Ho-lee-shit!

You should specify “in humans” because, biologically, there’s a lot of species that can and do swap sexes. Not any mammals as far as I know, but it would help your case when arguing biology if you apply the most accurate phrasing possible.

No idea if you knew it was possible in other animals or not, just pointing it out.

There’s another thing that needs pointing out.

Biologically, a female labeling is based on a set of traits, with the word being defined by those traits.

Socially a female is a term defined by usage and tradition. Currently, female is indeed the term for any animal that is sexually dimorphic and matches a set of traits. But a woman is defined by a set of traits, that includes the traits of a female human, but also includes other traits.

So, both cis and trans women are women.

Well, transparency only matters on blahaj.

And making a post warning users of blahaj is transparency. It’s coming to users and saying : here is an administrative decision being made, here is the rationale behind that decision.

There’s no need to link, copy, or otherwise bring up the original comment when the decision is based on the choices of other instances. It would be nice yeah, but not mandatory for transparency.

That entire screed is a dogwhistle

You know, you keep saying the same thing over and over. You never respond to their point, or anyone else’s, you just pound away at your pulpit.

That’s not engaging in good faith, it’s soapboxing

I’ve seen bigger age gaps work out long term, but dang, not when the younger was still a kid in most ways. It comes down to there needing to be a certain degree of development of self before you can make a relationship be a meeting of equals where both people can move forward together rather than it being one leading the other (intentionally or not).

There’s really nothing you can do about it, though. Like you said, he’s a grown ass man and has to reap the crop he sows. If she’s legal there, and the parents aren’t objecting, there’s nothing that you can the that’s useful. You just hang back and see how it goes.

Treat it like you would if you didn’t like his choice in dating because she was stupid, or ugly. If he asks, don’t lie about your opinion, but don’t bother them with it either. Trying to force them apart is likely to backfire and at the very least could make them stick together longer than they otherwise would if it isn’t going to work out on its own.

People are allowed to make bad choices as adults. When it comes to family, there’s a limit to what kind and degree of interference is acceptable, no matter what the family member is doing.

You’ve had the unfortunate discovery that your son is likely an idiot about at least this matter. Could be worse.
