So now you are just being a coward and claiming that you were just speaking figuratively while desperately trying to derail a conversation you were too ignorant to participate in?

Ok, I accept your concession.

Explain to me how being killed at birth depending on sex is not a valid response to your completely incorrect and ignorant statement that babies are treated the same irrespective of sex.

Depending on the country, really really early. e.g. - in India its illegal to disclose the sex of the fetus to the parents/family because of high female infanticide.

In-laws, the father, and many times even the mother will want a son to carry on the family name instead of a daughter who will be married off to some other family (with the cost of marriage and dowry). And it was quiet common for the fetus to be aborted if it was female. The situation has improved a bit today, but gerl children are still treated very poorly is many parts of the country.

Of course, girls here are treated a million times better than trans folk here. 90% of them (hijra community) are beggars on the streets/trains.

I hope someone developes something with a compact view like RIF had. Using jerboa right now and I'm not really comfortable with it. Also for some reason it doesnt support T9 input so thats sad too.
