    Or transfolk. Or anyone that doesn't fit in his binary boxes.

    To be fair, I have a strong suspicion that any connection between TNC and sex is purely theoretical.

    @TheNomadCircle I'm pretty sure I'd be okay with grouping your "clan" together and nuking the shit out of them. As awfully prejudice as that statement was, I think the world would be better without more of your ilk, someone else can farm the date trees and interrupt my movies because it's Ramadan.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    that's... another thing than racism though

    but why would it necessarily do that

    Because historically when authorities get involved in telling people who can and who cannot make babies, that's what happens?

    Besides that, there is a direct association between socioeconomic class and infantile health. The poorer you are, the more likely you are to have a child with birth defects, the more likely you are to miscarry, the more risk your child has of infant mortality. Any attempt at eugenics targeting birth defects would by definition disproportionately impact the poor.

    There are much, much better ways to get the law involved in reducing birth defects than telling certain people that they can't have kids.

    My ideal utopian (dystopian?) eugenics is, like, a hidden baby lottery.

    Where the upon sexual maturity everyone has their eggs and sperm harvested and their tubes tied, and then when someone wants to have a child they go to the state for in-vitro and they'll be implanted with some ideal combination of genetic material. Have it be like a 50% chance that they got their own gametes, so it'll keep them guessing for the rest of their child's life!

    I maintain that everyone is a little bit bi.
    In the future we're all going to have cameras in our eyes and biometric scanners in our bodies. And every romantic encounter, and sexual encounter, every movie you watch, every time your eyes linger on somebody, every time your heart flutters...it'll all be recorded and it'll get fed into a computer and the computer will tell you exactly what your gay % is and what your straight % is.

    Alex Skarsgard is kind of weird looking. He creeps me out a little.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Have you designed uniforms yet? Snazzy uniforms are a requirement for every fascist dictatorship.

    Say what you will about the SS, but they had neat uniforms.

    That would qualify as Nazi sympathizing in France and you'd be facing charges.
