@jeffowski No one said anything about poor people... I refereed specifically to well-to-do middle class in my one example.

If your going to make up things I didnt say and then argue against those your just wasting my time.

@lonelyranger

Neither the left nor the right have any shortage of conspiracy theory nonsense.

> Again, it’s always a white Northern European guy that is defending the status quo because they are insulated from the problems incurred by their morally bankrupt views and philosophy.

Oh, who is that? I am not white (im native american), and I'm not norther European or even European... Thanks for that racist remark though, really shows your true colors.

@lonelyranger

It is always someone elses fault, or the fault of some group other than the person who takes issue...That is not a coincidence, it is also the root of the problem.

@jeffowski

@jeffowski

On average richer people donate a much larger percentage of their ownings to help the poor that middle-class well off people, but a pretty big margin.

So yes, and they **do** donate more, statistically speaking. The problem is not wholly theirs to bear however.

@jeffowski Incorrect, though it is a common perspective and I understand that you believe thqt to be the case.

That isnt to say that billionairs do no wrong, they do, right along with people at any income level.

@jeffowski Good post, not related to billionairs, but otherwise a good post I wish more people understood.

@johnabs hahah please do :)

@weberam2 What a cutie!

has anyone ever used the phrase "Your reputation precedes you" in the real world?

@teslanaut

> If a biological man...

"Biological man" makes no sense here. We have sex (ones DNA) and gender (ones outward expression). Both are biological, one deals with how you "appear" and includes both the way you act, dress, as well as the way your body develops. Sex is DNA and determined by birth and is not changed by surgery.

What I suspect you mean is "A person whose sex is male"

> identified as a woman but gets no form of surgery, changed nothing, didn't even take hormones. Would that person or should that person be affirmed as a Woman?

As long as they make an attempt to speak, act, dress, or present to the general public as a woman than they would be of the female gender. However if it isnt a complete change, such as them having male genitalia while otherwise presenting as female they are called "transgender" since their gender is a mix, or transition.

> That is transgender. Is a person who a transvestite a Transgender person?

Yes a transvestite would be a subtype of transgender. Specifically a type of transgendered person who only presents as the opposite gender WRT clothing.

> If the same person actually went through all the surgeries & and all that, that fits more with the Transsexual definition

No, if they actually have a compelte set of surgery they would not be transgender anymore, at that point they are the new gender.. so they would just be "male" or "Female" gender at that point and no longer transgendered. That said many may still adopt the term.

Also no Transsexual makes no sense if they went through a full transition or not since their sex remains completely unchanged. It is their gender that changed.

@teslanaut

> I've been in San Francisco my whole life and Transgender was never used until now.

Yea, people used to use transsexual, then they realized it wasnt accurate givent he definition os sex and gender so the term was updated to be accurate.

> The word Transsexual has been subsumed by Gender.

Right cause these are different words with very different meanings.. .It was replaced with a term that is more accurate.

> Also, when did the surgery go from sexual reassignment surgery to gender affirming surgery?

Same thing, since such surgery doesnt change your sex, and only changes your gender, it is a more accurate term.

> You say they're interchangable but it seems the former, as I said, has disappeared.

Sex and gender are **not** interchangable. They may be used that way incorrectly but they mean very different things. Transsexual and Transgender often is used interchangably because one word is intended to replace the other, the other is inaccurate and not a good term to use, but strictly speaking means the same.

@teslanaut As far as I know transsexual and transgender are often used interchangable. Transgender makes more sense however as a term since gender can be changed, but by definition sex can not.

@teslanaut By that logic why is the T there, L, G, and B are all sexual orientations, T isnt even a gender, it is a description ok one who is changing genders and is transient. It is completely unrelated to the other letters.

@retrohondajunki

Yea this applies mostly to people who filed and lied. Doesnt apply to non-filers who generally wont be pursued at all on lower income.

@QueenValhalla

@QueenValhalla

Thats about people who defraud when they file... I am talking about people who dont file, big difference by the way. If you lie on your filing they will absolutely come after you. If you dont file however they will only come after you if you exceed a certain expected amount as I said.

Sorry I wasnt more clear about that in my initial statement.

@retrohondajunki

@QueenValhalla

Ahh nevermind, I see you are in fact the asshole and just trying to troll... makes sense, carry on. Hope someone else can entertain you.
