Post your Controversial Opinions here

It’s not difficult to fathom. Traditional gender roles come with a lot of baggage and expectations, particularly for women. Folks don’t want to be burdened with that baggage and meet those expectations, ergo “non-binary”.

The distinction itself is one of expression rather than biological. It may be that you choose not to accept that particular expression as a particular gender, but it’s not hard to understand.
Of course, it can only be expression, as it's impossible biologically... understood. How one would think expressing themselves as neither gender would bring less "burden," is not.

"Burden" is the problem. Nowadays, it seems few want to burdened with much of anything: respect; consideration; common sense. I can jot a long list like this... we both know it's true. Many would rather "punk-out" than deal with it. "It's too hard." It's a burden.

Don't get me wrong, as a human, I believe we have infinite potential, and can do and be whatever we want. We are marvelous beings. But, being chicken sh** is not something where I place any value.

Agreed. This is something that people have to face in a very real way as adolescents have to go through the process of consolidating their identity, which often includes gender expression.

Lots of gender norms are bullshit. Is it chickenshit to reject them?

I'm sure you can stretch your imagination sufficiently to figure this out. When I grew up, there were butch girls and fem boys. In some cases romantic interests aligned and in some not. It's all just vernacular. Folks these days call that non-binary. It's not "neither" gender as you wrote, it's just not aligned with the gender binary, at least in terms of expression.

If that's the way that folks want to identify and it's not harmful, then I'll roll with it. It shouldn't be anymore difficult to refer to these folks with the proper vernacular than to refer to me as "sir" if we ever met in person. It might grate for a second, but you'd come around.
 
Much like the COVID thing, this is an area that’s rife with misinformation. There is no “LDL hypothesis”. The science is settled, but unfortunately difficult to understand. As such the medical community has oversimplified it as “LDL bad” which is pretty easy to refute.

Can you, for example explain to me necessity and sufficiency as it relates to logic? I doubt it. That’s not a slight as it’s a concept I’d have a difficult time explaining to you. However, it is a logical concept necessary to grasp the function of LDL, other atherogenic particles and inflammation as it relates to the accumulation of plaque burden, which in turn leads to a greater probability of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE).

I won’t give you heat for having that opinion about how you approach your health, but if you attempt to pass it off as sound medical advice, I’m going to jump all over it.

This is what I’m referring to when I say the cholesterol hypothesis.

I don’t believe the “science is [ever] settled,” and personally think that’s a dangerous position to take.

That statement implies that the case is closed, and no further revision / new information will change the consensus opinion, which is the antithesis of “true science.”

I could probably explain to you necessity and sufficiency as it relates to logic, but it would take me way more time than I’m willing to spend lol.

Nothing I say on this board is intended as medical advice. I’m not a medical professional. I’m not qualified to give medical advice. Furthermore, no one should be taking anyone’s opinion on this board as medical advice. Especially not in a thread called “Post Your Controversial Opinions Here.”

Ok, back to sleep I go.

No, it's not, it does take guts.

I admit, I'm not fully educated on this, as what I understood it to mean is apparently incorrect. The way you explained it makes sense. Also, I will further educate myself... I owe it to those who have the guts to express themselves.

If that's the way that folks want to identify and it's not harmful, then I'll roll with it. It shouldn't be anymore difficult to refer to these folks with the proper vernacular than to refer to me as "sir" if we ever met in person. It might grate for a second, but you'd come around.
I'll roll with it too. In fact, I've been rolling with it... by default, it's my belief respect is warranted towards others, regardless of their beliefs... their "identity." However, better understanding a fellow human's view makes it less of a "burden." ;)
 
Okay. What possibilities exist for the military? You have a thing, an mRNA vaccine that the military developed as a weapon. First and foremost, it's neither cheap, nor easy to develop. Further, it's not easy to deliver. The enemy will need to have been inoculated with a vaccine that degrades very quickly and requires special measures to preserve and finally, it's very, very difficult and expensive to develop an mRNA vaccine, especially one that doesn't immediately get neutralized by immune cells.
I've got quite a few friends and family in the military and they tell me all the time that they marvel how much waste there is with government projects. Billions of dollars wasted on projects that get shelved or even cancelled. mRNA tech was funded in 2012 by DARPA (check out the PDF I attached in my OP) and so they've been quite invested in this tech for awhile.

mRNA jabs deliver modified RNA sequences straight into cells using a thin layer of lipids This wall of lipids keeps the modRNA protected from being broken down. Further, the messenger RNA itself has uracil swapped out for "pseudo-uridine" which also increases resistance to being broken down in the body. It's fascinating stuff and very scary at the same time. The technology exists to turn our cells into protein producing factories.

