starbucks sells ice water for 25 cents! they give you a venti (you can ask for a trenta if you want more water and it’s the same price!) cup and fill it up with ice and fresh drinking water. i get them all the time.

it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, but homelessness is a serious issue in the coming summer months and ESP in places like my state where the drinking water tastes atrocious so i figured i’d give you guys the heads up. having fresh cold drinking water makes a huge difference in 105+ F temperatures. water bottles can be expensive – you really can’t beat 25 cents.

Well your description says you’re 18 so no you’re not, you’ve taken biology courses at the very most. Congratulations, so has literally every person in America and pretty much all of Europe. 

“ and the thing about how humans conceive sex is its totally constructed.”

Every concept is constructed, biology in its entirety is constructed based on current evidence and scientific understanding. So is something isn’t valid because its “constructed” then you’re out of the fake job you just made up. 

“transphobes try to bring science into it but science is entirely against them.”

Which I’m sure I will be quoting this sentence later for the irony. 

 “the fact is,”

Alright, we all know you made up a fake position for yourself to try and present yourself as an authority figure to give your nonsense more credibility, but now on top of that you have to add how what you think is a fact before you even say it. Where have I seen this before? 

 “in biology sex is defined exclusively by production of gametes (in humans, sperm and egg). THATS IT.”

No fucking shit, and testicles produce sperm and ovaries eggs. So you just admitted it has to do with genitalia regarding humans. 

“when humans discuss biological sex, we tend to be talking about genitalia, hormones, secondary sex characteristics, etc.,”

Yes, because genitalia produce gametes by your own admission you idiot. 

“and while there is a correlation between all these things, that correlation is statistical, not inherent.”

Congratulations, you just defined what the fuck correlation means. Just like humans having two legs isn’t inherent either. We’re still a bipedal species. 

“Those traits are housed on different genes, and the point of sexual reproduction is that it brings genetic variation, and intersex people are the proof that biology works in a way that often (as in, hundreds of thousands or even millions of individuals) breaks that correlation.”

Genetic mutations, just fucking say genetic mutations. 

 “And people always respond to that with “oh but intersex people are flukes””

If you’re going to pretend to be a biologist at least use the proper terminology, its fucking genetic mutations not flukes you plebian. 

“but that shows a basic misunderstanding of biology, evolution is not a striated path but a constant process and flukes are the MECHANISM BY WHICH EVOLUTION WORKS.”

NOOO….. Genetic mutations filtered through natural selection are the mechanisms by which evolution works. People are born without limbs, with extra toes, with webbed toes, with stone like skin, but those are not advantageous traits so they’re weeded out and don’t procreate enough to be evolutionarily survivable. They will continue to pop up, but they will never populate enough to create their own evolutionary path. 

“there is no such thing as a wrong mutation,”

Yes there is you moron, does the mutation have survivability? No? Then its wrong and will die off. Seriously, read a fucking biology book before trying to pass off as professional. 

“mutation is random and sometimes increases and sometimes decreases fitness,”

Survivability. 

 “but the fact is that the way we conceive of biological sex in heteronormal society has NOTHING to do with science.”

Except for the fact that males produce sperm and females produce eggs which reproduce and biological sex has everything to do with reproduction. 

 “the traits we equate with “biological sex”, like genitals and secondary sex characteristics are not actually connected to the scientific concept of sex by anything but probability,”

Except for the fact that genitals, which produce the gametes also produce hormones which affect all those things. And how DNA is what determines which genitals you have and being that humans are a sexually dimorphic species the DNA of males and females does differ. Which again this is hilarious because your argument is literally that because males and females have variation and aren’t carbon copies of each other then male and female sex are social constructs when you admit that reproduction inherently produces variation. So yea, its about time for this.  “transphobes try to bring science into it but science is entirely against them.”. Just change “transphobes” to “left wing tumblr identity politics retards.”

“and how humans in western society generally conceive of biosex is not based in science but actually in social constructions that were entirely caused by a LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE.”

First off, work on your damn English. Second they got it exactly right. Females=eggs males=sperm. That’s it, two aspects necessary to reproduction. That makes sex binary, and since gender is based on sex it is also binary. 

“basically what I’m saying is if you think trans people are lying, fine,”

Completely off fucking topic. You’re lack of understanding of human biology and the validity of dysphoria are not related. Which BTW if this was the point you were going after psychologist is the thing you want to pretend to be. You know, just for future reference. 

“but don’t try to bring science into it,”

For the love of god take your own advice before listening to you lowers my IQ. 

“its against you and you’re running out of excuses to be a dick. “

BY TELLING ME MY SEX IS CONSTRUCTED YOU’RE FUCKING TELLING ME I DON’T NEED TO TRANSITION BECAUSE I’M ALREADY IN THE CORRECT BODY

Grapes contain a  a special molecule Anthocyanin that prevents freezing, so you’d keep ending up with grape milk. Many ice cream companies and manufacturers have made bold attempts at grape ice cream, hardly any of them successful.

But then, finally, those geniuses at Ben and Jerry’s did it. So why don’t we have grape ice cream?

Here’s the thing: Ben confessed in a People Magazine interview in 1984 that he had a huge crush on Becky and promised to create the flavor just for her. Knowing the history of grape ice cream, she coyly requested it, thinking it to be impossible. Ben began to include the grape skin and juice to better see the differences between batches. While he didn’t understand the science behind this at the time, he found that including the skins increased the levels of anthocyanin enough to make the ice cream freeze. “Becky was impressed,” he remarked, “We were at her house, alone. I gave her the scoop – on a cone. I was really getting somewhere. She was laughing and happy. She couldn’t believe I did it. I’ll never forget what happened next.”

“Becky jokingly gave her dog a lick from the cone. He liked it and took a couple of licks. Then he just gasped and dropped dead. He flipped down onto the floor and was just gone. I had no idea grapes are toxic to dogs. Specifically to the anthocyanin. Becky was devasted. I had invented a deadly dog poison, and I definitely wasn’t getting anywhere with her now.”

Yeah.
