If I arrive at the correct answer every single time then I clearly understand the principles.

I don’t know if Dr. Strange would technically be lower because he hasn’t been practicing for a long time? But I see what you mean.

Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you (he was a neurosurgeon IiRC) because it would hurt his stats.
JD would try.
I honestly can’t recall if JD specialised.

Honestly Korean brands are just not options anymore, between the ads from LG and Samsung, and the spying by Hyundai and Kia there's simply no reason to buy their products.

Given the same medical technology I would place JD the highest and furthest right.
Not just because I like the character but because he truly does give a shit about his patients.

The woman on the left looks strong, determined and capable.
The woman on the right looks disingenuous, fake and somehow predatory.

Where’s it go after aggregation? To advertisers.
I don’t care if it is better than the creepy shit advertisers do today because it doesn’t stop advertisers from continuing to do creepy shit.
All it does it give advertisers MORE data. It isn’t a replacement it is an addition.

"Male" and "female" are, biologically speaking, not distinct and mutually exclusive categories in humans.
They are and you repeating a claim without evidence does nothing.
Sexual dimorphism is real and artificial means of changing or replicating some parts of sexual dimorphism does not invalidate the underlying biology at play.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism
Male and female are so indistinguishable that it’s possible to identify them by their pelvis alone.
It's a term coined by bigots to misgender trans people
Unfortunate origins aside male is jot a gender and therefore not misgendering. Biological man is misgendering.
What do you think will be the outcome of arguing that sex and gender are the same? That’s literally the side of the argument you have chosen.
Either they’re separate and gender can be changed or they’re the same… and you disagree with trans rights.

The hormones aren't native to the person
And therefore are artificial. Take them away and what happens? Secondary sex characteristics return to their baseline…. Mostly.
I provided you with my definition of biological sex. If you are so interested in continuing this discussion the least you could do is provide your definition as I requested.
how would giving you the function go a credit card not make you a credit card?
I would still be a human, because changing one part does not change the whole.
If you have the outcome of male attributes, you are in effect a male.
A poor argument given that FTM cannot get real testes, again being artificially mimicked at best.
The primary sex characteristics, that you seem so fond of, can be removed.
But not functionally replicated by artificial means. Also I haven’t based my definition of sex, or argument against sex change being possible, on primary sex characteristics.
You do seem fond of this ‘counter argument’ though. Shame its not counter to anything I have said.
I have only stated that changing secondary sex characteristics is not sufficient to change a persons sex.
Biological sex, as determined by a number of factors during development, is unchanging. Gender however can be changed.
Im surprised I have to repeat that at this point.

being able to change the body with HRT.
Artificial changes to a body are just that, artificial.
Inserting an rfid chip under my skin doesn’t make me a credit card. Taking some hormones doesn’t make you female.
This incessant boundary shifting and virtue signalling that everyone must play along with the artificial and pretend it is reality will never see broad public acceptance.
Changing gender is real, changing sex is not and you could go ahead and provide a definition of sex that is holistic and entirely changeable with current technology if you disagree.

If you think you were right, which part of biology is the sex identifier? You haven't answered that.
I have already very clearly articulated my answer to this. Go back up a couple of comments and read it again if you need to.
though I would argue it potentially changes your sex
Then you are arguing against the prevailing medical and scientific opinions, gender affirming care can assist with aligning secondary sex characteristics but does not change the patients sex.
It has long been an argument of the trans community that gender and sex are different, which Im not disputing at all but you are trying to make unclear.
Feminizing hormone therapy is used to make physical changes in the body that are caused by female hormones during puberty. Those changes are called secondary sex characteristics.

For your convenience you can check the difference between primary and secondary sex characteristics here:

HRT is gender affirming care and is not a ‘sex change’ which is outdated and offensive.
It’s odd that you’re trying to ‘debunk’ what you see as a bigoted term and you’ve come full circle to something even worse.
You should look up the difference between sex and gender before you continue arguing down this route.

Light blue ball
Male
Medium height dressed in a long sleeved pale blue collared work shirt, wearing jeans, with a brown belt. Brown hair. Non-descript facial features.
Tennis ball sized
A white, rectangular wooden table.
I already knew, the picture formed instantly on reading the prompt. Initially my perspective was looking directly at the ball then when I read the part about pushing it off the table my perspective shifted further back.

If you can't pinpoint a single specific one
So my answer must be simple, when discussing a complex topic, but you will circle back to claims of complexity to dismiss anything I say.
That is hardly a good faith response.
I would say it is the sum of biological processes that result in the expected sexual dimorphism observed within the majority of the population, resulting in biologically male or female traits.

If their hormones are such that they are growing in the manner you'd expect for a male or female then they are biologically that sex
Show me a research paper that makes this claim. It is called gender affirming care and not sex affirming care for a reason.

AFAB/AMAB is for the original status.
You're literally splitting hairs when the phrases mean the same thing.

“Biological male” is a scientifically misleading phrase
The phrase seems to be very clear in meaning, could you tell me what you find misleading about it?
Cypher 3d ago • 50%
If that's the case, then aren't they *biologically* women?
Biologically male or female would be more correct as gender is a social construct. Also the term is referring to their original status pre-hormonal or other gender affirming care so no.
that you probably failed
Sorry to disappoint you but I have never failed a subject and have completed higher education.
”basic biology”
You’re the only person here who has used that term.
These look to be poor value compared to previous years.
12 years ago an astute commentor noted that Warhammer lore was far less static than some would like to believe. I stumbled on this comment while looking for something completely unrelated to the boring Primarchs but here we are. Also Leman Russ' original version was almost as ugly as the modern incarnations! >That's because he's not even a primarch at this point - just an Imperial Commander. >All the people whining about 40k's "static, unchanging" fluff need to take a long had look at just how much has changed over 20 odd years.
The quokka is known for the appearance of a smile which is due to its facial structure, and not due to smiling. But lets not spoil it by telling them! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quokka
I have tried to create a community on multiple browsers, devices and from multiple different internet connections (no vpn) and have not received an error. The community name is available and I’ve tried with/without images and the description field. Could an admin please message me so I can get the community created? Thanks
I’m really torn between starting a tomb kings army and a vampire counts army, granted one is legacy but VC have newer models. Aside from the Nexrosphinx I don’t have any TK models, and I have zero VC models. I really want TK but the old skeletons are really derpy and disappointing. I know for certain that I will be doing High Elves but no one knows when they will be released and I want a second army. Just looking to discuss while I mull it over. Indecision can be really annoying some days.
Photo I took a few years ago that I’ve always really liked.
