  • waves are related to circles: if you have a line and anchor it at one end, when you rotate it the other end of the line, it draws a circle, but if the paper you’re drawing it on moves to one side at a constant speed, you’ll get a wave. Alternatively, if you plot where the other end of the line is as time passes (for example, every second or every minute), you’ll get a wave. you can do this in reverse too.

    it’s helpful to convert to circles. from a regular wave, at 0 you don’t know if the wave will go up or down without further information. 0 on a circle will correspond to one of two spots, either the very top or the very bottom, and if you know which direction the circle is rotating, you can tell what the related wave will do next.

    at least that’s my understanding


























  • I understand your arguments and I reject the conclusions you’ve drawn.

    Sure, all people have rights and their rights must be respected. However, some people are misusing their rights to, in effect, erode and negate other’s rights. In such an event, that behavior needs to be checked/curtailed by the societal groups around them, and, failing this, at an institutional level. Allowing that behavior to spread inevitably leads to an erosion of all human rights, which must be prevented.

    What you’re doing is effectively pardoning that behavior by reinforcing their rights, letting them have a platform to continue to spread toxic and negative ideology, and refusing the university in curtailing their bad-faith behavior. The university can, and should, continue to allow trans athletes to compete, and should stand up to a government that tries to erode trans/human rights. Full stop.

    Some behaviors are simply unacceptable, and preventing that behavior is not synonymous with restricting rights.
