Yeah I've said it before related to egging but it also works against accusations of faking or imposter syndrome (like this) too, the thing that defines gender identity is how the person identifies, not what they've done for affirmation, not what they desire, not even their reason for identifying if they even have one, just the fact they identify is what makes them that identity.

You can't really be faking an identity, just as your actions won't make you an egg. The gender (and gender modality) you identify as, what you do besides that has no effect. Also if you feel different about it later and identify as something else, that's completely fine and normal, it just means you might be some level of genderfluid.

Bingo, people are going to make some argument about how it's because they do it to offer women fair opportunities but the real answer is that they think women are stupid or at the very least that men are smarter, realistically they think both.

But putting forward a stupid notion such as there being more than 2 genders is stupid.

Yes that's called enbyphobia, it is a type of transphobia, hatred or invalidation of a person's identity which is Bigotry. Being a bigot is determined by behavior, not that you don't consider yourself one.

There are only 2 combinations of the xy chromosomes.

Congratulations you just made an idiot of yourself again, as I am an Intersex with XXY and have the karyotype test proving it. I'm also not ashamed of it either.

You should also crosspost to !nonbinary@lemmy.blahaj.zone, this one (and lemmy.one in general) isn't very active anymore.

The reason is because even things that are made up can hold a lot of importance to some people, especially when it's how they view themselves and it is important to respect people's wishes.

Edit: Person is obviously a troll from their history and this very likely was made with the intention of bigotry towards Trans and NonBinary people.

Iate to the party, Honestly I don't know, gender is hard. I don't feel like a girl and I don't know what it feels like to be a boy. I just wear what I like without thinking about it too much.

Before anyone tries to argue that they can't be a bigot because they're NonBinary, just keep in mind that transmedicalists are openly and directly transphobic despite being transgender themselves. Just because this person is NonBinary that doesn't make them not a hate-filled bigot, they still indeed are one, and in a way it's actually worse because they'll just say people are being transphobic or enbyphobic towards them when people try to call them out, which ends up being harmful because they're calling things that aren't transphobic transphobic. That reflects negatively on trans people and takes away from the ability to call out actual transphobia.

I know they require them, it's is the way that they're implemented that I'm referring to. Like they made it deliberately frustrating. Some of them one a few websites even pop up twice or even three times and you have to click them multiple times to get them to go down.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that much of Europe has privacy laws that protect their citizens and also makes it so people running nodes there don't have to kiss up to US companies. Hence why they block those nodes or just give them a huge amount of challenges to solve in hopes to frustrate them. Same with how they put annoying privacy pop-ups on the website in European locations which re-appear every time you login or visit the site.

In my experience it's a bit slower but not by much, I usually only access text based websites over Tor though with minimal images, streaming over YouTube can be horribly slow but it's generally worked okay for me.

Might also be a good idea to use something like Ublock origin and Portmaster as well, don't just try to curate ad targeting, block them, if you want to still support websites you can use something like adnauseam which clicks the ads.

I'm not trying to say that Tor isn't a good idea because they should be blocking ads, I think more people should absolutely use it for better anonymous browsing, I only bring up ad blockers because if people don't want to be targeted ads they should be blocking them.

Bonus: Add anti-adblock filters to ad-block, it helps significantly with sites that try to detect them, also spam and malware filters are essential.

Hate to burst your bubble but many of the stories are just that, stories. Vast majority of the onion sites out there are either forums like 4chan or hobbyist sites like the old days of the internet.

Illegal websites do exist but they're rare and hard to find, they also are subject to being taken down. They're nothing like the stories though. In fact majority of the websites that exist when you search for these topics are just bitcoin scams, i.e. a livestream website that asks you to pay $200 in bitcoin to enter, almost certainly a scam because livestreaming over Tor is terrible due to low spead and it breaks the anonymity due to generating tons of unique traffic.

TL;DR Tor is a tool that can be used for privacy on the clearnet it can also be used to host your own onion sites. Dark web stories do have a small element of truth to them but are mostly scary stories to tell in the dark.
