[@Bluuueshoooes]

Neil's "experiment" where he says that many differences he observed between men and women were constructed, is not well thought out. Remove all the things Neil points out (shave hair off, remove jewelry, no make up, put everyone in the same large baggy clothing) and you will still with near perfect accuracy be able to differentiate men and women. We have evolved to recognize patterns, we don't need the accentuating features Neil is pointing out to do it

[@Beunibster]

Maybe he got tricked once and is coping

[@leefswgoh7558]

It sounded like he was doing this "experiment" on his own and decided he was 100% accurate without proof whatsoever. He basically decided there's no problem with trans people because he could accurately tell men and women apart solely by their 2nd and 3rd accoutrements. However, if he had encountered a trans person he wouldn't have been 100% accurate, since they would have had the 2nd and 3rd accoutrements of the gender they transitioned to. So what was the point of the experiment? It only proves you can accurate tell 2nd and 3rd tradionally female accoutrements from 2nd and 3rd traditionally male accoutrements. So what is he even talking about? Not to mention his super narrowminded sense of the difference between genders, even trans activists would not agree with him on those. "Long hair, wearing pink with sculped eyebrows? oh, that's a woman." He's so out of his depth here i truly wonder why he's even speaking on this subject from a place of authority like he does here. It's baffling to me.

‘Fix the playing field’ yeah we did, it’s called Women’s Sports, where they don’t have to unfairly compete against men. It’s really not difficult.

[@tonycatman]

I'm going to steel man Tyson's point, since you didn't pick up on it. - We segregate sports not just on the basis of sex. - We do it on age (in swimming) and weight (in boxing). We distinguish between professional and amateur in rugby, football etc, and we distinguish between able-bodied and 'special' in the olympics. In judo, we distinguish on the colour of the belt, as well as age and sex. - The reason we do this is because if we fit a normal distribution to each of the groups, there is very little overlap between those groups in terms of their competitiveness. The fact that we get mentally disturbed men winning so often in women's sports is good evidence that the sex categories are correct on those occasions.

[@mrmagoo-i2l]

@@tonycatmanHave you ever watched swimming in the Paralympics? There are hundreds of category’s so you can’t tell who is winning. Segregating and categorising everything, yep I’m sure that’s entertaining. No one will watch. Boxing, judo etc… is mainly one on one. It can’t be applied to everything.

[@tonycatman]

@@mrmagoo-i2lNo. It can't be applied to everything. It depends on how much the groups overlap, and the variance within those groups.

[@mathudeano145]

@@tonycatman Admittedly I couldn’t watch most of it, however that argument is still ridiculous 😂. Sport is heavily categorised, what you’re talking about is elite sport, the top of the top, that’s what people watch on TV. Sports do have categories for sex, weight, age and level of ability. The playing field is as fair as possible. So sure steal his point, it doesn’t make it any truer.

Hink Neil sometimes wakes up and puts on a frock. He is also clearly anti- woman.

[@thomcatenation]

Well I did listen and I agree. What he said about being able to tell whether someone is a man or woman whilst observing people in trains is untrue on the deepest level. Yes we cannot see genes themselves. What would properly be called a “genotype”. What we can however see regardless of how it’s dressed up, is the outward expression of genes also known as the phenotype. This has nothing to do with clothes, hairstyles, makeup or anything else socially constructed. Babies recognise the difference between their own fathers and mothers. Humans have innate sense of something that is fundamental to our species without resorting to clothing or anything constructed. It annoys me greatly that a scientist (and yes I know not a biologist but I would expect a PhD physicist to have at least the knowledge of biology one gets taught at sixteen years old) to brush this under the carpet in favour of talking about things that any intelligent person knows has nothing to do with one’s sex. He also appears to be of the opinion something is massively wrong with society if women hold fewer positions of power but anyone with a passing knowledge of stats knows that not all differences in outcome are attributable to discrimination. He’s effectively expecting equal outcome. There’s a name for that: Marxism. And there’s an experiment we’ve run several times and the result every time is a pile of corpses. Ignoring that seems pretty unscientific too in the name of “progress” (oh the irony).

I struggled to listen too. I doubted anyone was as intelligent as Niel, but this series of answers has taken my confidence. I think its obvious he's avoiding the truth that trans men or better said men can never compete with woman equally. Men are built to achieve a different purpose than women. Evolution has made men efficient at finding Energy and Women were built to control Energy. Whoever has more Energy has more strength! Woman lack Energy to compete on the same level as men. Women represent Gravity. They are built to control Energy! Not to have Energy like men! Neil knows as a physicist this is a truth. He refuses to admit it. Gravity and Energy are different. Energy will never change its molecular structure to Gravity. Physics played a role in our development and decided that we would be most efficient if we shared load to fulfill our human purpose. Energy and Gravity work together to become stronger inside the human body just like they are working together in the entire Universe.

Observations are not experiments. Opinions formed from observational data are always subjective.

They don't understand the first thing about science, which is why they say trust it. It's just magic to them. The best scientists were Christians. Like Newton and Mendelev. The best writers were Christian. Tolkien, Lewis, and Tolstoy. The lie that Christians are brainwashed is just that, a lie. Without that essential framework about reality, you can't understand what reality holds. Yes churches have historically become corrupt, but those are institutions of men. Flawed mortal men who despite their failings still kept the word of God alive. This new class of priest who seeks to obfuscate their motives behind their lust for power needs to be challenged.

