You’re completely misrepresenting his argument, and countering it with evidence gender dysphoria is real. I don’t know too many people who deny that gender dysphoria aka transgenderism is very real and in the DSM-5. It has to be, because most of the people afflicted with it are unable to function successfully in society and are dependent on it being qualified as a mental illness to undergo hormone therapy and sexual reassignment surgery to receive government assistance or complete payment to afford the treatment.

If James or other were advocating (they’re not) that people afflicted by and treated for gender dysphoria should be harmed, or embarrassed, I’d stand with you in denouncing that notion.

The science tells us that humans are a sexually dimorphic species, meaning we’re either XX or XY chromosomal paired which has a direct correlation to being male/a man or female/a woman. There isn’t anything in between or outside of that dichotomy. Genetic mutations in the 1/1000000 range don’t create a new gender or sex anymore than dwarfism or albinism creates a new race of humanity.

“Transgenderism” as it’s used in common vernacular is undefined. It’s not something there’s an objective and quantifiable standard one needs to meet to fall under is umbrella. It encompasses men who want to mate and groom themselves as men, but feel they’re “different”. It includes women who want to dress like men, but biologically procreate like a female. And it includes every conceivable arbitrary and unqualified distinction one can consider. All in the name of finding a label that makes them special and deserving of privileged consideration. It has no direct connection to Gender Dysphoria, which has a long list of objective criteria to meet and diagnosis by a physician. It’s not something you can self declare and change by the minute.

What you or no one else can do is provide a definition and quantifiable statements to differentiate between male and female in the common vernacular of gender that tries to make it distinct from sex. In fact, all of your gender norms are directly associated with biological sex, further demonstrating the intellectual unimportance and consideration of evaluating the concept of “gender” using the scientific method. If it can’t even be defined, it sure as hell can’t be studied under the scientific method.  So unless you have a link to a Harvard site that defines gender to an objective standard, you’re really just talking philosophy and the aether. And if that’s the case, you certainly shouldn’t condemn those as bigots who are unable to accept on faith alone there exists this different spectrum of gender that they must adhere to and accept blindly. Cause there sure as shit isn’t anything scientific about that position. It’s the exact opposite - a faith based devotion in direct contrast to observable reality.

Women don’t have penises, because a penis is the biological organ of a man, and someone who we’ve labeled a male throughout every written language in human history until the past 5 years or so.

The transgender crowd wants to berate society into thinking two men with duck dynasty beards and a back as hairy as mine can have heterosexual sex with one another. If you have a Harvard study that attempts to qualify that, please provide it. But as the conversation occurs in society and across legal battles across the nation, the concept of transgender identity/rights and gender dysphoria has become lost in favor of tampons in Harvard’s men’s bathrooms, because “men have periods too.”  They don’t, and there’s nothing intellectual or researched in believing or finding a way to twist the English language to make it appear truthful.

I completely forgot what a huge deal Blair Witch was when it came out.  The other 4 you mentioned are timeless, but that one is definitely the odd ball. 

I'd vote Forrest Gump for "the" movie of the 90s, though by rights it should be Pulp Fiction as many others have said.

Wait, you intentionally left out Coma and Locomotive but kept in The Garden and Garden of Eden? 

And add the COVID angle.  Newtown had to miss practice because he left the state, and that's only a requirement for players who have refused to get vaccinated.  The NFL is saying teams with COVID positives that cause a reschedule from unvaxxed players will forfeit their games.  Newton was iffy at best as his capability as a staring QB.  Add in the risk Belichick takes of Newton testing positive and forcing all the QBs out of the game, and he runs a real chance of forfeiting a game.  I wonder how much more we'll see of this tomorrow morning.

Remember when Mitt Romney was declared a cruel mother fucker because he drove with his dog on a cage on the roof of his car.
