We still are, the pressures and traits for reproductive success are just unintuitive.
I think most of the problems we have in society are from isolating and ignoring these communities.
Police think everyone is a crook. Doctors think everyone gets cancer. Mechanics think that every Nissan rogue will have its transmission fail at 100,000km.
It's a perception bias. If I wanna change the mechanics mind, I need to get him out of the shop, into the real world. Let them drive around some rogues who's transmissions DO work.
We basically provide the tools to sequester these communities and are surprised what crawls out of the petri dish.
Anyone using 3 syllables may as well be the queen of England.

Url and at-at are solidly initialisms. SQL has a solid enough argument for being an acronym that I'll accept either.

Catch shit for it all the time, but at this point I think it's more like a harmless Easter egg.
My grandma rolls the R in "Three", and it's become a game to get her to say it. She handles it with great humor.
I'm cool to have my own version of that.
There might be consistency in his logic if it's predicated on women being lesser than men. FtM would make sense to someone like that, but MtF would be absurd.
I think a lot of trans hate is really just a manifestation of misogyny.
The internet has always been a grand stage, though. We're like 40 years into this reality at this point.
I think people who came-of-age during Facebook missed that memo, though. It was standard, even explicitly recommended to never use your real name or post identifying information on the internet. Facebook kinda beat that out of people under the guise of "only people you know can access your content, so it's ok". People were trained into complacency, but that doesn't mean the nature of the beast had ever changed.
People maybe deluded themselves that posting on the internet was closer to walking their dog in their neighbourhood than it was to broadcasting live in front of international film crews, but they were (and always have been) dead wrong.
I'd take odds that his mars ambitions are not only what you said, but that he didn't even organically come up with the desire. I'd bet he just saw Total Recall in theaters and walked out and was like "yep, I wanna be the bad guy from that movie"
In 24 hours as President Elect, was the promise.
