So I read this super interesting article related to the science of sex and genders and how it works. It was really fascinating honestly to learn all of it from a scientific point of view and see how it all changes with slight hormonal shifts and deviations to the balance. I will post the link for those interested in checking it out, however there was a part of it I really wanted to put on here that I feel is super important and that should never be forgotten.
"Before you discriminate against someone on the basis of 'biological sex' & identity, ask yourself: have you seen YOUR chromosomes? Do you know the genes of the people you love? The hormones of the people you work with? The state of their cells? Since the answer will be obviously no, please be kind, respect people's right to tell you who they are, and remember that you dont have all the answers. Again: biology is complicated. Kindness and respect dont have to be." Quoted from the article I read not written myself.
This is a great quote and one to really think about before you attack someone for being male, female, non-binary, trans or anything else. You have not looked at their genes under a microscope and are not qualified to make snap judgements about who they are saying they are. If they look perfectly female yet say they are male, then believe them and refer to them as such. It costs nothing to be be kind and polite to people. However it costs everything and burns bridges and oppertunities when you are harsh, mean and rude to others that, maybe not now but later in the future, may come back to haunt you in ways you will never see coming as Karma is always watching and she is a bitch and never plays nice to those who are mean and nasty to others. Have compassion, understand others points of view, see where they are coming from and help where you can. If someone is being mean and offensive, rather than react and lash back the best revenge, is do nothing at all.
People want you to react to their outbursts and when you dont react and walk away you are winning overall as they get no reaction, no fight and you are not hurt because what is the point of listening to people who are mean, rude or nasty when they are obviously doing it for attention, or do not understand the context in which something was said and rather than become educated and deal with the issue civilly they react poorly and choose to attack others in order to feel better themselves. Do not be mean to them, feel bad they are uneducated and try to help them always. Education is the best defense and can help create peace.
