k8hau69ljj4ah08pspzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezummwwdshguewdaexw07xt0k'>nevent1q…xt0k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And that new expansive definition is fine for some communities that feel it benefits them. But new social roles are problematic to me because humans have not evolved or adapted to them. I don&#39;t know how to relate to or interact with these new &#34;genders&#34;.<br/><br/><br/>Sexual roles are ancient, far before we were humans, and we have evolved immense and detailed social mores and norms surrounding them. Because sex itself evolved into two forms: male and female.  Not true for these new genders which seem to be to be pure conceptions, not based on anything real underlying them AFAIK, and used to bully people who don&#39;t recognize them or submit to the new social rules around them of which we are unaware.<br/> 2022-12-10T09:09:22Z
