Although, what about their classification in America

I am not sure if they were documented as White or as to how they would get in if they weren't.

Yeah...you bring up an interesting issue here as Whoopi Goldberg found out recently, lol. I think this issue is complicated by the fact that Jews often look somewhat white i.e. can pass for it. Even consider an 'Octaroon' like Megan Markle: you can tell she isn't 100% white. I don't think you would be able to identify an 'Octajew' by sight the same way.

The genetic origins of the Jews are somewhat contested, but I do have some thoughts. I don't particularly buy the Khazar origins theory, it doesn't seem well substantiated. The theory that seems most likely to me is supported by studies that looked at different Jewish groups. Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, and Sephardic. While these groups are heterogenous, they all have some common heritage that appears to derive from ancient Iranian peoples, but mixed with different groups as the migrated. This seems plausible, and explains the Middle Eastern origins, as well as the light skin coloring (Persians from Iran can also be extremely light skinned). From what I recall, the Ashkenazi Jews also have a good deal of Southern European (Presumable Italian) ancestry as well, but can't remember the composition of the other groups. I think today's Jews are very likely 'whiter' than the Jews of the past, but I would still categorize them as Middle Eastern, as this is the cultural, religious, and genetic legacy that still defines this group of people today.

It says that if Judaism is considered a religion and a race, then it opens up the possibility of Islam, Catholicism etc. also being a race. If so, why is the former defined as one more often culturally?

I don't think Catholicism is ever in danger of being defined this way, and I have an explanation on the why.

Jewish as an ethnic group, and as a religion, are both valid concepts, but are different things - it is just an unfortunate coincidence that we use one word interchangeably like this. The ethnic Jews just managed to maintain a very homogenous religious makeup, and unlike Catholics, they don't really have missionaries trying to convert other ethnic groups to their religion. You can also have secular Jews, who are genetically jewish, and even culturally jewish, but do not follow/practice/believe in the religion.

You have ethnic Jews, and religious Jews, and there should probably be different words for these groups despite any significant overlap. However, there are few enough non-ethnic-Jews practicing this religion that this distinction isn't that relevant in many cases, and people just ignore the issue of secular Judaism by treating culture and religion as the same thing. Criticisms of Jews often conflate these things, and I think any serious discussion on this topic needs to be clear whether it is criticizing a genealogy, a religion, or a culture.

You want doctors and pharmaceutical companies to benefit from maiming and disfiguring confused and mentally ill children?

No, I wouldn't go that far, I meant for adults. If Bruce Jenner wants to mutilate his genitals and call himself Caitlyn, I think he is insane, but would not want to legislate against it. This is out of self-interest more than anything, as I don't want people making similar rules about my body like saying I can't smoke weed, or have to get a mRNA vaccine. I think to ensure that bodily autonomy is protected, we need to protect it even when we don't agree with what people want to do. I'll take Caitlyn Jenner and me being able to smoke weed and refuse vaccines, over Bruce Jenner and me having my rights restricted.

I don't want to be forced to hire someone with a mental illness that very well may affect business. I don't want to be forced to have to pretend a male boss is a woman. Those are the "rights" trans people want

Fair enough, I can see your point if the person is in a customer facing job. You should not be forced to hire that person. A job like mine typing code into a computer from home though, I don't think there is a good reason to discriminate against anyone. I'll admit this is maybe not as simple as I'd like, as you raise a good point. Also, again agree with your point about the boss, as I've said, I don't think tolerance includes us participating in this delusion.

What's even worse is this condition is sociogenic (I didn't make that one up). It spreads like a contagion. Another one of my niece's friends, a gay dude, is doing the whole pronoun thing now. It's so fucking cringey. Sometimes you need someone to pull you aside and let you know you're being an idiot.

Yes I think it can be. I have seen plenty of references of this being the case. However, there are referenced examples of females in tribal African societies taking on a male role, and even a wife, with the tribe going along with the game of pretend. That is not to say that this condition can not spread sociologically as well, as there is clear evidence that it can, as you say.

Jackalope · 2022-03-20T19:09:11+00:00

while people should tolerate a game of pretend Fuck no dude. That fucks with my head to see a dog and everyone calls it a cat. That's gaslighting 1984 style.

I hear what you are saying, and I think I may not have represented my position as I intended to. I do NOT agree with the compelled use of false/make believe pronouns, and think this is forcing participation in their delusions rather than tolerance of them.

When I say tolerance, what I mean is that I don't desire to legislate against people mutilating their own bodies - it's their body, and I don't see how anyone else has their rights violated by this. I also have no desire to limit the rights of trans people to gain employment or housing or any other form of discrimination. To me however, this does NOT mean that we need to participate in their game.

It must be part of his sexual identity as an attack helicopter

Jackalope · 2022-03-20T07:32:59+00:00

Okay, it seems like there is something to what you are saying about the motivation here. What about gay people in showers though? They are the correct gender, but could have the same motivation as this person for showering in a public locker room. Is the problem here that they are a man showering in the women's room, or any person showering in the room with a sexual motivation?

To me this is about expectation. I expect in a mens shower, that no women would be there, but would make no such assumptions about a gay person not being in the shower.

