State marriage only exists to manage procreative couplings.




But infertile opposite-sex couples could always get married...?




Also the state has other strong interests in deterring homosexuality.




Such as...?

Which, if I understand correctly, he also returned.


Were there any instances in which Mr. Biden either:


A: Denied possessing classified documents which he knew he possessed,


or


B: Refused to return classified documents which he was informed belonged to the government?

Imagine we had the technology to perfectly change someone's sex, and also had the technology to cure their GID (as in, they won't feel like they're in the wrong body anymore). From a Natural Law perspective, curing the GID seems to be the superior treatment.




From a 'considering second-order effects' perspective, 'curing' someone's mind to make them accept their existing body opens a slippery slope to those who do not accept 'Natural Law' to 'cure' their workers of the desire for humane working conditions.


Therefore changing someone's body, into a form which exists naturally (men and women both naturally exist), may forestall the un-natural transformation of human beings into something that does not naturally exist.




In any case, what is certainly not licit under Natural Law is to take a natural human and lop off bits of it




Again, that is begging the question of whether a trans person, prior to medical interventions, is a 'natural human'.

the right-wing attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade can be seen as a defence against a very questionable attempt by the left to impose their preferred policy decisions on states which would not otherwise have adopted them.




And Roe v. Wade can be seen as a defence against attempts by the right to impose their preferred policy decisions on women who would not otherwise have adopted them.

One could say that the household has been the smallest recognizable unit of government.




Which is why, like larger governments, it needs checks and balances.

This is taking a physically healthy and "natural" male and turning it into a defective and unnatural male: a male with no penis, no testicles, and a hole where a hole shouldn't be.




This begs the question of whether the patient was supposed to be a man or a woman. They could be thought of as having been born as a defective and unnatural woman, lacking the parts and capabilities she is naturally supposed to have; the operation would then be turning her into something closer to her natural form.


Admittedly she would not be entirely there with the current state of medical practise (e. g. unable to bear children); however, this is less an ironclad proof of the One True Ontology Of Gender and more of a Skill Issue on the part of surgeons.

Yes, we need more people saying that Americans' rights come from Congress and the Supreme Court (except when they overturn Roe or keep Trump on the ballot), and anyone who says otherwise (such as Thomas Jefferson, or the rest of the Founding Fathers, or pretty much any American statesman up until maybe half a century ago) is a dangerous, fanatical “Christian Nationalist” theocrat.




There is a big difference between




Our rights were written into the fabric of existence by the Divine Watch-maker/Great Architect of the Universe at the beginning of time. They apply to everyone, even when it is inconvenient to the State.




and




Our rights exist at the pleasure of a glowing biped in the sky. The dis-obedient/heretics/infidels/Northern Conservative Fundamental Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912 have no rights which we are bound to respect.




I suspect people are more worried are more about the latter than the former.




this was a generally Protestant Christian framework, with freedom of religion primarily being a truce between denominations not to use the state to settle matters of doctrinal differences




Thomas Jefferson would dis-agree.

important shared experience that connects all women for having been oppressed by the patriarchy as girls




I think this proves too much: would radical feminists consider someone born with female parts in a non-patriarchal society to be a woman?

from what I can tell from them, the concept of a society that isn't patriarchal might exist in fiction or fantasy




I was thinking of the society postulated in the pre-Indo-European--matriarchal-society hypotheses....




but one hasn't existed yet.




...and the radical feminists' ideal future.


"Assuming the ancient-European Mother-Goddess worship hypothesis to be true, would someone born with female parts in such a society be a woman?"


"If you succeed in your goals and remove the patriarchy, would your great-great-granddaughters be women?"

The number of times of a tragic misunderstanding, accident, or interpersonal dispute involving a fire extinguisher led to severe injury or death is functionally zero.




There is some dispute about that re the Capitol Putsch, which would fall under the most literal definition of 'interpersonal dispute'.
