I’m asking her to elaborate so I can better understand, isn’t that what this community is about? How is that being obtuse?

You aren't listening to what she's saying. You're expecting her to directly quote you instead of paraphrasing. Do you or do you not believe in Self-ID? Because that's essential to your core argument. She is extrapolating information based on what you say, while you're intentionally challenging her extrapolation without refuting her points.

I didn’t even know what self-id was until she brought it up. Joining this community was the first that I’d ever even heard of this. How can I argue about something that I know nothing about. Which is why I’ve been asking for links and references. Again, I’ve mentioned several times that I’ve recently joined the GC community, so I’m pretty new.

No, I’m asking her to quote me because she’s making claims about me saying things that I’ve never said. It helps dissolve miscommunication and false information from spreading

I recommend that you take some time to educate yourself then. This is a gender critical community and not a debate forum. At a minimum, learn the core ideology and basic terminology to avoid confusion in the future.

My intentions weren’t to debate, and that’s what I’m working on. Resources and links are much appreciated.

Is there a side bar for new people with links and references?

If you want to understand what has been happening over the past ten years, go to this website, scroll down to the bottom of the page and read through the archives starting with December 2010 https://www.gendertrending.com/

If you don't want to be accused of trolling us, pay attention to the people telling you to stop demanding answers. It is rude to go into a new group and dominate a conversation like that.
