I’m not saying you’re being dishonest, as in lying, I’m saying I feel you are not engaging with arguments fully and are deliberately diverting discussion away from things you find unanswerable.

Ie. saying that a cat could maybe pretend to not be poisoned thus making it a dog because someone perceived it incorrectly as a large dog.

Idk why you decided to make this about a sapient cat just trying to get through life as a trans dog but it’s clear that was not what the questions were about. That’s intellectual dishonesty.

Seriously, I really really hope you take good care of yourself and don’t let this place hurt your emotional well-being. We might not agree on lots but I don’t think anyone here wants you hurting.

I just don't really have any trouble seeing a things identity as contextual or in flux? It can be an "actual" dog when you meet it on the street or a cat when you give it medication, yeah if I had more information it's not an "actual" dog but it might as well be in some situations? That matters much more to me than what it "actually" is. Maybe I'm not great at expressing it or need to think about it more.

Thanks, aha but it's probably a bit late for that, not your fault. Being here puts me in a state somewhere between manic optimism and soul-crushing despair. I've been doing well at distracting myself from that feeling for months now, but I guess I am still only human and I feel compelled to be around people who don't like me, or at least see me in a way I don't like.

I've just been seeing all that's going on and it really scares me, but thank you for all of the kind words ❤️ and you should take care of yourself as well!

Yeah the problem is that you are refusing to accept that how you see things may not be universal or necessarily correct, coupled with an inability to consider the perspectives of people who do not see things exactly as you do.

Take care. I don’t dislike you. We fundamentally disagree but there’s no hard feelings towards you.
