    Cool! Alan Turing decoded Enigma and was instrumental in destroying Nazi U-boats. Turing was arrested for homosexuality - which was then illegal in Britain - and was found guilty of 'gross indecency'. On 19 July 2023, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace suggested Turing should be honoured with a permanent statue on the fourth plinth of Trafalgar Square, describing Dr Turing as "probably the greatest war hero of the Second World War".

    Fear of being buried alive lead to putting bells on graves with a wire running down into the coffin that a buried-alive person could use to ring the bell as a signal to those above ground they aren't dead yet! In "The Premature Burial", Edgar Allan Poe spends the first half of the story relating real world cases of people buried alive before getting around to his fictionalized story.

      You need supplementation to avoid things like scurvy, but like... harm reduction.
      Like, people being so prideful about not eating the plant stone they didn't know, that they'd waste away.
      Like refusing to wash hands or socially distance or wear a mask if feeling particularly subpar.
      So yeah, tricking people into enjoying potatoes by making them the new forbidden fruit. People figured out how to enjoy it, and growing them is EASY.

    This is like saying "inventions by people while blue eyes" or "inventions by people with a 3rd toe that is longer than their big toe".
    I mean technically its a factual way to catagorize things, but its just a bit weird to do. Your skin color, sexuality, gender expression or anything else like that is irrelevent to how competent you are. It feels ___ist to use those catagories next to competency terms.
    I get that we are talking about positive competency here but isnt it the same fallacy? Using catagories irrelevent to competency when talking about competency?
    Wouldnt the best solution to be to not do that?
    The correct response to someone who is ___ist is to respond "skin color, sexuality, gender expression, ect are not correlated to competency.".... yet we then proceed to use them while talking about positive competency? Why are we using these terms when talking about competency when why ___ism is unfair because those things dont correlate with competency?
    I guess what Im saying is isnt it unfair in both dirrections? When you bring up someone's skin color, sexuality, gender expression, ect when talking about their lack of competence its ___ist because its unfair because those thing dont correlate.
    Yet when we bring up someone's skin color, sexuality, gender expression, ect when talking about their abudance of competence its somehow not just as unfair? Its just as irrelevent though?

      Bringing up historical contributions by minority and/or repressed groups is not a fallacy, it's a way of showing currently living members of those communities people like them in history as well as uplifting stories of people that were, most often deliberately, hidden, buried or obfuscated over time.
      There's a reason the vast majority of stories we're taught in school are about white, cisgender, straight, able-bodied, upper class men - and it is not because they were or are somehow more capable, inventive, inteligent or *insert a positive trait here*.
      Focusing on Black history of the USA, or on women's history, or on queer history, or disability history, and so on, let's us counter that bias.

    • @deirenne
      @deirenne 3 месяца назад +10

      Also, no, comparing straight historical figures to queer ones is not an equal comparison, because most forms of queerness were criminalized and pathologized for a lot of history. Same goes for comparing historical men to women in patriarchal societies, or for comparing historical figures of color to white ones in the West, you can pretend it's the same "in both directions", if one of the groups was [and still is] repressed, criminalized, marginalized and didn't have equal rights and opportunities, THAT is a fallacy.

    Trans-women & women have different pelvic anatomy. Men & non-binary people also have different pelvic structures & utilization.
    Discussions about gender identities must be taken seriously, as these definitions affect public spaces & others' lives. Pelvic qualities can be used to decide who can go to which bathroom or play in competitive sports.
    Identities aren't just words. They have lasting & irreversible consequences to those who choose to transition. People under 21 shouldn't be able to make such radical changes to their bodies - which often require surgery."

The word itself doesn't upset, it's people who allow themselves to be ruled by words.
