  • If you want women only housing, you say that. If you want female only housing, you say that.

    Although none of them would ever refer exclusively to AFAB.

    Women only, would refer to anyone considering themselves a woman (non binary not included)

    Female only, would refer to anyone legally considered a female (I believe most countries have a signature in the SSN - I’m aware the US don’t, but it’s still an internal field registered somewhere)



  • So a trans man, being fully biological female ends on ER. The personnel shouldn’t refer to them as female and instead give them the treatment intended for males?

    It’s about precision and safety to use a correct language in the correct contexts. When talking to the patient, they should obviously not call them a woman or utilise a dead name. But that’s a social context. Not a medical biological relevant one

    Men can be male or female.

    Women can be male or female.

    Nonbinary people fan be male or female.

    (Okay there’s also a category of intersex)

    One is a social gender, one is a physical sex. There’s a big difference, let’s take a transgender man. Whom is a female and do not intend to transition. They’ll largely appear and act like most men do, but they’ll be female. Them being female only matters in a few contexts.

    But man is not equal male. Far from it.


  • Statistics does also often have reasons to utilise male and female, rather than man or woman. If their sample size is large enough, then further categorisation might make sense, but ultimately it depends on what the statistics are about and whether it’s related to biological features (male/female) or social features (man/woman/non-binary)


  • The primary difference between a bond and a loan, are the installments. A loan will gradually be paid off, whilst a bond will pay interest yearly and then one installment upon expiration.

    So from a return perspective, they’re both having a fixed return and therfore fits defined contribution schemes nicely. As they can sort of guarantee they’ll have the money they’ve promised the pension holder 10 or 30 years down the line



  • otherwise why get rid of them?

    It’s a Dutch bank, the Dutch pension scheme is in the process of moving from a benefits defined pension scheme (payment known upfront) to a contribution based pension scheme (payment being based on returns). Hence their pension funds have primarily held bonds, that’s changing as historical returns on stonks have been higher.

    Whether ING has any pension related holdings, no clue. But that right here could very well be the reason. It’s also the single biggest factor for why the bond rates are rising globally. It’s estimated to impact about 3TN € worth of capital on the European bonds market, once the transition is in full effect next year





  • Half of those are due to cultural differences.

    EVs, Americans wants big shiny difficult to build thing. Chinese wants small, simple, effective car.

    Hence American EVs started with big stationwagons, while Chinese EVs began with small hatchbacks. Then they built the larger models after, ontop of the knowledge from the smaller builts.

    Solar power, American power grids always favoured reliable production output and never had a boner on for renewables due to the peak and no production cycles. And arguably, the reason everyone is talking about renewables again is due to improvement within battery tech, which positions China nicely due to their willingness to exploit rare earth materials
