Sex is not binary. There are at least 30 genetic combinations of genes responsible for primary sex organs naturally occurring in human biology, and the presentation of secondary sexual characteristics runs a full spectrum of different phenotypes.

Further, the neurological and social processes of transgender identification are biological processes.

Gender is a social construct that describes the majority phenotypes, but there are far more outliers than the bigots would have you believe, and the science backs that up at every level.

“Biological sex” is LGBTQA++plus something we haven’t even discovered yet. And there’s no evidence of bathroom incidents involving trans individuals where they weren’t the victims.

Also, your question reminded me of something my biology professor would say: “Ignorance is not asking the question.” Good job being curious.

Biology does not support this viewpoint. We should stop calling it “biological sex” and just call it bigotry.

Then they can take themselves to a cafe and buy a tea or coffee. This is about what all the schools are permitted to serve the students. Yes, some are 17 or 18, and some are 5 or 6 years old. Sugar and caffeine are the two most addictive substances widely available to children, and few things manufactured are as profitable as caffeinated sugar water. Put it in a bottle with fancy colors and a cool logo, have some social media influencers plug the drink, and then find a captive audience that’s sleep deprived, facing extreme pressure to perform, and too young and impulsive to make long-term healthy decisions. That’s called a business model.

Elementary school age kids don’t drink hot tea usually. Maybe in England, but that seems like providing kettles for all the kids might be a bit of a burn hazard.

I’m not suggesting we start carding everyone who buys a soda, but schools are a controlled environment. Just don’t sell caffeinated beverages at the schools.

Botttled iced tea is mostly sugar, with just enough caffeine to make it addictive. It doesn’t belong in schools.

So “tragic” in the literary sense, not the colloquial.

Children don’t need any caffeine.

Americans fucked around. We took our democracy for granted. We were too polite to challenge the bigots in our lives. We were too afraid of being called elitist or communist or soft, so we sat on the sidelines with furrowed brows and clutched pearls while shitty people steamrolled our freedoms to pave the road to their own successes.

We’re all to blame. The Conservative shitbags, the opportunistic centrists, the ineffectual progressives, and the shiftless appliticals who never bothered to try. Trump didn’t happen to America. Trump is the inexorable conclusion of America.

The first time around, I said I didn’t want him dead because I wanted him to face justice. I wanted him to rot in a cell while he watched the world prosper without him in power and see his efforts dismantled.

That was misguided.

Not to mention, there’s at least one member state that will obstruct anything beneficial because the current dictator benefits from the chaos.

Practically every single major pop music writer has faced a legal challenge. The more successful a song, the more people come out of the woodwork to cash in.

There are no new notes, no new chord progressions, no new rhythms, at least not in the mainstream. People love songs that sound vaguely like something else they already know, because those melodies and rhythms are associated with emotions already. So popular artists are constantly trying to make new songs that sound like songs people already like.

This is not a new phenomenon, and it’s why music trends all seem to congeal around a singularity until people get sick of it. It happens in all genres, even experimental music like jazz, dubstep, and screamo, where people try to push the limits of taste and art. Eventually patterns emerge and find the repeating cycle of success, saturation, and surfeit.

And sometimes that works out for lawyers who want to get paid.

Firehose of bullshit.

In addition, there are plenty of kinds of information, technical or otherwise, that would be valuable for competitors like Tesla. Elon would be interested to know how production is going, how many employees are working each shift, what suppliers are making deliveries, how many cupholders they expect to put in each new model, etc. Corporate espionage is already a significant concern, and now the CIA works for the Nazi who owns Tesla.

Does it matter at all? Trump is compromised and is actively working for Putin. This is transparent and not being denied. Is there precedent for a puppet to do whatever he’s told by his master? Yes, lots.

[Existential crisis threatening all human life] Oh no, the economy!

What, this isn’t a forum related to steam-cleaning your deck or patio?

Does Antarctica really need different time zones? Can’t the 12 people who live there just all agree that it’s time to fucking leave?
