I’m seeing this argument more and more, not just on Leddit, unfortunately>”HRT changes sex!”>”I am no different than a cis woman!”>”There is no meaningful difference between trans and cis sexual characteristics”Good god, what a cognitohazard. I’m fucking tired, yall. How do they sleep at night always intentionally obscuring and downplaying reproduction, the most important aspect of healthy sexual characteristics? I know we all accepted that we’ll be more or less infertile but good god, we can’t change our entire sex. I would love to see the day, trust me, I’ve cried buckets over my lifetime mourning that I’ll never be a mom, or never give birth to my husband’s child, or even be chosen by 99% of cis men. Why is this ridiculous shit getting shilled every single day now? It’s like it’s not bad enough that everyone wants us dead, they have to keep poking the bear by spouting absolutely batshit reality-denying propaganda.

>>44222979Yes, and a lot of cis people are wising up to that, which is great.But I can’t grow a fucking vagina bro. What’s with the constant psyop to try to trivialize reproduction and genitals into irrelevancy?

>>44222967>>”HRT changes sex!”>>”I am no different than a cis woman!”I mean, HRT does legitimately change how your DNA is expressed. Their are still differences between trans and cis women of course (hence the distinction) but they're not as great as people seem to think they are.Many of us don't care about reproduction. My cis wife had a tubal ligation. Neither her nor I will bear offspring and that's a good thing given the state of our planet. Now's not the time to be breeding.> nearly 70% of global biodiversity gone since 1970> insect populations down ~75% in 50 years> humans + livestock now make up 96% of mammal biomass> poultry make up 71% of all bird biomass> dumping carbon into the atmosphere ~200x faster than past mass extinction volcanism> oceans absorbing the energy equivalent of ~5 atomic bombs every second> expect stronger storms, longer heat waves, and worse droughts> infrastructure increasingly fails under constant disasters> food production becomes less reliable and more expensive> parts of the planet become too hot or dry to live in> millions displaced, triggering mass migration> competition over food, water, and habitable land intensifies> more conflict, instability, and authoritarianism> increased risk of major war, including nuclear escalation>>44222986 replied to this post.

>>44223005Just because I exist doesn't mean I wish to continue the cycle just to bring life onto a dying planet to suffer.>>44223018The "world" has ended before. The Earth has experienced 5 mass extinctions that wiped out most of the life on the planet. We are currently driving the planet's 6th. I wrote an essay on this a couple years ago. I'll include some exerts below:>Now, I believe it is important to define what I mean by “collapse.” First, collapse is a process, not an event. It is a process that has been in effect since we have been alive on this Earth. Some believe that it began with industrialization, others think it was the Agricultural Revolution, while other others speculate that it began when we ventured out of Africa or even when we came down from the trees. When it started doesn’t really matter. The important thing is that it started and that it will likely continue barring a radical departure from the status quo.>For us, collapse means a steady decline in our material conditions, perhaps followed by a sudden, precipitous decline. The causes are numerous; however, they all stem from our populations’ growth and our increasing levels of consumption. It’s a bit like the boom-and-bust cycle in economics. Periods of rapid growth are followed by periods of rapid decline. Our species, around for some 300 thousand years, did not reach 1 billion until 1804. In a mere 220 years, it octupled to over 8 billion.
>>44223034Essay exerpt continued:>As our population has grown, it has consumed more and more of the Earth’s natural resources. Some of these resources, namely carbon, the fossilized remnants of ancient sunlight, are what allowed us to grow our population exponentially.>Along with that growth in numbers also came a growth in per capita consumption. Those of us in the Global North consume far in excess of what is available to us on this planet. We have overshot Earth’s bounty. I say this being completely guilty of this level of consumption myself. I have altered many of my habits, but my wife and I still live like Americans. We drive carbon-powered cars. We order superfluous gubbins online. We DoorDash meals that come covered in plastic via the same carbon-powered cars. We keep beloved pets who survive thanks to a cruel and carbon-intensive system of mass birth and mass slaughter. Going vegetarian thankfully creates distance between our own consumption and this system, but it doesn’t completely absolve us. We still consume some animal products, not all of which come from local farms. We live in a completely unsustainable manner. A lifestyle that will not and cannot be continued in future generations of humans.

>>44223039Continued:>Let’s discuss some of the effects of our highly consumptive lifestyles. First, I’m sure I don’t have to explain climate change and the greenhouse effect to you. You know that burning fossil carbon (I don’t use the term fossil fuels, as it presupposes that we should think of these deposits as fuel), either to power cars, create electricity, or even to produce nitrogen to fertilize crops, contributes to the warming of our planet. Our global civilization is built on these fossilized remnants of ancient sunlight. We ourselves are the products of fossil carbon. Much of the food we eat is fertilized through its products. Transitioning away from using fossil carbon will not be possible without significant sacrifices and changes to our lifestyles. We have been sold a lie when it comes to the promises of electrification.>While it is true that solar panels, windmills, and other “green” energy are preferable to burning fossil carbon, they cannot entirely replace their use if we intend to continue living as we currently do. Nor are these forms of energy entirely renewable. While the sun and wind are practically infinite, the tools used to capture their energy output are not. Like with fossil carbon, the extraction of materials needed to build these tools require the destruction of habitat. Destruction is a pattern in this narrative that I will return to later. However, it is true that even with the growth of “buildable” energy (a more fitting term for renewables), we have still yet to reduce our consumption of fossil carbon. With the proliferation of highly consumptive technology like AI, we are likely to require far more energy in the future.

>>44223067Last bit:>Of course, this is all happening as we breach 1.5°C warming for the first time, the threshold that the Paris Climate Agreement was supposed to keep us below. All the while, the rate of warming appears to be increasing due not only to our emissions, but also possibly the passage of certain tipping points, and, curiously, the reduction of some emissions. I won’t go into too much detail here. This is already getting kind of long, but I recommend reading some of the climate scientist, James Hansen’s work. However, I can touch on it briefly.>For example, there are numerous tipping points described by climate scientists. These are occurrences that are likely to happen should we pass a certain level of warming. We may have already passed some of these. Unfortunately, once triggered, these tipping points are likely irreversible, and they will contribute to more warming, regardless of whether we stop emitting carbon or not.>One example may explain a recent and alarming increase in atmospheric methane. It appears that our warming climate is beginning to thaw microbes. Once thawed, these microbes release methane into the atmosphere. While methane does not persist as long as carbon does (it degrades into carbon and water vapor, also greenhouse gases), it does contribute to many more times the warming of carbon. This is just one of many more tipping points described by scientists. We are headed towards many more. Google “AMOC collapse” for an especially alarming example that is predicted to happen within our lifetime.
>>44223072I was actually a high school teacher when I wrote this :)
Disgusting breeders don't even consider infertile women as women because they can't serve as docile obedient human incubators without any agency. Capitalism, wars and grueling labor need more victims, you see. We can't let the birth rate fall - what will the shareholders do??
>>44223080That's kinda sad, it reads like some slop some teen would write.No sources, nothing, easy to tell you've had no scientific education. Just sweeping statements.
>>44223080Guess we should all just kill ourselves and each other then.Are you doing regenerative farming?
>>44223083Uhh I’m pretty sure i consider any female to be female, regardless of fertility.
>>44223096I link sources on the blog I posted it on. I originally wrote this as a letter to some friends in order to explain the concept of collapse. It's not meant to be exhaustive. I titled essay, "A Layman's Guide to Collapse" when I posted it.
