He's having fun and you aren't so just dump the info and get out.

Here's the thing you need to refute the brain scan stuff. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51477051_New_MRI_Studies_Support_the_Blanchard_Typology_of_Male-to-Female_Transsexualism

Most studies knowingly fudge the data by looking only at HSTS because it's already known homosexual men have some areas of the brain similar to women. But 90% of TiMs are AGP so those results are nowhere near representative of transgender people as a whole.

Also most likely he's been moving the goal posts during the arguement and you have followed his lead rather than refusing to be drawn in. That's why that site's called "this never happens". Likely he said something similar to "it never happens" so you showed him the evidence it does and then he moved the goal posts to "oh, it only rarely happens". Watch out for that.

Yeah I actually did mention Ray Blanchard's studies and typology to him, even suggesting he give his books a read or watch some of his videos but he just responded with "You're on the internet too much and should live in the real world, I don't need to look at those links because it's all anecdotal - or something like that - ). I'll show him that link you gave but I doubt he'll look at it.

But you're right, he really is moving the goal posts now that I'm reflecting. He said that attacks on women by Transwomen doesn't really happen all that often, I show him WomenAreHuman and This Never Happens, he responds with "I['m not gonna bother reading through those, it's selection bias and cherry-picking. And besides, most of them aren't even "really trans", then he pretty much said that if a man is making himself looking super feminine than that means he's putting the effort into trying to be a woman and he should be viewed as such because that's how our culture views people.

All I know is I'm done after this, I've wasted way too much time on this already. I gave him the links and if he is too pigheaded to look and actually read at what these people are saying, it's a lost cause to continue.

He's just busting out those internet buzzwords like they're gumballs in a vending machine and he's got a pocketful of quarters. If he won't respect you enough to even read the data you pulled together to make it easier for his hard-headed ass, then he doesn't deserve to further converse with you. I have mixed feelings on a stranger contacting you only AFTER you were banned from Facebook. Be sure to watch out for yourself on there, it's so much more exposed than places like saidit.

Oh just to clear it up, I got banned from a Facebook group, not Facebook as a whole but yeah I just have nothing left to say to this guy since he kept shooting down all my points and references making it essentially "Well like, that's just your opinion" and when he said he wouldn't look at the websites or look into Ray Blanchard, I just mentally threw in the towel. I just found it funny how he tried to guilt trip me using my race and sexual orientation saying that "I'd think a gay minority would be more understanding towards marginalized groups" lol. And that's the thing, I think because I am gender nonconforming, I feel like people like me can see through the trans ideology even more since we do disrupt gender norms, like I've heard similar from non-conforming lesbians as well.

Yeaahh, they use those shitty tactics against women too. Everyone is supposed to dive down the rabbithole of oppression olympics and recognize how awful they must have it over everyone else, but make sure that there's enough guilt there to pull you in. They're time vampires.

I don't know actually, he had no picture of himself but I wouldn't be surprised if he was exactly what you described lol.
