What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true? - eviltoast

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

    I understand your perspective on questioning the gender assigned at birth, and it’s a valid point of view. However, it’s important to remember that the concept of gender is multifaceted, involving biological, social, and cultural elements that have existed long before modern governments. For a significant number of people, their gender identity aligns naturally with their biological sex and the societal roles they’ve been assigned. For these individuals, there may not be a pressing need to question their gender, as they feel a sense of congruence. The experience of gender is complex and varies from person to person, but it’s not surprising that some people don’t find it necessary to question their assigned roles.
