Perhaps in the interest of playing devil's advocate, I don't think gender identity and astronomy are comparable to each other in regards to being falsifiable. Gender identity is an abstract concept that can vary across societies, generations and even an individual's perception of gender can change as he/she gets older. In contrast, the assertion that the Earth is a sphere and not flat can easily be proven without even venturing into space.

So... you killed the thread... for nearly a month!

Gosh darn it, nothing kills a conversation faster than saying something scientifically unassailable!

I killed the thread? I thought it just ran out of steam like most threads do.

I assume you're being facetious about my saying something scientifically unassailable. Am I correct?

Thread in general--

Maybe this will shed a little light on the topic of this thread:

Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles"

Maybe it's time for some to realize that, for all the politically-correct baloney around here, not much of it seeps into the mainstream. The opinions of small minorities are not forced upon the rest. And you should be thankful for that, for 5 million other special-interest minorities could do the same to you.

The filter bubble video I think presents a rather creepy and disturbing form of censorship. Censorship in of itself is bad, but I find it all the more troubling when it is done "for our own good."
