This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Not in all senses unless there's a way to undo all the bodily formative processes that has been going since birth, after the change. I just read a report where a "trans" volleyball player, who were allowed to play in girls league, severely injured a member of opposing team (basically broke her face and caused severe concussion) because of his ability to generate way more force than any of his peers are able to produce or withstand. Even if you somehow stitch on a uterus and make it work, by some technological magic, there will be other differences that are relevant in other contexts.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant if he becomes a woman down to the molecular level, female bone structure, average female strength, etc. So no possible physical test could distinguish him from a natural woman.
Unless we invent time travel, I'm not sure it's going to be technologically possible any time when our current understanding of physical reality is in any way relevant.

Yeah, but if he still has a male brain in a female body? That is, a brain influenced/conditioned by male hormones, socialisation as a male, and all the rest of it?
Suppose we managed to transplant a cis man's brain into a woman's body. Is he now she? What if he declares that he is still a man? Is the only difference whether the person claims to identify as male or female?
If you have a man's brain in a woman's body and he still behaves and thinks and acts like a man, is he now a woman?
The idea of gender-flipping by getting a body of the appropriate sex from the start is an old SF fantasy, but I do wonder more how that would work out in reality. When I was younger, I thought it would work, but seeing some trans people online (and yes, I know that's not the ideal), I think there is much less easy change-over than the idea posits. What about trans women who want to keep their 'girl cock'? What about the likes of this person?
