"I have no functional response to the fact that my entire movement has been overtaken by traditionalist extremists who want to take away my rights"

You're the definition of a useful idiot.

Pointing out the glaring flaw in your attack is not idiocy. Do you have anything to contribute other than ranting and raving?

House... the term 'useful idiot' does not mean you are LITERALLY an idiot. It's a bit of a mean-spirited derogatory insult coined in vernacular to mean something else, and since MT decided that was the term she was going to use, it sort of sets the tone, don't you think?

From Webster: a naive or credulous person who can be manipulated or exploited to advance a cause or political agenda.

As for the 'glaring flaw', enlighten me, O Wise One. MT called people who care about the health and wellbeing of children with dysphoria 'useful idiots' in unknowing cohorts with some cabal of, and I quote, 'some very creepy, sinister people'. Very ominous and spooky, plus a bit silly because it sounds word for word like something Trump would say, but we have fun here. Setting aside the fact that I'm pretty sure the voices in my head are NOT coming from a third party out to trans the kids, I pointed out that your wild and wacky movement is literally currently being overtaken by theocratic facists who are using your rhetoric and your bodies as fodder to build themselves into positions of wealth and power. Radical feminists pushed hard to put people in power in the UK who are ACTIVELY looking to strip away women's rights. Hence, useful idiots. Such as yourself.

I am aware of the phrase, thanks for yet another unnecessary lecture though. My response was to your tone, which reeks of misplaced exasperation and the assumption that I am an idiot.

The glaring flaw is the strawmen I mentioned. Until you can respond to the points I made without devolving into a tirade of insults I’m going to ignore you again and assume you are here to scream into the wind as per usual.

"I have no functional response to the fact that my entire movement has been overtaken by traditionalist extremists who want to take away my rights"

You're the definition of a useful idiot.

And you responded:

No offense house but I don't for a second believe you were aware of the phrase, there is nothing at all in my post you're responding to calling you an idiot unless you literally believe that being called a useful idiot means you are being called an idiot.

The glaring flaw is the strawmen I mentioned. Until you can respond to the points I made

Again, you said:

Holy strawmen Batman!

That's not a point being made, that's not "strawmen" being mentioned in any way except abstractly, that's you showing up unannounced and gesticulating wildly at everything while exclaiming "Strawman! Strawman!".

Oh I missed you house, I think we'd get along great if you weren't so full of yourself and I wasn't so full of myself.

    I guess it's pretty far down the other comment thread, no worries.
