@freemo that must be the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long, long time. Fills me with hope to see that some parents are willing to change their attitude out of love for their child's well-being. Just wish that was much more common.

This was a beautiful exhange seeing a mother go from angry to accepting their child's gender expression. I love it.

Interesting fact of the day: Webster's Dictionary in 1828 defined gender in much the same way as modern liberals define it, that being, ones expression of pronouns and does not strictly adhere to any sense of sex. In fact the dictionary definition at the time goes into some detail on that point.

So strictly speaking assigning ones gender based on preferred pronouns or expression of femininity/masculinity is in fact the traditional and historic usage of the word.

Here is a word-for-word copy of the text of the definition for gender in Webster's 1828 dictionary:

In grammar, a difference in words to express distinction of sex; usually a difference of termination in nouns, adjectives and participles, to express the distinction of male and female. But although this was the original design of different terminations, yet in the progress of language, other words having no relation to one sex or the other, came to have genders assigned them by custom. Words expressing males are said to be of the masculine gender; those expressing females, of the feminine gender; and in some languages, words expressing things having no sex, are of the neuter or neither gender

@Vamp898@social.tchncs.de Thats a common fallacy, you absolutely can.

If it is not known whether some assertion is a fact or not to a group of people, then people hold opinions as to what is the fact and what is not.

So in short determining what is or is not a fact is an opinion.

In this case we are dealing with something a bit unique though. In 2000 pluto absolutely was a planet, because the definition of planet was choosen in such a way to be inclusive of pluto. Some group decided to redefine that word, which is fine, but it doesnt change anything in the physical world.

@pschwede Claiming Pluto is not a planet is just body shaming for planets!
