You understand what I mean
For Christmas I ended up buying “Panda membership” in WWF for my siblings' children. I hesitate buying that. I couldn’t help but think about my childhood and think something like the following. I grew up with a nature interest and I was an outcast in school. If I happen to give one or more of those kids a nerdy interest in biology, it would be my fault if they become outcast. Okay, you get what I’m saying. Or am I rambling too much?
Today’s interesting fact about covid-19. While men are more likely than women to get seriously sick, it seems like women are more likely to suffer from isolation. So that’s fair. While more old men die than old women, women take more damage from the policies most countries follow. There’s another interesting thing, that most women has two x-chromosomes and that means double set of the immune system genes found on the x-chromosome. That’s not the interesting thing. The interesting thing is the word “most”. I learned in junior high school that it’s posible to be born a cis-woman with XY-chromosome.
My point here actually is that this was not presented as a political thing, or as a controversial thing. Honestly I don’t know if those women, as well as men with XX-chromosomes, have any role in discussions about gender or trans-ideology or whatever. But even if it is here, in the early 1990s, it was just presented as one of those things nature does. Then it comes to biology, my impression is that pretty much everything can happen in nature. If anyone says “X isn’t natural”, X probably is something that actually happens in nature. As long as X doesn’t break the laws of thermodynamics or whatever. That btw also includes GMO, horizontal gene transfer happens. Am I rambling too much?
When it comes to my last entry about my international friends' view on covid, there is a third thing I forgot to write. The following is just from my perspective and I can see that there are other perspectives. If a person is first a cheerleader for draconian laws and then points finger at anyone who can not following these draconian laws, there is a risk that the person does not appear to be particularly sympathetic. Well, that’s my spontaneous thought anyway.