My issue with this technology is that there is no way to control which cells are making the proteins, how much of it, and for how long. It's just a giant internal uncontrolled chemistry experiment.

Even worse, the modified nature of the RNA strands is using pseudo-uridine and some researchers think that could cause "frameshifting", which means that random or partially folded protins are produced instead of the acutal intended protein enscribed by the RNA. Not sure about you, but I don't want my cells making invalid or partially folded proteins and having them floating all around my body.

How do people really know what messenger RNA they are receiving? The government's approach of "just trust me bro" and "safe and effective" just isn't enough reassurance. Not with new gene therapy products.

And by the way there is self-replicating mRNA tech as well, that can transfer itself from one host to another via shedding. Self replicating also insures that it says in the host much much longer. I don't know the mechanism of how it does this, but Japan just approved some new jab that uses self-replicating mRNA tech. There are also published papers that spike proteins actually do make their way into human sperm (this paper was recent I believe). I can cite these papers if you're interested.

The Covid19 jab program in the US was a giant clinical trial. Each of the various brands of the jab had different amounts of modRNA. Why did they do this? Why wasn't there just a single jab for everyone? Because they were studying it. Human test subjects.

All for what? The ability to stimulate the synthesis of particular proteins? What possible outcome would the military hope for? There are a host of other biological agents that could be used if there weren't treaties in place that would preclude the US military from legally doing so.

Like most conspiracy theories, this doesn't pass the Occam's Razor test.

Millitary applications are endless. Most of them are defensive obviously, but could be used offensively to clear out a small hostile area by deploying self-replicating mRNA. That person would shed the RNA to other people and over time it could be a stealth effective weapon.

Deploying a mRNA jab to a high value target could neutralize the threat yet remain completely undetectable. For example, let's say a person was shot with a dart that had mRNA that caused proteins to be produced that thickens the blood. That person would eventually have a heart attack or stroke. Nobody would even suspect anything and I doubt an autopsy would be able to detect it. The possibilities are endless which is what is so scary about it. And then you could even combine modRNA with CRISPR tech and do gene splicing and uptake that into the cell nucleus and actually change the DNA of the host.

I'm just theorizing, but a lot of what I'm saying above is actually possible based on papers I've read.

I’m glad trump won, but serious question - if Trump is bought by billionaires, who is Kamala controlled by? Deep state? Lizard people? Or same people you believe trump is controlled by?

same people, they wanted trump in to appease the masses because they have faith in Donald Trump. If Kamala won, people would be more restless and critical of government decisions. Now people will sit back and kick their feet up and trust Trump to do the "right" thing.
The candiates are just there to make people feel that "democracy" works, just there for either side to feel like they "won".

the republican party only exists to give the people who don't agree with the rapid changing of society a "win" every few years. but it keeps on going that way regardless of president.

its an illusion of a tug-of-war but in reality it is like a train from A to Z, and the passengers don't want to go to destination Z, so every once in a while a republican is the conductor and comes over the PA to say "don't worry, I don't want to go to "Z" either, we are going somewhere else" , and reduces the trains speed by 20%

They sure do. For example, these expectations that men protect and provide for their families are exhausting. I had to take a second job to move my family to a nicer, safer community with better schools.

Would be so liberating to shed all that masculine responsibility and embark on a non-gender conforming path of whimsical self-indulgence while everything crumbles around me.

Not a bad take, imo. Personally I want to believe that Trump is less controlled / affiliated with the deep state / them / they / whoever the fuck pulls strings, but it wouldn't surprise me if that isn't true.

It's all a scam!

LMFAO
Made my morning! I know you're kicking ass for your family and relish in the responsibility of taking care of them. But, sometimes it doesn't hurt to be a little cynical. ;)
 
C'mon bro, @Liter O' Test is on the money with this. "Less controled?" Why do you think Trump sucks Putin's balls every chance?
Lol that’s why I said I want to believe! But it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Nothing surprises me anymore…hence, it’s all a scam!

Regardless, I’m happy the train is slowing down for a bit but I agree we’re still on track to go to destination “Z”
