I don't usually reply to such statements, but there are more things in heaven and earth, Pseudo0, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

   > we live in a society where men can give birth
Biology doesn't deal in absolutes. Chromosome anomalies are extremely common. Here's an example of an XY woman who is/was fertile and had a child, "Report of Fertility in a Woman with a Predominantly 46,XY Karyotype in a Family with Multiple Disorders of Sexual Development" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2190741/

Biology isn't a switch that we flick, it's a messy process with results that are often outside of human expectations; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_male_syndrome

Somewhere around 1% to 2% of the human population has one of these conditions. That's quite common.

    > Mexicans can be white supremacists
I'm going to let other people comment on the recent incident, but how about Jewish Nazis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National...

They existed. As have many other horrifying example. There's nothing unique here. Hate and idiocy knows no boundaries.

    > speech is violence
The US Department of War produced this wonderful film in 1945, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAqYNFQdZ4

I think it applies to our world. The world is complicated and we want simple solutions.

Can speech be violence? Yes. If I incite a mob and use that to murder someone, then the speech I used to commit that act was a form of violence. Speech is powerful. It can be thoughtful. It can also cause people to view one another as cockroaches and then go around slaughtering their neighbors until all is a pile of rubble.
