i admit i have absolutely no idea what your learning and speech disorders are or how it would affect how you explain things, so i’m sorry for not being aware of that.  you also say that i’m in the wrong for not asking you for clarification and assuming that you actually supported the arguments you were writing in your text. i’m sorry for not doing that. we will not agree on whether or not your post was explicit in its intention but it is better to get as much context for someone’s ideas before disagreeing. i had a knee jerk reaction to seeing transphobic arguments, but i should have asked questions which would have avoided this. however, you point out that i didn’t ask for clarification. yet you yourself didn’t ask OP for clarification on their stance. you talked about how you were “just responding to the quote.” so while i was wrong for just responding to you at face value, to me you did the same thing.  and i’m aware of the no u strawman, and as i said, if your argument stopped there i wouldn’t have commented anyways. but it didn’t. i know i should not have just responded to what you said at face value, but i only did that because you made arguments which are undeniably transphobic. even if i am an extremely unpleasant, stupid person, it doesn’t change that you are spreading transphobic arguments.  you mention that your followers will understand what you mean, and i’m not one. and yeah, i’m not. i’m someone who is looking through OP’s posts, which means that the kind of things you are saying are seen by people other than your followers. you are exposing people other than them to transphobic arguments without tempering them with reasons you disagree with them. and we’re not going to agree on if it’s ethical to spread such arguments without giving further context or clarification. so i suppose it would be best to leave this argument at that. again, i’m sorry for misrepresenting your beliefs. and i am sorry that you are going through PT or other things which isn’t made better with convoluted arguments. but i do not agree with what you are doing.

i just thought of the word “cot,” for the first time in probably years and it’s odd that it’s one of the first words that kids learn but we never uses it because most people don’t go camping.

anywhoooo

later on i did actually check the hashtags of the person i was cat fighting with because they said their hashtags made it clear they were speaking on behalf of radfems and were not themselves one. basically, all the tags were just condescending comments about how you have to look at both sides and be better at arguing. there was no tag which explicitly said, “That being said, I disagree with (x claim made by radfems),” or anything along those lines. and if said tag was there, it should have been in the original comment because even OP thought the statements this person made were her own opinions . and i will POINT OUT (yes I’m being pedantic with emphasizing that term) that OP has an english degree and literally teaches english for a living, so if even they thought you were speaking for yourself maybe it actually does have to do with you not explicitly stating you were merely being a devil’s advocate.

i feel like when i realize that even if i am convinced i was being correct or reasonable given the information i had, it sort of doesn’t matter. like, i have to accept people just seeing things differently even if i think they’re wrong or not being explicit enough in what they actually mean, because the amount of arm wringing involved tires out everyone involved and doesn’t actually accomplish anything helpful.

speaking of fans, fuck hawaii weather god damn i swear al gore’s probably right and my house in the tsunami danger zone is gonna be one of the first to go and none of the absurd arguments i get into will matter at that point lmao.

look, if you did not yourself agree with this, you should have said, “Radfems are actually claiming....” i honestly don’t look at tags most of the time. your argument should be contained within the text. If you had just done that, and also said, “While I don’t agree with them,” within the text, we wouldn’t be arguing over weird semantics.

Point and claim are used in the same way even if they are technically synonyms.  for instance, i never, never, ever hear Christians say, “Richard Dawkins points out God isn’t real.”  they instead will say “Richard Dawkins CLAIMS God isn’t real.” And people don’t say, “She’s got a claim,” they say, “She’s got a point,” when someone says something they admit is valid.  If you speak American English you must know these things, it’s not like you’re from China and don’t know these nuances. The word claim has different connotations implying the speaker has uncertainty about the truth of the statement. you shrieking at me doesn’t change that. You can angrily type in caps and pull open google dictionary all you want. You can block me or say I’m a retard or tell me to fuck off into Mars with Elon Musk, it won’t change that your language was too ambiguous, nor will it change that you are angry at me for misunderstanding your unclear language instead of being angry at people who are actually directing hatred towards a marginalized group of people.  also, if you don’t agree with radfems, but in your post you only show their side and don’t explain why you disagree with it, then you shouldn’t be shocked when people think you are basically just defending radfems. if a single misunderstood word (point vs. claim) affects how your entire post comes across, that is a problem when it comes to communicating.  i’ll go away now so you don’t need to capslock me anymore.
