They can't even explain their ideas. I've also got 'google it' when I try to press them - like when I tried to press them on why JKR is transphobic. 'Google it' they tell me. (I want your opinion I said, and then got silence)

I've noticed it too. ''Educate yourself'', ''google it'', ''TWAW full stop, no qualifiers, period''. I get that kind of response with sealioning neckbeards because you're genuinely sick of being asked to explain everything to people who won't listen, but EVERYONE gets shut down with the same playbook.

It's been bothering me a lot lately where I've paid more attention - what is their argument? They have a statement, TWAW, and they spew instant knee-jerk hate to any and all questions let alone dissent, but it's been a loooong time since I've seen any attempt at explaining gender ideology. You'd think it warrants an explanation. I can explain sexuality - not well, I'm an idiot after all, but I can.

I see explanations about mental health, racism, capitalism, political spectrums, history, linguistics, absolutely everything, all over the place. They don't even bother explaining dysphoria anymore, the one thing they, on the surface, even have sort of in their favour.

You're not an idiot; you have a clever nickname, right?
