I also have ADHD. No argumentative points to that. I just thought I'd point that out.
As I said in my other comment, nothing, as I have had gender reassignment surgery. And even if I hadn't it wouldn't matter. My gender is not determined by my hormones.
Listen I got things to do and we’re not gonna see eye to eye. Good luck to ya
We're not going to see eye to eye because you won't consider my perspective. You've already decided that you're right and that I'm wrong before the conversation even starts. You're not open to the idea that maybe you aren't right about this. I'd ask you to consider that. Just open yourself to that one thing, that one possibility that maybe you're wrong about this. Consider that maybe you haven't thought of every possible challenge to your view of gender. I am absolutely willing to consider your perspective, and I feel I more than have throughout this conversation. Afford me the same dignity and treat my ideas as legitimate points worth considering. If you're definitely right and I'm definitely wrong, then considering my arguments shouldn't matter, right? Because if I'm wrong anyway, then my arguments shouldn't change that.
I don't think you're really a bad person. You said some shock value troll comments at the start of all this but then actually spent like 2 hours of your time talking with me. The good thing to do, the morally right thing to do, when faced with information that challenges our worldview, is to consider whether we are right or not.
Oh I’m gonna watch that video when I have some free time. Always try to consider and educate myself on the other side ya know
I think it's great that youre willing to engage with content that challenges you. I think that you should think about some of the stuff you said today. What if I was a kid, what if children read your comments. What you said was very damaging and made others feel unsafe. Not just like an insult but actually like the threat of insitutional violence against people for who they are. That's really serious. You shouldn't want to make people afraid that they will be harmed because of who they are.
Okay. I mean, you're not upsetting me by saying it. I'm a grown woman. Nice to know that you're indifferent to hurting children, though. By your own admission here.
And also I posted and retracted that post within like 80 seconds. Get a life loser.
I can see what your comment said in the notification. Even if you delete it. I responded like an hour later lol
Never once did I say “I’m okay with hurting children” If a parent is irresponsible enough to not teach child to let random opinions hurt that’s on them.
It wasn't an opinion, you gleefully referenced the upcoming administration in the US as it will handle trans people. You used the threat of institutional violence to try and make me afraid for my life and safety. Children could read those comments. That would do measureable harm to them. Those are horrible things to say. Your laissez faire attitude about it shows that you are in fact fine with hurting children.
I never once said anything that threatened your life.
I never said you did. You used the threat of violence from the change in power on January 20th to try and make me feel threatened and afraid. There's literally no other explanation for what you said. That's an awful thing to do to someone. Why are you even responding to me at this point if you're glad that the safety and well-being of other people like me is going to come under attack in a week? Isn't talking to me at all basically against the ideology of the people you support? They talk about my community like we're subhuman animals who should be put down for who we are. Because we're not the same as them and we don't conform with the expectations they enforce.
If you support attacks on my right to exist, my right to access healthcare and be a healthy person with quality of life, then I don't see why it would matter if you did or didn't literally threaten to hurt me.
