Also: Humans are not instinct driven to a large degree, we literally have evolved most of them away.

Sure about this? Seems implausible to me.

Meh. We're still a pile of instincts underneath the reason.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Reason is because.

Instincts just are.

Next?
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Emphasis on "large degree". We still have instincts, like irrational fears and fight/flight being some examples, just not to the extent compared to many other animals.

We have to learn from others on how to survive, while many animals have the instincts to do so without much issue. We have long evolved past having those instincts, instead opting for experience.

So basically put:

We're complex bags of meat. It's much more accurate to use terminology to reflect that complexity, especially for things like gender.

Nothing is black/white or 100% a binary in nature, even more so with humans because of our big meatbag brains.

The very fact we can't all agree on this, or talk about it without breaking out long essays on the matter is ironically a demonstration of that.  :tard:

Zebras?

My take on the gender war is that I identify as a male, you (and I mean "you" as in everyone else) identify as whatever the fuck you want.  We'll both go about our days happy.

As for bathrooms, there is standing up (the Express Lane of pissours) and there is sitting down (Premium).  If women are fearsome to share their space with male to female trans folk then we should deal with the underlying issue of toxic male aggression - which is what they are fearing (a man in a dress meaning them harm?) and that's a fight that transfolk would probably be happy to stand shoulder to shoulder on.

Cal mentioned people who make themselves plural, meaning people who reproduce, and it was misinterpreted as a gender reference so that's the direction the conversation naturally took.

Sarah Palin's got covid, the anti-vaxxing, science refuting fascist bitch.  I wouldn't wish harm on any of God's creatures, but that hell spawn can choke on her own evolution denying phlegm for all I care.

No. It was a gender reference, I fear.

Things had already moved in that direction

"not instinct-driven" suggest a thought process. That's where I don't agree.
