"I have a hard time distinguishing your 2.5 from my 2."

Hmm, maybe I misunderstood. You mentioned the belief for some corners that there *are* no differences and everything is socially constructed. I'm pointing to a belief that there not only *are* differences, but that they're fundamental. And that it's impossible to bridge the gap between them with empathy or our common humanity.

And you're welcome, though I should be thanking you. It's the input from you all that makes this place such a haven of honest, meaningful conversation. And guess what?! Nobody has been "traumatised" by encountering a difference of opinion or a fact that they didn't know before! Who'da thunk?!
