    I
    Cishet is such a stupid word. Just use normal instead, or no qualifier at all. We'll understand your meaning.

    Implying by default that anything else is abnormal.

    Yeah, you are not the norm.

    You go run with your ideas of how language should be and the rest of us are going to use cis. When you want to say you are not trans so other people understand you will use their terms. That is how language works.

    Someone better let @Uncle Albert and @Bill Carson know we have a new village idiot so they can group up and do their dominance thing.Can they sniff their butts on a message board?

    funny, but "normal/normative" is a lot closer to being a disparagement...

    and "appeal to normalcy" is a logical fallacy in its own right.

    Strictly speaking, anything outside of the norm is abnormal. It's what the definition of the word abnormal is.

    I don't really care what terms the Alphabet Brigade use, but it's just stupid for them to use a signifying term to classify the 98-99 percent of humanity that isn't a sexual deviant (meaning deviating from the norm and not a moral judgment, the norm being heterosexual). They may be loud, they may be proud, but they are not even close to the norm and don't really need a term for the norm. I guess if it makes them feel better about themselves, okay, but otherwise why bother with a special term for the normal?

    And while we're on the subject, I don't really care what they do to themselves. Be a man who LARPs as a woman, or finds a quack who will dose him to the gills with hormones and mutilate his sex organs, or fetishize what being a woman is like and just make a mockery of the whole thing, fine with me. But I draw the line at having to play along with their untreated mental illness and/or fetish as though it is somehow normal and stunning and brave and I'm the one who is wrong because someone's feelings are more important than anything else. A man is not a woman and cannot be a woman and I won't pretend otherwise just out of fear of being fired or cancelled or being forced to have a struggle session once a decade old Tweet of mine comes to light.

    There are any number of biology texts you can read. Yes, I freely acknowledge there are things like XX Males and XXY Females and babies born with birth defects to their reproductive organs, but those things are so rare that they are statistically insignificant. By other than those small number of things it's XX means female and XY means male and those don't change, no matter what hormones are taken and who mutilates the sex organs. Men are adult males, women are adult females and those don't change.

    In other words, the same old shit every TERF and bigot repeats ad nauseam.
    That same horseshit "iT's ScIeNcE!" while having a less than comprehensive grasp of actual science, and running to the "it's biology!" argument without understanding anything about the human body or brain.

    Brain scans do not prove boys can be girls, sweet cheeks. You tried that shit before when you were unable to articulate yourself in anything but petulant screeches.

    Does anyone else find it funny as shit when people say this garbage? Like, "I accept your surrender" has anything to do with arguing, debate, discussion, whatever, because it's online and there are no consequences, you get abusers like Albert here doing his damnedest to make it seem like he won something in a game that only he was playing? It's just really fucking pathetic, much like Albert. The man's playing a game of Solitaire and pleased with himself because he's beating his opponent.

    "Outliers just have to suck it up".
    That sounds familiar.
    Who used to make that argument?
    Hmmmm...come on, memory.....

    Hey! Hey now!
    I invented "I accept your surrender".
    It's cute when I do it, because of my superior sense of comic timing.

    You get a pass because you're not a piece of shit who falls back on bigotry.
    Does that make me biased? Yes.
    Do I give a fuck? No.
    Will I do it again? Yes.

    You don't debate. You post links to other people's words without even pretending to demonstrate any connection to your argument.

    Also, yeah, I reference scientists because factual data requires sources and study. You fall back on bigotry, which only require your words and the hole in your ass from which you pull them. See how that works?

    Demonstrate this alleged bigotry. It had better be something more substantial than refusing to pretend in your make-believe world with you. That ain't bigotry.

    Your whole post history is evidence.

    "Alleged bigotry."

    Bitch, you could be carrying a confederate flag in one hand and a "kill the Jews" banner in the other, and you'd still say this shit, because you do not connect your words to anything but sophistry. You're a feckless, useless cunt who exists only to take up as much space as possible.
