lazy is accurate

except i didn't, that is literally what he said

it's not; consciously making a straw man by begging the question doesn't make it any less fallacious

Taboo you've really been striving to stir up stuff in as many topics as possible today, haven't you?

lo and behold people still really try and take him seriously

[-Jetz-]

okay this argument is still going on apparently, can we like-- let this die down?

Well stuff, why don't we just use this for all arguments and debates? A flexible solution that will bring all the world's conflicts of interest to a close! We'll have world peace by the end of the day.

no? this might be shocking to you, fruitcake, but some people have different opinions than you
get over it

i mean, considering that the thread was made for the sake of attention whoring, you're probably right; sure, i'm hungry anyway

"You're wrong when you say I don't care about the debate, and I'm not just here to fling stuff around!"
"lol forget this debate and the person who started it, I'm leaving"

Also the whole "I'm a married schoolteacher, respect me you starfish" nonsense, but this is getting off subject.

it's loving transgender, not transgendered
i wouldn't call myself maled, or my mom femaled

this forum has some pretty garbage folks on it, as much as i'd like to convince myself otherwise

You equated people to garbage because they made a grammar and/or spelling error?

Get over yourself lol

Oh OK. That's more understandable then.

yeah haha i'm not that egregiously judgmental just based upon a linguistic correction

you're bringing something up from several years ago that hasn't been relevant since and expect me to think you're an intelligent person
ok lol

the only thing i don't like about trans is they most emphasize that they are trans. after you've 'converted' why don't you just keep living your life and stop complaining about the troubles of being trans? thats whats so annoying. if you don't want an argument to start, don't even mention being transgender. just say the gender you identify by, and don't make stuff happen

this argument works in theory, but in a practical sense its not that simple. peoples' old identities linger behind them, and OTHER people "make stuff happen." trans people are abused and harassed because of hostile people who believe they're sick or less than human.
basically, the reason that "brute-force awareness" is the current strategy is because "pretending that people are not-stuffty enough to accept trans people" isn't working.
