  • That’s really interesting! So, apologies for the late reply, you sent me down an internet rabbithole.

    Two of my good friends are from Hungary, and in the nicest way possible the fact that there’s a rule for that doesn’t surprise me at all!

    One of them had a kid after moving here with her husband and deliberately named her something that they wouldn’t have been able to over there. It’s just a pretty normal ‘English’ name, but apparently in Hungary there’s a list of approved names for babies.


  • I’m just being silly. I have an MSc and my wife has a MA, so I promise there’s no ill will - they absolutely are as good as each other. (Honestly, if anything I think she wins out, as she had to write her dissertation by hand - mine was all on computer).

    In the same vein, an MD is just as much a doctoral degree as a PhD - it’s just in a different area.

    No one is getting hurt because of factual logical opposition. Trans women are not real women. This is a biological fact.

    Sorry, wrong on two counts.

    Although they’ve been used interchangeably, because typically they align, sex and gender are two separate concepts. I’m sorry if this offends you.

    Trans women are women (gender), although they are not biologically female (sex).

    These are facts. I’m sorry if this offends you.

    Tbh, it seems like you’re the main party here sticking their fingers in their ears. If someone has already identified Lemmy as a place that doesn’t welcome their prejudices, then would they still post that stuff here?

    Look, I’ll be helpful. If you want to dunk on trans people, go to Mumsnet - that place has turned into TERF Central.