Are you going to acknowledge that he's a straight man, a heterosexual male such as yourself? And that he identifies as a lesbian? Are you going to acknowledge that 90% of these guys are straight guys such as yourself?

I have no idea. I also don't think it matters, they aren't women, so they shouldn't be showering in the women's room.

Jackalope · 2022-03-20T03:32:40+00:00

Catholic church and preists have 4% sexual abose case, none of them are Catholics... rabbis it is nearly 10% and probably higher... public school teachers is 7%.

Being a Catholic priest does in fact mean they are Catholic. You cannot dismiss the wrongdoings of a group by saying any member who does wrong is not part of the group, and therefore the group can do nothing wrong. This is tautological and absurd. You dont give public school teachers or Jews the same pass as a group by exempting the behavior of individuals.

His stated desire to shower with women is a sexual perversion.

It's not at all about how he identifies but is instead about invading women's privacy.

I suspect you might be right about this person, but it's hard to screen for motivation, and would this really make a difference to the women who have to shower with someone who was born as a man, and do not hold the same beliefs about the fluidity of gender?

What about a woman who is actually a woman, but is a lesbian, and desires to shower out of lust as well?

To me this is a much larger issue. There is a difference between tolerating something and being forced to participate in it, and I think that is what makes this problematic. This person is not actually a woman in the strict biological sense, and while people should tolerate a game of pretend, they should not be forced to participate in one. If society is going to have separate showers for males and females, people using those showers ought to be able to have the expectation that there will be only males/females in the shower, and should not be forced to give up that right. Otherwise it would make more sense to just have unisex showers and bathrooms, if we are all so enlightened now that we no longer care about this.

Bad diet, not leaving the house, porn addiction.

I feel like there must be something more to this psychologically...In all seriousness, I can't claim to be innocent of any of those offenses you listed, and I am completely baffled by the mental state of anyone who identifies as an 'otherkin'.

Jackalope · 2022-03-19T23:09:13+00:00

I don't think there's anything wrong with him. If acting like a wolf is what he enjoys and he's not hurting anybody then why shouldn't he enjoy himself?

You are right, that was a poor choice of words, and narrow minded of me in a way that is not consistent with my beliefs. I'll try again.

There is nothing wrong with this at all, I think I just have a hard time understanding this, and it leads me to be less empathetic than I would like to be. I would imagine that these people get ridiculed, and the fact that they are willing to put this out there anyway is actually quite admirable. However, the strength of their convictions about something so peculiar, only makes me more confused in some ways. We have psychological conditions like gender dysphoria, and the sociological nature of gender roles to give me a framework for understanding ideas about gender identity (even if I don't always agree with them), but I don't have a lot of context in which to understand the idea of 'otherkin', so it seems very strange to me.

If you truly cared about her then you would respect her right to live how she wants to live.

I do, I personally don't care what other people do when it doesn't violate anyone else's rights. I do not desire to stop people from becoming trans if they desire, nor do I want to limit their rights in any way. They should be free to live how they want.

However, I generally agree with what NoMorePatriarchy is saying here regarding forcing other people to use language and pronouns that conform to someone else's ideas about gender. I have no problem tolerating this, but demanding I use made-up nonsense pronouns like 'they' or 'zhe' starts becoming totalitarian. I am even willing to be respectful and not use the 'wrong' pronouns, (I tend to not use pronouns at all, and just use the name in these situations) but a sex change does not make anyone a woman in my eyes (I wouldn't have sex with one, and that should not make me a bigot).

Jackalope · 2022-03-19T19:22:44+00:00

he's forcing the whole world to participate in this fetish by conducting himself the way he does. It's no different than if he was a sadomasochist who forced everyone to call him "master" or "daddy".

Did you give this a lot of thought OP? Do you think a lot about kindergartners? Are kindergartners being taught "sex"? Even a kindergartner knows this post is idiotic.

No this is real, they want to start teaching about sexual identity starting in kindergarten, it is in the bill. The intent is that by teaching about this they will reduce bullying of 'queer' kids, but I can certainly see why parents might think this is inappropriate subject matter for kids that age

Well, I am disturbed by the idea that something someone says should be worthy of consideration due solely to the race and gender of the person saying it. The fact that the individual wearing this shirt has a somewhat vacuous look only makes this worse.

I would call myself an agnostic atheist

Wikipedia

Agnostic atheism is a philosophical position that encompasses both atheism and agnosticism. Agnostic atheists are atheistic because they do not hold a belief in the existence of any deity, and are agnostic because they claim that the existence of a demiurgic entity or entities is either unknowable in principle or currently unknown in fact.

Perhaps a bit of hyperbole I'll admit...I am certain that calling me religious would be inaccurate. I personally do not believe in any Gods, but that is based on skepticism rather than any certainty that Gods do not exist. Fundamentalist atheism I agree is 'religious' in its own right, because it is making a certainty argument based on 'faith' that Gods do not exist.

I also don't doubt the mRNA shots are harmful, but Peter Duesberg, Luc Montagnier and many other prominent virologists do not beleieve HIV causes AIDS or is anything other than a harmless retrovirus.
