state your fucking position.

I already did, and I don’t feel you are arguing in good enough faith—having been willing to concede being trans “is sinful”—to address you in any deeper detail.

You jump on the name thing rather than seeing it as an outcrop of assigning sex and gender and then bitch about it in other threads using disingenuous descriptions that conflate the two but only address the later.

What do you do?

Concede being trans is sinful?

Oh wait no, that’s what you do.

“Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.

If I told you “kicking puppies is wrong” would you demand ‘an alternative’ to do instead?
Don’t kick puppies.

HAVE NOT STATED AN ALTERNATIVE!

not doing that, Jesus.

I notice first off you’re conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.

Makes me doubt your faith, that.

I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?

what. is. your. alternative.

Not shoving people into boxes we know aren’t accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

Why is that even a thing you want to do?

lessen the impact of its existence

You mean like not assigning people to classes we know can be incorrect they then would have to change?

Are you describing ableism as an argument against the existence of privileged classes??

Why do programs have default settings if they’re not the ideal settings for everyone?

I don’t think you can really compare screen resolution with the establishment of a disprivileged class that didn’t exist

As I said in my previous comment, why shouldn’t the objective be to reach a point where transitioning is completely painless?

Why should a person need to transition? Why do cis people need or deserve the privileged status there being a default they adhere to grants them?

I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t made you upset

We are and have been good. I do want to stress however that not having transitioned by circumstance or choice does not mean you own anyone deference during intracommunal discussions.

Don’t conflate being a supportive and trusted adult as a child navigates their identity with sexual abuse you piece of shit.

Why are we forcing people into “sides” if we know for a fact they can be erroneous?

That creates a privileged class for who their assignment is congruent with their conception of self (cisgender people)
alongside a disprivileged out group forced to navigate transitioning out of an assignment they never should have gotten (transgender people)

you might as well call giving an infant a name a system of oppression

I do.

I hate “gender-critical” shmoes with all my heart, but even they should have rights.

Not to be “gender critical” they shouldn’t.

i do not know how to explain

Yeah, I have trouble explaining falsehoods, too.

Me? I tend to avoid the difficulty by not spreading lies, but you do whatever works for you, darlin’.

I mean, I can change it if it really bothers you that much.

“I hate cops” wasn’t a reply to you, friend. Nor about you. I was calling doctors cops and doing so in response to someone saying “respect doctors” as if that forgives their participation in systems of oppression. To be clear I respect doctors in so far as they treat gunshot wounds, hate them in so far as they snitch on the fact to the feds.

I thought about explaining the reasoning for the distinction I insisted on making (it was for others’ benefit) but I didn’t want to reply to you again 'cause I feared coming off as a dick.

In this house we treat medical professionals with respect

In this house we hate cops and a person who participates in condemning someone to a [assigned] “sex at birth” prison is a cop.

Equality Act affords protection not only to trans-identified young people, but also to those who are gender-critical.

It shouldn’t, because that second group doesn’t deserves rights.

other than what they were born as

assigned at birth; let’s not acquiesce some doctor with a crank habit on 2 hours sleep is correct in what they say on government paperwork off a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

Either way, you’re the asshole here.

Big yeah.

assuming i did, declaring war just so you can capture whites to sell as slaves seems kind of oppress-y to me

Where are you getting the were targeted for being white and not for being targets of opportunity?

you restating a thing doesn’t make that thing true though…?

It remains true whether or not I restate it, Was restated for you benefit since you seem to be willfully ignoring it.

I’m not sure how to convince you … probably wouldn’t raid a settlement consisting of black non-muslims

Where are you getting that? You seem to be working backwards from wanting white people to have been oppressed.

Arabs absolutely enslaved Black Africans. Any Europeans who found themselves enslaved by Barbary pirates were not targeted or oppressed for being white (as has never happened to anyone, ever); some of the Barbary pirates were European.

where are you getting “war captives”?

You don’t consider Barbary raids an act of war?

do you think a captured ship with only black non-muslims on it would’ve been captured in the first place?

do you think a coastal settlement with a population of only black non-muslims would’ve been raided for slaves?

Capitalize Black. And “Yes.” on both counts.

the same appears to be true here, just with “non-muslim” being the back-engineered justification

You can’t change race by reciting The Shahada.

And irrespective anything you have said white people have never been oppressed for being white; the original assertion which started this discussion that is only tangentially related to an OP about women excluding men from an art exhibit (they didn’t want to go to anyway) as performance art.
