you see, this is the essence of it. Anyone who disagrees gets called a name that supposedly makes them a social pariah. It's a tactic that makes more enemies than friends, not to mention making you sound like a smug, unthinking bore.

also, if trans women were women, it wouldn't need to be said
given that you're a former fundie, one might hope you'd now be amenable to entertaining a broad spectrum of opinions, but it seems you've just become the opposite sort of fundie
you'll probably always be a fundie of one kind or another, loudly insisting that your in-group alone knows the truth
Nah, I’m just consistently advocating for every person’s right to exist as themselves in public. There’s no Master Text that tells me that’s the rule, I arrived at that conclusion from first principles
No disagreement from me
Some people think Black folks aren't people. Not that long ago, most white people thought that. It needed to be said.
I didn't say trans people aren't people ... they absolutely are people, but it doesn't need to be said
Analogies are hard for you, huh?
We specify transness when it’s salient, just like we specify blackness when it’s salient. Much of the time, it’s not necessary to specify when a woman is trans, but sometimes it is because the government is trying to make it illegal for her to go to the bathroom in public
Are you sure we shouldn't just put it up for a vote??? A lot of people think the moon is a planet, and that seems reasonable. Maybe we should have a debate on Piers Morgan about the moon being a planet. Maybe we should protect kids from the natural satellite ideology.
It would blow your mind if you knew how many trans people you interact with on the daily who you can’t clock as trans. Trans-ness is discussed because bigots make it an issue when they notice it at all.
just complete nonsense, like most of what you've been saying
None of those sentences is true.
No, I’m calling you a transphobe to highlight that your position is not based on principle, but on fear and loathing. If it were based on principle, you would use reason and evidence to support your point of view.
it's actually based on Trump being president for a second time, thanks to bigots like you
Please cite a single piece of evidence that supports your assertion that Kamala’s tepid defense of trans rights led to people voting for Trump instead of her. Just one source.
Her tepid defense had nothing to do with it. It was that ad, the they/them ad, and the ACLU agitators who browbeat her into saying it on video. It was an astoundingly effective ad, and it was on the air constantly during the run up to the election. Of those who saw it, 2.7 percent swung to Trump.
Source please
Are you asking me to do your googling for you? I thought you were the reason and evidence guy.
Wait, are you talking about the REPUBLICAN they/them ad? The one the Republicans ran? That ad?
the one Trump ran thousands of times during football games in October and November, yes. That's what won him the popular vote, which is what gives his presidency democratic legitimacy. Tens of thousands of deportations later, here we are.
So wait, you’re saying it’s trans people’s fault that Trump ran a grotesquely bigoted ad? Do you blame black welfare recipients in the 80’s for Reagan’s invocation of “young bucks” using welfare to buy “T-bone steaks”?
no I'm saying it's trans activists' fault for pushing Kamala to say something that made it very easy for Trump to dunk on her
Trump made a zillion racist appeals to voters’ anti-immigrant sentiments but I don’t see you blaming immigrants for demanding the right to due process. Why not? What’s different? Can’t quite put my finger on it
