    why would anyone work hard to become an attorney

    Do you really think becoming an attorney is harder than, say, cleaning toilets 40h/week? I finished my master‘s degree in physics recently. Has it been stressful? Sure. But I could mostly choose my own rhythm to work, had a healthy balance of exercise and leisure, and had coffee breaks all the time. I know a carpenter and some farm workers, and I would have chosen uni over their work at any time. And chances are, once I get a „real job“ it will still be less hard than working on a field.

    Wages are mostly a measure for how replaceable you are, not for how hard the work is.




  • Hej, I‘ve seen quite a few comments using weird expressions to refer to trans women here, so to clarify, a trans woman is not:

    • a scientific male (trans women are scientifically women)
    • a biologically born male (Biologically born? Yes. Male? No.)
    • a biological male (as, usually, biological markers such as anatomy, hormone levels, chromosomes and behavior in trans women are ambiguous)

    A trans woman is:

    • a woman (female) who was assigned male at birth
    • often, but not always, a person who has gone through testosterone puberty, but identifies as female

    Just use the words trans woman and cis woman, it‘s concise, correct and respectful. I‘m not saying that there are no differences between trans women and cis women, but simply that trans women are women. If you disagree with that, go watch ContraPoints or PhilosophyTube.

    Consequently, the international cricket council should call it the elite cis women‘s game from now on, that would just be consistent.
