Social media posts inciting hate and division have “real world consequences” and there is a responsibility to regulate content, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, insisted on Friday, following Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking programme in the United States.
You should respond more to what I said there. I added more at the end. Actually try and respond to what I’m saying. If your position is defensible and you are competent at defending it then prove it.
We already established that gender is not determined by biology. We determined that a dozen times over at this point. You assign gender based on what you see, and it’s up to people to correct you if you got it wrong. This works fine when the person is cisgender, but you have decided is unacceptable when they’re trans.
Just stop taking the pills and tell me what happens.
I used to be a very focused person and that’s who I thought I was. But know what happened? I stopped taking ADHD medication and Whataya know I wasn’t always so focused.
I also have ADHD. No argumentative points to that. I just thought I’d point that out.
As I said in my other comment, nothing, as I have had gender reassignment surgery. And even if I hadn’t it wouldn’t matter. My gender is not determined by my hormones.
Listen I got things to do and we’re not gonna see eye to eye. Good luck to ya
We’re not going to see eye to eye because you won’t consider my perspective. You’ve already decided that you’re right and that I’m wrong before the conversation even starts. You’re not open to the idea that maybe you aren’t right about this. I’d ask you to consider that. Just open yourself to that one thing, that one possibility that maybe you’re wrong about this. Consider that maybe you haven’t thought of every possible challenge to your view of gender. I am absolutely willing to consider your perspective, and I feel I more than have throughout this conversation. Afford me the same dignity and treat my ideas as legitimate points worth considering. If you’re definitely right and I’m definitely wrong, then considering my arguments shouldn’t matter, right? Because if I’m wrong anyway, then my arguments shouldn’t change that.
I don’t think you’re really a bad person. You said some shock value troll comments at the start of all this but then actually spent like 2 hours of your time talking with me. The good thing to do, the morally right thing to do, when faced with information that challenges our worldview, is to consider whether we are right or not.
Oh I’m gonna watch that video when I have some free time. Always try to consider and educate myself on the other side ya know
I think it’s great that youre willing to engage with content that challenges you. I think that you should think about some of the stuff you said today. What if I was a kid, what if children read your comments. What you said was very damaging and made others feel unsafe. Not just like an insult but actually like the threat of insitutional violence against people for who they are. That’s really serious. You shouldn’t want to make people afraid that they will be harmed because of who they are.
Gender is absolutely determined by biology. Remember I said I’ve never misgendered someone? You just chose not to believe a fact, remember?
I don’t dispute the fact, I pointed out that I don’t believe you. It’s fine if that’s true though, because i then shared my own experience of being mistaken for a girl many times as a child and teenager. I was assigned male at birth, so at the time saw myself as a boy and I think you’d agree at the time that I was. I still was called a girl all the time. When I corrected people, they accepted the correction.
I stated a lot more about how gender isn’t biologically determined in the above. If you want to challenge individual points I’ve made, I’d like it if you could actually respond to those points. Instead of just blindly state that you’re right despite all the challenges I’ve made that you haven’t responded to.
