But it's sort of where I'd put the concept, I'd have to remember a lot more before I could come up with more DSM stuff

I'm just sharing that from the outside you seemed heated for zero reason, and then you felt you were being attacked by me for that.
I can only share what I thought from my perspective, and it seemed out of character for you. If that's not accurate that's fine, I was just checking in.

Chicken pox is varicella-zoster but in the herpes family so it at least can play dumb

Now, this one could theoretically happen anywhere but we'd lose the iconic mask throw
These were all necessary for demonstrating my point and not an excuse to watch Bananas videos

But it's kind of neat to know because of some of the weird behaviors it demonstrates!

But I'm not a lawyer and this EO itself is more performative than not.
But I'm of the opinion that the jokes aren't bad even if they're not productive. They're releasing steam. And nothing we say will change their minds. We did have more discussion about this in another thread that was more serious but personally I'm waiting for the further action before I figure out what to do about it.
ETA: The goal is to overwhelm us with chaos and laughing off the dumb, making fun of the Sacaramuccis as it were, is how we survive with our souls intact, IMO.

In short, this is why it's really helpful to not assume the experience and knowledge of everyone else, not to use clickbait headlines and to leave explanatory comments on the topic when possible. Because even if everyone here were techy not everyone would have all the context being assumed by the title and article
Just my thoughts.

As in, agreeing with your post and adding another angle to the "dumb" of it all.
I didn't interpret any response to you as an attack or a correction and I thought it was obvious you felt that way which is why I spoke up. It doesn't look like you're defending a point or criticizing a biologist's logic so much as dying on a very unnecessary hill. We've got much better hills for you to die on in this fucked up world. /J
Just offering a different perspective and hoping if nothing else you'll talk out the intent of the original comment(s) that upset you with that person rather than presuming an attack or correction.

But right now all we have is an executive order and not regulation or legislation to back it up and it's not really clear what any of it ultimately means.
I'm not binary and demi gender. I'm also 100% able to fall back on binary pronouns and not want to kill myself. I am lucky.
But sometimes to survive through the dark you make some jokes
Also, there are other reasons besides chromosomal disorders that sex is more complicated, And their inability to write this executive order in such a way that no one is excluded from the categories listed that they claim are universal and immutable is proof of that.

At some point it looks like you're actually arguing the point rather than sharing the administration POV, or that you really think "Undefined" is more valid than "everyone is trans/non-binary/female."
If you could be clearer about the fact that you're speaking within the hypothetical fucked up scenario the administration is proposing that might clarify your point and reduce some of the arguing.
I think the response you're getting is from this sort of devil's advocate sort of angle you're taking and I know personally I'd rather people share their thoughts, not what they think Trump thinks, but more so it seems like it's being really frustrating and I don't perceive you as a typically hostile/frustrated person, especially around topics of sex/gender/etc. so I am figuring that this isn't working for you either. And if there's a dry humor happening it just doesn't seem to be landing!
Not the boss of you by any means, just noticing this and wanting to help nudge you as someone that appreciates your posts generally.
So i'm not frustrated with DEI programs. At all. I'm asking which thing between those two you meant?
I'm not going to get into how diverse hiring practices and cultural competency are what allow companies and agencies to actually hire the most talented people and that white people aren't discriminated again by having DEI trainings.
Also as noted, this language was required.
