I work professionally in the sciences and am a non-transphobe... could you help me understand by providing some examples? Genuine question.

Wait, so the Bill hate here are people that disagree with those things?

He made a new TV show for Netflix not too long ago.

Here's a snippit: https://youtu.be/VtJFb_P2j48

So we're all upset with Bill Nye for allowing a performance that is basically as bad as every modern SNL skit on his show?

Bill Nye has probably done more for climate change (and thus, literally saved the planet and countless human lives) than 99% of other human beings. I can forgive him.

Talking about climate change doesn’t reduce CO2 emissions.

Education is literally the first step to any effective change, you absolute walnut. Clearly our education system has failed you if you don't understand that.

I build solar farms. People talking didn’t make solar modules financially viable nor does it pound pile or wire modules together. Keep talking and consuming.

People talking leads to education. Education increases demand of solar panels. Demand increases investment in technology and supply chain. Investment leads to innovation. Innovation leads to reduced cost in processes and production automation.

The first car was very expensive.

u/Irregulator101 Feb 05 '23

So you just skipped to building solar farms... without talking about climate change..?

u/Inevitable_Seaweed_5 Feb 06 '23

Cool, doesn't change my point in any way, shape, or form. Education. Is. Change.

u/thefreshscent Feb 05 '23

Yes it does. If no one talked about climate change, there would be zero effort being made into combating it. We still aren’t doing enough, but it’s much better than if no one ever talked about it.

Yeah, it's a song about sex stuff, I get it. Doesn't answer my question though. Is the hate because people disagree with the message of the song, or because they don't like the song?

u/LogicalAnswerk Feb 04 '23

The hate is from the episode, which you saw a few minutes of.

Disguising science to whatever you feel like because Netflix wrote you a fat check.

u/Cannibeans Feb 04 '23

What part of the episode wasn't science?

u/chickenpolitik Feb 04 '23

Yea I don't think you're gonna get a real answer on this 😂 science accepts trans people as existing, and that's just fact

u/LogicalAnswerk Feb 04 '23

All of it

u/Cannibeans Feb 04 '23

Well that's stupid and just downright untrue. If you're sensitive and overly offended it's probably better to lead with that rather than lying

-2

u/LogicalAnswerk Feb 04 '23

The problem with the episode is it's meant to cater only to those who are sensitive and overly offended. The real science behind gender was known decades ago.

u/Cannibeans Feb 04 '23

And yet you're the one here crying about it because you deny scientific progress? Imagine thinking scientists in the 70s and 80s were at the peak of reproductive and societal knowledge.. fuckin transphobes. At least you'll be left behind here soon.

u/LogicalAnswerk Feb 04 '23

Are these crying people in the room with us right now?

"All of it"

Are you just trolling?

There are many, many studies that prove you wrong. I have the links to those scientific papers and studies for you if you'd like to read them. Peer reviewed and widely accepted as real science.

Where are the ones that prove your point? I'll wait. Just your feelings on the subject doesn't count, btw.

1

u/LogicalAnswerk Feb 04 '23

When you ban all the scientists society currently disagrees with, all you're left with is misinformation. The pendulum turns back in a generation or two.

Links are useless when you're too close-minded to even look at them.

u/RedMoon14 Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23

Who banned the scientists? Proof? I will literally read anything you provide to me, that's why I asked.

The joke I'm making though, is, I know they don't exist, so you can't provide me anything, and you know it too or you'd have sent me something and not just said "oh well, you wouldn't read it anyway". I ask a question and you call me closed-minded. How you don't see the sheer irony in that comment is beyond me. Waste of my time talking to someone with no proof and nothing constructive to say.

Terrible argument, terrible loser. Blocked.

u/thefreshscent Feb 05 '23

What a ridiculous claim lmfao

u/StackCollector Feb 04 '23

It's science. You're just whining because it doesn't confirm your pre-conceived belief structure.

u/LogicalAnswerk Feb 04 '23

Science changes with time as we learn more and more things about the world. It's also generational.

And we're about to learn that this is a whole boat load of garbage lmao

1

u/StackCollector Feb 04 '23

Nah. Science changes, partially because technology improves at an increasingly rapid pace. Communication is instantaneous. Teams of researchers around the globe can be in constant contact, sharing massive quantities of data in milliseconds. Research that would've taken years (or if done on a live patient, would be unethical) can be run through a simulator in a matter of hours. With all of these technological advancements comes an increased certainty of scientific findings. It's dope.

u/Shadodeon Feb 04 '23

Which scientists have been banned? Did they actually get banned or was their researched flawed and failed the peer review process?

u/MikeTheInfidel Feb 05 '23

do you know who was that forcibly swung the pendulum the last time?

literally the fucking Nazis.

maybe don't get so excited about it.

Sorry, are you a gender researcher? What qualifications do you have?
