"A boy wants to be called a girl."

When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be black because I had black aunts and uncles. I would say "When will I turn black?"

Imagine if I were raised to believe that I wasn't actually white, but I was black. Imagine what would happen. Are you basically saying that boys can be girls, whites can be blacks, and words don't matter?

Words aren't like strict syllogistic lemmas derived from immunible axioms. At best, language has a circular logic, which isn't really logic at all. Words are a form of art. Boys calling themselves girls is somewhat artistic.

You have no idea what art is if you think boys calling themselves girls is somewhat artistic.

They have no idea what language is either if they think words naturally create a circular, unsupported, flimsy structure instead of eventually converging onto meaningful objectively verifiable concepts.

Yes. It very much is. Ever seen a tv show called 'drag race'?

So you are an art expert who doesn't like trans people? Or TV. I doubt you are a real art expert.

Some say that art is subjective, but it isn't. Art isn't just blah blah blah look at some color, some lines, I say I like this, you say you like that.

Created or produced objects are only to be called art if they are healthy, and there is a lot of shit out there people call art which is not at all healthy for the mind or the heart (like the pedo statues of the elite, and you with your drag BS)

I don't think you are qualified to say that something is not art.

Which is funny, because if you really believed that, then you wouldn't call anything art. No one would.

Who would be qualified? An artist? A boy dressing up like a girl? You?

The TV show drag race displays a type of art. If you don't believe that, take it up with tv critics, not me.