We don't need to see chromosomes or even what's in your pants to know your sex. I think it's like upwards of 80% of the time people can correctly identify sex based on the face alone.

@User-3282 Modern society is highly specialised. It's not a red flag to know a lot about your given field of expertise. It's a red flag to pretend you know a lot about a subject in which you have no education. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a physicist, he's not a social scientist and has no education in those fields - for what that's even worth anymore. He should not be speaking with any authority on matters better suited to the expertise of sociologists and psychologists.

[@idhatemet00]

@User-3282 reading your comment made me lose brain cells, in what world is dedicating your life to a specific field a red flag? He's an astrophysicist, that's not a subject you can learn in a 2 week class at devry university...

I don't quite understand your specific critique. NDT is. of course, an astronomer by training but his major role during his entire career has been as a science educator discussing general questions and the methodology of science and related pubic policy issues in terms that the general public can understand. He's been serving as an educator for most of his professional career -- that's his real expertise and that is his function in this interview. He doesn't know all the answers and, at times, his passion get the best of him and he does stray out of his expertise at times, but he's generally articulate and thoughtful in the questions he poses.

The one question no one ever asks the social constructionists, but needs to: If gender is nothing but a social construct, then how is being transgender also nothing but a social construct? We really need to start pushing back on this.

[@scottsherman5262]

The bit that needs major pushback is on the idea that something socially constructed has no value, or even a diminished value. Humans do not exist sans culture, so why do we use the term social construction as a pejorative? Such & such is a social construct. Great. I'm waiting for you to now begin your point.

[@ilfautdanser9121]

Peter Boghossian recently did an interesting interview with Gender: A Wider Lens. Short answer, they'll never provide it. they don't have answers, in part, because the woke process makes them dumber, literally dumber. i have conversations with my brother who has become woke mostly through his wife (teacher). his level of ignorance on these issues is astonishing but doesn't come close to his level of arrogance. they don't have to address their obvious contradictions because they have the moral superiority that comes from being part of this cult.

[@cyberft]

That is their point. If gender is socially constructed, any socially constructed gender is as valid as any other. Of course this ignores biological reality.

Neil is prime example of when being an "ally" and supporting his "side" is more important than real critical thinking skills, which he has lost years ago. He's afraid to go against mainstream narrative about pretty much any topic. All his beliefs lean a certain way, whether it'd be covid or the trans issue and he defends them with his verbal vomit, just goes on and on and on...

[@scottsherman5262]

I'll push back a bit here, though I grant you some decent observations. As I watched this video, I saw Neil performing significantly more actual critical thinking than the Triggers were. The hosts were the ones stuck to there hyper-partisan side. Now, was Neil hitting practiced talking points on this issue as well? Sure, but by my measure, he reached those points via something more akin to critical thinking than they did...& that observation of mine belies my own personal thoughts on the matter, which at least currently come closer to that of the hosts'. Neil, as is the case for literally everyone, isn't always correct, but he does consistently try to be...now, he does have quite the ego, which I've seen get in the way of this from time to time, but I've also seen him change his mind on way more stuff than is typical for most public facing folks.

When I was much younger I watched the series Cosmos hosted by Carl Sagan and was blown away. I read the book and it changed the way I thought about science, history and the universe. Years later I saw that Neil deGrasse Tyson had redone the series but I could never bring myself to watch it because I wasn't sure that he could be trusted to do the original justice. I have since seen deGrasse Tyson do short segments on TV but have always thought that there was something a little bit off about his approach to science when compared to the deliberate and rational way that Sagan delivered his thoughts to the viewer and the reader. Now I can see that my hesitancy was justified. This man is not the inheritor of Sagan's legacy.

[@F0rtysxity]

Carl Sagan's Cosmos is one of the best pieces of cinematography ever created. You can rewatch it decades later and it is all still relevant. To say Kobe Bryant isn't Michael Jordan is not the critique you think it is.

[@meltingzero3853]

The closest analogy for me is the wizard's apprentice who thinks himself to have become a master mage because he can use all the same spells, unaware of the countless hours of philosophical thinking necessary to make you a true wizard like Sagan. That is my impression, even though I haven't seen much at all of Carl Sagan.

To hear someone (that I've considered a highly intelligent human and whose entire career has been science based) say that someone can 'feel female' (which is a biological sex) instead of saying 'feel feminine' (which would reflect a basic understanding of both primary school science and the English language) is disheartening on so many levels.

[@hmsealey3243]

Yep. He kept mixing up sex and gender as well. Sport has never been categorised by gender, but by sex. If you believe these two are not the same, then you should at least use them correctly in conversation. Unless your agenda is to confuse, then bait and switch, and end up using gender when you mean sex, after convincing everyone gender is mailable, therefore, sex is too.....

Add to that that it is very disheartening that intelligent people are the most prone to succumbing to “what is trendy.“ They are smart enough to know that this is what helps them thrive in the here and now. Instead of providing sensible leader ship, they jump on the bandwagon, and take the easy way out. It is well established by the field of psychology that this is the truth, that intelligent people by far and away, are the worst conformists.
