    I don’t see that point anywhere mate. I do enjoy the irony in your last sentence though, you’re so intelligent that you incorrectly accused a group of people of misgendering someone.

    Anyway this clearly leads nowhere good, just try and have a think about it buddy :) x

      I do enjoy the irony of you telling me to “think about it”, while you like to simply parrot third-party statements instead of thinking about anything.

        You could always avoid thinking about it and just defer to the dictionary definition of gender, common fucking decency, and the visual and social cues presented to you rather than making assumptions about peoples genitals and genetics - or worse yet, demanding to inspect them for yourself.

        Putting aside the fact that the consensus of the experts in the fields of lexicograpy, medicine, science, sociology, psychiatry all disagree with you, I need to ask why you’re motivated to work so hard to be such a cunt to people? What does it benefit you? When was the last time you interacted with a trans person… or have you been beaten into a hateful frenzy by the scaremongering of your reactionary pundits of choice over an issue that has no meaningful effect on your life?

        Sad.

            No, it’s got nothing to do with me. Disagreeing with the consensus of the experts to be a cunt to a marginalised group makes you a bad person. I’d present clear evidence from each of the communities I pointed to, but we both know I’m not reasoning you out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into. It’s not as though you have any credible evidence to bring in return.

            …which brings me to what I’m more interested in - you didn’t answer my question, champ - why are you working so hard to be so wrong and such a cunt at the same time?

            Edit…

            Eh - in the interests of getting my question answered I’ll indulge you.

            Oxford English Dictionary - gender: The state of being male or female as expressed by social or cultural distinctions and differences

            Cambridge dictionary - gender: a group of people in a society who share particular qualities or ways of behaving which that society associates with being male, female, or another identity

            Merriam-Webster - gender: a subclass within a grammatical class (such as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (such as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical forms

            Rather than putting you through the indignity of failing to provide evidence to support your position after being proven definitionally wrong, you can just answer my question (I bolded it to keep things simple for you).

              Lol the “experts”. I’m sure you’ve never even heard of the “expert” who started this whole thing in the first place, John Money. A really nice man who only had the best of intentions. I dare you to look him up.

                You’ve ignored the 3 dictionary citations, and my question (plus the consensus of those expert fields again) in favour of paedo-jacketing, and you have the stones to call me out for a lack of an argument? Why are you so afraid to answer my question - I hope you’re a woman - this fear of evidence and answering a simple question isn’t masculine behaviour.

                Why are you working so hard to be so wrong and such a cunt - why do you care?

                    I’m aware of him. You haven’t made a point.

                    Why are you working to hard to be so wrong and such a cunt?

        You haven’t even answered a single point I’ve made, just whatabouted every reply. Surely you at least see the irony of pointing out the irony of me telling you to think?

        Do take care though, watch out for pointy things etc. :) x
