Lmao - did you just read two sentences and go off on one? Clearly didn't read my follow up post either.
...and yes you're still a rabid lefty - but as they say the truly insane never they think they are...
Not an LNP fan either, despise Neo-conservatism , Neo-liberalism, (it's their name ffs ) and think they're mostly a bunch of soft spineless cucks with no real principles....have about as much time for people who are guided by The Wealth of Nations, Atlas Shrugged & Fountainhead as those who are guided by Das Kapital...(in sum: stuff the Austrian School of Economics as much as the Frankfurt School) also a dyed in the wool atheist & lifelong republican -though admittedly when I ever I read or hear the cringeworthy takes on the subjects from the likes of you & Pirate Pete , I'm suddenly overcome with the urge to sing God Save the King & start attending church. :
As for you lot being "pro-science" I'd suggest like most ideologues you're pro the "science" that suits your worldview until it doesn't...(how many genders are their again science guy?), but do find it amusing though that the left are now Big Pharma's most loyal shills... Dunno what this "American style politics" you go on about is...yeah ScoMo was a bible basher in his personal life but didn't see many LNP policies really reflecting that.... so far I haven't seen any rigged elections and the government weaponsing the legal system against it's political opponents in any serious way, Albo's not senile(just stupid) and we don't have open borders - yet -guns were banned years ago - by a Liberal pm and it's not considered racist to expect people to prove their identity when they vote. No coke's been found at the lodge afaik ...although Dan Andrews is probably enriching himself through dodgy deals with the CCP and is probably considering making "misgendering" someone a hate crime so there's that and of course the blinding loyalty to Israel and allowing ourselves to be shaken down by the corrupt performance artist who runs Ukraine is pretty American these days I suppose....but apart from that most of the stuff I've seen described as "far right" lately was regarded as perfectly normal & mainstream opinions even as recently as 5 years ago.......
One man's insanity is another man's genius

Tempora mutantur nos et mutamur in illis. The world keeps spinning whether we like it or not. Our cemeteries are full of those and their old outdated views.
Science is the laws of physics, chemistry and biology and understanding how they apply to the universe from the smallest to the largest scales. It's not a conspiracy. As our technology advances and we gain greater understanding, our knowledge grows and advances too. Holding onto views be it religious, political or whatever reasons that the latest scientific evidence demonstrates has found to be false or at least incomplete is just dumb and dogmatic.
Gender and se-x are not necessarily the same. The latter is related to your se-x chromosomes (XY - male, XX - female, other variants - interse-x) and anatomy (internal sex organs and external genitals derived from them). Gender is more complex. It's an amalgamation of chromosomes, anatomy, hormones (relative levels of testosterone and estrogen), psychology (self-defined gender identity), and culture (socially defined gender behaviors). These elements occur at different points and environments in someone's human development starting in the womb.
In terms of biology, some scientists think it might be traced to the syncopated pacing of fetal development. “Sexual differentiation of the genitals takes place in the first two months of pregnancy,” wrote Dick Swaab, a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in Amsterdam, “and sexual differentiation of the brain starts during the second half of pregnancy.” Genitals and brains are thus subjected to different environments of “hormones, nutrients, medication, and other chemical substances,” several weeks apart in the womb, that affect sexual differentiation. This doesn’t mean there’s such a thing as a “male” or “female” brain, exactly. But at least a few brain characteristics, such as density of the gray matter or size of the hypothalamus, do tend to differ between genders.https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/how-science-is-helping-us-understand-gender/For the vast majority, these elements line up and the old school binary of seeing yourself as either male or female will apply. But they don't line up in these binary terms for everyone. Some people get a 'mixture', and while further data is required, this may explain why someone is say transgender. I don't see any logic in rejecting or dismissing a person because they were born a certain way they had no control over. I certainly don't see the behaviour of certain pollies who proclaim themselves as being "Christian" as following the bloke from Nazareth's teachings. More like cruel and ignorant social/political/cultural/religious conservative dogma that belongs back in the Middle Ages.
By the way, I don't subscribe to any of those economic philosophies you mentioned either. Too rigid and inflexible and more a reflection of the contemporary socio-economic time period each one was published in. While the maths behind financial analysis is interesting (eg: Black-Scholes equation === Heat-Diffusion-Convection equation in physics), economics is not a science.
Vaccines aren't some "Big Pharma" conspiracy. They save lives. Only have to look at what happened in Samoa back in 2019 when anti-vaxxers got to the population and caused a reduction in vaccination rates for measles. Next minute, a measles outbreak resulting in 83 dead with most of them being kids under the age of 5. Anti-vaxxers are scum!
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30053-0/fulltextSurely you're not pro-Putin then?
That gangster is on a mission to send Russia back to dark ages and wipe out as many Ukrainians in the process. His 3-day planned invasion of Ukraine is now over 500 days and with 240,000 casualties of his own troops and counting. Not that Putin and his criminal thugs care. The same thug regime that shot down MH17 killing Aussies.
ps. Our website host for some reason (anti-spam?) doesn't like the word se-x lol.
