Asked a TERF if they believe in gender.
They add “identity” then state “no”.
I then say I didn’t ask about gender identity, I asked about gender.
They then get annoyed and say it’s not THEIR fault that “gender identity exists”
What is this bizarre self-arguing they do??
@tellthetroof
You got a terfpedo there so am not surprised, should have asked them about sex based rights 💚🤍💜 as that’s what those colours mean.
The right to be worth less than a man
@tellthetroof
Strawmanning, they don’t live in reality so they can’t fight against it, they need a fake version of reality they can vanquish and prance around showing how cool they are for “winning”
@tellthetroof
I was in a cult for 2 decades and TERFs and fundy xtians have a lot in common, not in beliefs but in how beliefs are embraced and enforced. they’re basically just mobs.
@tellthetroof
"Not my problem that you've deluded yourself into thinking "gender" = "gender identity" I say in response to me reading the word gender and instantly applying identity to the end of it before responding. What do you mean I'm the deluded one?"
They don't think before replying.
@tellthetroof
They are never arguing with you or the argument directly in front of them. Their arguing with the TRA they anticipate in their head and all the talking points they have had feed to them.
@tellthetroof
They avoid it because acknowledging its existence means admitting that their anti-trans argument don't work.
Or, they claim it doesn't exist, despite the overwhelming evidence that it does.
Honestly, as soon as you dig into GC arguments, they fall apart in the face of reality.
