gender
"gender is a spectrum" is a common thing told to cis folks who are just learning about how being trans works for the first time. Most of them interpret that as "it's a sliding scale from male to female" but that's a gross oversimplification. I really like the analogy that it's more like an optical emission spectrum of a charged gas, which has hundreds of different energy level transitions and high-order effects that produce a complex system of different colors.

@jackofallEves
Capital punishment has always been to maintain the status quo.
pol/philosophy death penalty
tbh the death penalty is a relic, its cheaper and more ethical to imprison people, and even if you *are* a retribution over rehabilitation type, i think everyone can agree that getting someone to realise their own guilt is far more punishment than anything that can be inflicted from without.
anyone who can unequivocally be called deserving of the death penalty gets off easily, and edge cases have too high a risk of human error in sentencing.
Humanity can not be made equal by declarations on paper. Unless the material conditions for equality exist, it is worse than mockery to pronounce men equal.
