@chosafine@instance.business I suppose my question is at what point differences between individuals who share traits in common become differences between _cultures_ to which those individuals belong. The ways in which we treat individual differences and cultural differences are quite different, and I question whether biological facticities ever make good bases on which to pattern culture given our relative lack of control over them.

@chosafine@instance.business Certainly biological facticities can lead to common lived experiences, and the commonality of lived experience makes for common culture, but people can possess biological traits and not have those lived experiences, or have the lived experiences and not share the same trait. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how those ideas interplay, if you have interest in sharing.
