Look, it's the rare strawboy!
Ad hominem
No no, this is an ad hominem: you're an idiot.
I was pointing out that your statement was a strawman. But really it's just a false statement. A lie, if you will.
There has never been any discussion about children consenting with respect to trans rights. The parents and/or medical professionals are ALWAYS involved in the decision.
But as I said, you're an idiot.
children consenting to what? what children? what data supports your vague opinion?
That isn't really an ad hominem. It's just an insult. An ad hominem would be: "What validity could that argument have when you, the person defending it, is an idiot?" Same goes for the other user's complaint.
That was all implied.
