I was complaining about the "news".


Might have actually gotten worse.
There are respectable and respected journalists working all over the world for a variety of respectable and respected news outlets and media companies. There are also kooks, liars, fraudsters an morons publishing totally ridiculous stories on the Internet. I am content to get my news from the former. The kooks etc. contradicting them tend to reinforce my opinion that they are right.

The evidence shows us you get news from the latter. Let me give you an example.. the BBC's 100 genders

In that case you are saying 100 genders is not ridiculous.
There are roughly 36,000 sexes in fungi. Depending on how they are defined, 100 genders, is not a ridiculous concept. It only becomes ridiculous if you reject the definitions based on preconceptions.

And quite a lot of flavours of ice cream. Nonetheless there are just two sexes in human beings.
However my point was about the make believe imaginary genders and not the biological sex or ice cream.

Difficult to have a debate with someone who cant debate.

How many genders do fungi have? Not mush room for.error

Gender is a construct of society not biology. I can imagine you enjoying the company of toadstools, but fungi aren't known for their social structure. Humans on the other hand are. Given that society, not biology determines gender, there is no theoretical reason why there shouldn't be any number. It would all depend on how they were defined by the society concerned. Do you have the definitions of 100 genders to hand? Do you have a link to the supposed story you are quoting? Do you have anything at all beyond misplaced ridicule?

That is right, that is what I told you, but my question to you was about the 100 genders the BBC proposed.

Nor is ice cream, but but my question to you was about the 100 genders the BBC proposed, and is that right or are there many more or indeed none at all? Was that respectable or fraudulent news?

So you think it was wrong then for the BBC to suggest there are 100 genders when you think there are more and many people think there are just masculine and feminine?

Do you have the definitions of 100 genders to hand?
Of course not, they don't exist except in the mind of some people. Do you have them to hand seeing as you have suggested there are many? Tell me some of them, say 6 of them?
Do you have a link to the supposed story you are quoting?
Gave you the links several times, we already exchanged some posts on it a few months ago.
Do you have anything at all beyond misplaced ridicule?
serves you right, you should have addressed the question put to you, and you still haven't, so its not ridicule.
if you cant defend your own woke comments there isn't much point in debating with you; you have made your own wall and barrier

I have a life to lead. If you can't be bothered to link to the story you keep banging on about, I can't be bothered to look it up. I don't recall discussing it with you, but then conversations with you do not linger long in the mind.

We all have lives to lead, but I was only pointing out that your claim about reputable media was subjective. I just gave an example, that is all.

Notice once you trapped him/her to answer the actual question you asked, or maybe for Temujin it is he/she, they/them, zee/za, her/him etc., I don't want to offend, all of a sudden Temujin has a life?

So, you can't find the "example" you were giving, and were just regurgitating nonsense as usual. If you have an actual question, based on something actually happening, preferably in the media as that is the subject of this board, please ask away.

So I can find it, but we discussed it only a few months ago and I have a life to lead so you will need to either recall it or google it.

and were just regurgitating nonsense as usual.
I was pointing you to your nonsense, which you cant recall.
If you have an actual question,
It is.
based on something actually happening,
how would you know? If you have a point make it
preferably in the media as that is the subject of this board, please ask away.
Address the question or shut up.
here you go.
