Very pretty. My thoughts go to a possible closeup or crop of the two on the front right or maybe the one by itself at the top left. They seem to be begging for the spotlight. Well done photos.

(General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk))

“Confusion” explained

Wyantry wrote:

A biologist has managed to clear up the genetic morass of SEX versus GENDER in an easily understood manner:

”. . . Are sex categories in humans empirically real, immutable and binary, or are they mere “social constructs”? The question has public-policy implications related to sex-based legal protections and medicine, including whether males should be allowed in female sports, prisons and other spaces that have historically been segregated by sex for reasons of fairness and safety. . .

When biologists claim that sex is binary, we mean something straightforward: There are only two sexes. This is true throughout the plant and animal kingdoms.

An organism’s sex is defined by the type of gamete (sperm or ova) it has the function of producing.
Males have the function of producing sperm, or small gametes;
females, ova, or large ones.
Because there is no third gamete type, there are only two sexes. Sex is binary.

Intersex people, whose genitalia appear ambiguous or mixed, don’t undermine the sex binary.
Many gender ideologues, however, falsely claim the existence of intersex conditions renders the categories “male” and “female” arbitrary and meaningless. . .

In reality, the existence of borderline cases no more raises questions about everyone else’s sex than the existence of dawn and dusk casts doubt on day and night. For the vast majority of people, their sex is obvious. And our society isn’t experiencing a sudden dramatic surge in people born with ambiguous genitalia. We are experiencing a surge in people who are unambiguously one sex claiming to “identify” as the opposite sex or as something other than male or female.

“Gender ideology” seeks to portray sex as so incomprehensibly complex and multivariable that our traditional practice of classifying people as simply either male or female is grossly outdated and should be abandoned for a revolutionary concept of “gender identity.”
This entails that males wouldn’t be barred from female sports, women’s prisons or any other space previously segregated according to our supposedly antiquated notions of “biological sex,” so long as they “identify” as female.

But “intersex” and “transgender” mean entirely different things. Intersex people have rare developmental conditions that result in apparent sex ambiguity.
Most transgender people aren’t sexually ambiguous at all but merely “identify” as something other than their biological sex.

Once you’re conscious of this distinction, you will begin to notice gender ideologues attempting to steer discussions away from whether men who identify as women should be allowed to compete in female sports. . . .” (Emphasis added).

The “poverty line” is raised higher since wages were raised the prices of products and services are increased , so the “poverty line” is increased. So who benefited other than the government who collects more taxes on higher wages and increased prices of products and services?

That was written by someone from a California university, why would anybody think it makes sense?

Because California is such an iconic state of wealth and so economically sound that they think they can push their prosperity down all of our throats.
