Do you have a source for it? As far as I know and also according to Wikipedia, this is not correct.

Direct alcohol tolerance is largely dependent on body size. Large-bodied people will require more alcohol to reach insobriety than lightly built people.

Personally, I’m not offended when referred to as ‘-sexual’. In general, I don’t see my gender as an important part of my identity. I guess I’m ‘just’ cis male but I don’t see that as restrictive in any way.

But thanks for your explanation! Good to know that there’s a negative connotation tied to that term and other people might be offended. I’ll try to keep it in in mind for future discussions. :)

Thank you for the explanation!

Edit: If you don’t mind a follow-on question: Is my former binary definition applicable when we’re talking about ‘transsexual’ rather then ‘transgender’? And when someone says just ‘trans’ in the queer community without any suffix, does that typically refer to -gender or -sexual?

So if I’m born male and identify non-binary, that would be considered trans as well? If I got that right my definition of trans was apparantly too binary. :D

Is ‘non binary trans’ a thing? I hope I don’t offense anyone but so far I though…

• Trans = swap male to female or vice versa
• Non-binary = no defined gender / neither male nor female

If you’re non-binary what do you transition from/to?

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe my example was too extreme but unless they remove everything that’s even slightly controversial, that can give a pretty wrong impression IMO. Wouldn’t be for me at least.

If you consider upvotes but ignore downvotes wouldn’t that give you quite a weird picture in case of controversial posts? Assuming there’s a racist or transphobic post with 100 downvotes and 5 upvotes, would that be displayed as +5? Or does it not show any votes at all?

I use Lemmy a lot to debate or read other people’s perspectives. While content is more important than the vote count, I’m still interested to see what are (un)popular opinions here (knowing that it definitely doesn’t represent the general public!).

Unfortunately, seeing the votes immediately also increases your bias towards posts or comments, so it may have a negative impact on on your individual free thinking.

An ideal compromise for me would be to see how other people voted, but only after I voted myself.

🍌 for scale.

You can be +1. ;)
