Why don’t we take unicorns and grow wings at the same time as eliminating violence in males? They are equally possible aims.

Idk if unicorn wings would make people safer

I’m sorry but I’m going to be unable to carry on any conversation if you’re going to be intellectually dishonest.

I'm actually pretty honest in this place I'm not just making stuff up this is what I actually think.

You know the cat would die. It cannot magicLly develop the body of a dog because someone thinks that should be so.

You know that if I had to get a medical treatment that would kill a male but would be fine for someone female that I would do it anyway? Maybe being a dog is so important to the cat that it would prefer that to being revealed. Of course cats and dogs are different animals, but a cat should be able to pretend to be a dog in most contexts if it's the only way it can get through life.

I'm not trying to waste your time, I guess I'm not sure why I came back here. It's not good for my mental health, I end up a tearful mess, so yeah I understand if you don't feel it's worth it to engage with me going forward, I'm sorry.

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.
