Humans. Can't trust 'em for shit.

I'm with you. Even YouTube is classified as social media (which I guess it gets closer to with shorts and comments and everything). I definitely think that, this, and Facebook are categorically different, even if they're all "social media"

Same. Except it's usually more, like, verify an obscure fact or something.

It's called "capitalism". You should avoid it if you can.

I think it's at least hyperbole. The consequences aren't the same, aren't even equivalent, but there are still negative consequences.

Or look at the women you think look good, and masculinize it. Women's outfits aren't all inherently womenly or anything, and even a dress or something can be made more manly if you need to and you're willing to exercise that creative muscle.

Well I mean there's only like 8 billion other people, so certainly no one else has ever felt like me before.

I guess I just automatically jumped to the part that affected me personally the most....

That makes sense, but a lot of the same points apply. No one thought J.D. was a girl or told him he was delusional for believing he wasn't. I do get that it was obviously meant to be demeaning there, but almost certainly not for a "you aren't who you think you are" way, but rather "girls are silly and you're silly so you're a girl" way. Casual misogyny: not really better than casual transphobia, but still a separate thing.

The distress JD feels when belittled thusly isn't because someone really believes he is wrong and bad for thinking he's a man, but because Cox doesn't respect him as a doctor and has the erroneous belief that calling him a woman's name conveys that somehow.

I'm assuming
