Asking random people what they support when it's unrelated to the topic subject at hand is purity testing. Furthermore even if asking it's nonsensical to not direct trans-based policy questions at the ones defending anti-trans comments first.

tbh I'm confused what you mean by this

They were asking Kanjo and others if they thought Shock is cisgender.

All I know about Shock is they had alts with King in it so I don't know if they're trans or cis.

its just locker room talk right?

Reminder that good faith COVxy is the dude going "no you're the right-winger" at critics of Wu's transphobic comments.

Cool that shockthemonkey trusts him for whatever other reason but in this topic he's literally the troll. Bias doesn't change that.

Seriously now.

I never said "same thing both sides" (you're misrepresenting the topic. I said it's fine to call out both sides in an argument if both are wrong, not that it makes both sides the same) and apathy towards an issue is better than the outright bigotry being promoted here (that you are indirectly assisting by antagonizing me instead of the people defending the comments).

Again, partisan bias. Association over ideology. Cliques over consistency. Any neutral observer would find this deflection pathetic.

This is just more bad faith posting and pretty much no one is going to take you seriously making these frivolous and ridiculous statements, saying I am somehow supporting bigotry now as if you're some kind of arbiter.

You don't even support gender affirming care and come across as trolling, dude. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Fam the comments are objectively bigoted. No amount of biased deflection makes them not bigoted. That anyone would at all try to shift the focus off of them on any of their critics inficates a negative intent.

You are not expressly supporting the comments but you are backing up someone who's putting up a word of endorsement for someone who explictly pulled some "no u" smear bullshit when I criticized the individual who made these comments. These are the facts on the page, regardless of who "takes them seriously."

Because I'm not playing that game. It's like when a right-winger asks someone in an unrelated discussion, "do you support reparations?" The question should be flatly ignored if it has nothing to do with the core subject of the topic and there was no good reason to ask to begin with. I'm always going to give a non-answer when unjustifiably questioned in the wrong venue.

Your camp is the one making shit personal and deflecting yet I'm trolling? Bull.

KitKats posted...

when I asked if you support gender affirming care for trans children/adolescents, it had nothing to do with purity testing. I was curious where you stand and attempting to elicit an actual genuine response from you, because a lot of what you post comes across as a mixture of trolling and posting in bad faith.

Well realize that interrogating someone about unrelated policy stances while they're trying to dismiss people pushing toxic beliefs is going to come off as bad faith trolling on the other end.

Thats funny because I have no problem affirming that I support gender affirming care, without reservation and in any context or conversation, and particularly ones that involve issues affecting trans people. Like this topic.

But thats because its not a game, for me, and Im not posting in bad faith feigning ignorance of the issue in one breath, then deflecting to refusal in another. Wheres the truth in that? Its bad faith.

You fumbled the ball and got caught red handed in the cookie jar, dude.

You're not getting it. If I bothered to put thought into the matter I'd be able to answer the question. The fact that I haven't bothered before doesn't mean I never can. But I'm not doing it here because this is not the time. Asking now is 100% deflection on your part, and toxic in nature since I'm the one who took the position against the bigoted comments and denounced the one making them.

That's a lot of words when you coulda just said "no."

It's funny watching Kanjo try to play the moral high horse when he used to be extremely right wing and even in his ultra progressive persona he was doing things like defending crypto, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk before they became too unpopular to defend.
