Here in Asia, I just watched a dozen 46 floor highrises go up in 10 months. No robots or exotic automation. Just lots & lots of workers, some good engineers, and - most importantly - the political will for it to happen.

For once, bwcause, you know, women are banned from those jobs or something.

I'm 40 and never once in my lifetime has it been illegal for a woman to do a job in my lifetime. At 40 I'm at the age where whatever experience I've had is AVERAGE.

Stop pretending it's 1950.

Incorrect, Anonymous Coward. By examining annual layers in ice cores, as well as studying the decay of Uranium from U238 to U234 we can very accurately measure the length of past ice ages.

There have been very rapid changes in the past that match today.

Also incorrect - The current rate of change is unprecedented.

I very clear;y and specifically said biological sex because you dim bulbs have destroyed the meaning of the word gender. Since I will not debate your corruption of once well understood terms I intentionally used terms you can not refute.

Chelsea Manning is a guy. His biological sex is male. No amount of surgery, hormones or clothing can change his biological sex.

I am not squeamish. That is you projecting. I am capable of telling a penis from a vagina. I can also easily tell when someone is having severe psychological misfunction and needs psychological help, not surgery and hormones.

The suicide rate for post operation trans is off the charts. If being the other faux-gender was what they really needed and would fix all their problems why do they suicide at such a high rate? Way above any other group.

Hint: it is because they are fucking broken and their brokenness comes out as gender confusion but they are still broken afterwards and kill the selves because what they thought was a magic bullet turned out to be just a bullet. Bang. Dead trans.
