Hmm it was actually quoted from another paper (Blackless et al., 2000, p. 161) -

Reading "How common is intersex? a response to Anne Fausto-Sterling" by Leonard Sax. It mentions true hermaphrodites that occur in 0.0012% birth. Does anyone know what is the definition of true hermaphrodites there?

That's a good point, and it's bad that musk supports a party like afd, but it is also unfair to characterise what he said here as encouraging people to be nazis and not feeling guilty when doing Nazi things -

moving beyond / not feeling guilty is not the same as emulating -

This part? Not really the same as what you said
> On Saturday, he said “children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents,” apparently referring to Germany’s Nazi past.
> “There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that,” he said. -

> Las Vegas: A Ride on Elon's "Vegas Loop" Did Not Change My Mind — Human Transit
https://humantransit.org/2025/01/las-vegas-a-ride-on-elons-vegas-loop.html
> It’s remarkable to me that the Clark County Commission approved this, with the head of the convention bureau calling it “the only viable way” to manage traffic on the Las Vegas Strip. Obviously, if there are no other options, there’s no need for analysis, but every transport planner knows how absurd that is. Other options include (a) extending the monorail north to downtown and south to the airport, (b) building a proper rail subway, or (c) developing light rail or BRT on the surface of Las Vegas Blvd, taking 1/3 of the traffic capacity but carrying far more than 1/3 of the corridor’s person trips. Was it easy to say yes because the Boring Company isn’t asking for public money? Certainly, but they are still taking something valuable: an enormous amount of underground real estate in public streets. This will have the effect of preventing a properly scaled subway from ever being built because its path is blocked by this warren of too-small tunnels. -

> “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,” Moulton told New York Times reporter Reid Epstein (Nov. 7th). “But as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” You betta believe he is supposed to be afraid to say it. It didn’t take long. After his campaign manager resigned, he put up a plucky if brief sort of resistance, saying (Nov. 11th) "Look, I was just speaking authentically as a parent about one of many issues where Democrats are just out of touch with the majority of Americans," he said. "And I stand by my position, even though I may not have used exactly the right words." He didn’t explain what words he may have gotten wrong. Cue protestors gathering outside his office, and “LGBTQ+” advocacy group MassEquality calling Moulton’s comments “both harmful and factually inaccurate.” Soon we find the Dem Rep backtracking about his daughters, saying his remarks were “not about his young children’s immediate experience but about higher-level competitive sports.”
> Then came crunch time. On January 14th the House got to debate and vote on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act – which would protect Moulton’s daughters from, er, “getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.” In a long-winded, transparently hypocritical Vote Explainer, Moulton said the bill was “not the sort of balanced, fairness-oriented policy I’ve advocated for.” Pull the other one, Seth. We all saw the Democrats concoct a grotesque name – worthy of QAnon -- for this entirely sensible bill (young staffers trotted out a big sign with the words “Child Predator Empowerment Act” every time one of their speakers took the floor). But Moulton voted with the crazies because the bill was “too extreme.” -

Stop the "Elon Gave a Nazi Salute" Nonsense
https://www.hpluckrose.com/p/stop-the-elon-gave-a-nazi-salute
> The worst thing to do is shriek “Nazi” spuriously and increase the tendency of reasonable people to assume that somebody being accused of being a Nazi has simply said something considered problematic using the tortuous reasoning of the Critical Social Justice Left and ignore it rather than have a look to see if they have, in fact, expressed views compatible with a genocidal antisemitic and/or ethnonational ideology.
> Stop it.
...
> If there is reason to be concerned about the power, influence and character of Elon Musk (and I suspect there is), the people who will need to be convinced of this will be serious, ethical, thoughtful, American conservatives who care about what is true and what is morally right, who are currently of the view that Musk is beneficial to their great nation (and hopefully the world) and are absolutely sick of the authoritarian irrationality and spurious name-calling of the Critical Social Justice left. -

Yes, Elon, the Alternative for Germany Really Is Far-Right
https://www.persuasion.community/p/yes-elon-the-alternative-for-germany
> The typical trajectory of successful parties on the populist right is that they start out extreme and moderate over time. That makes the AfD, whose trajectory has been the opposite, a massive outlier. The party started out in 2013 as a moderately eurosceptic movement animated by economics professors who wanted to abolish the Euro. Since then, its comparatively moderate leaders have again and again been driven out by more extreme challengers. In the process, Der Flügel, the party’s most extreme wing, has gone from being a small faction within the movement to its dominant voice. -

Yeah Dutton is not great. Loves the hate speech law and makes Australia day a big deal while too scared to allow debates on the gender stuff

https://www.persuasion.community/p/putting-the-worst-green-ideas-in
> Whether Donald Trump actually believes climate change is a Chinese hoax, or whether he just says it to get under his opponents’ skin, we don’t know. What we do know is that he drips with contempt for environmentalism and those who espouse it. So it surprised no one that, amid the rash of Week One executive orders, many of them—ranging from pardoning January 6 Capitol rioters to overturning birthright citizenship by executive fiat—deeply irresponsible, he made sure to do his utmost to piss off the greens. The executive order titled “Unleashing American Energy” seems built entirely around the maxim that whatever progressive climate activists support must be bad. Environmentalists were suitably appalled, which figures: appalling them seemed to be the whole point.
> This seems like a simple story of a callous administration gleefully wrecking the environment to line the pockets of its backers in the fossil fuel industry. And there’s certainly some of that. But it’s not so simple. The green consensus overturned by Trump’s executive order was badly built around a series of half-baked ideas that create serious problems when you try to implement them. Trump has no idea, but in killing their worst ideas, he’s just done the climate movement a big favor. -
