    Trans are grooming: It is an insult and LITERALLY what the US conservatives are running on. You need to understand this.

    Elections: We aren’t talking about Russian elections.

    Abortions: Read “A defence of abortion” by Judith Jarvis and get back to me. But before you do, stop acting like “you don’t have the right to drop a baby onto the floor!” is remotely in the ballpark of an apt comparison. Fuck off with that nonsense too.

      Yeah but you said that doubting the validity of elections is not an opinion. We weren’t talking about any country’s elections specifically.

      stop acting like “you don’t have the right to drop a baby onto the floor!” is remotely in the ballpark of an apt comparison

      I never claimed it to be but dont you realize that it refutes your claim that one should have “total” control over one’s body? This showd that its a matter of where you draw the line. Its not black and white. Can you kill a baby after it was born? Two minutes before? A month before? 6 months before?

        This entire thread is clearly about us politics. Furthermore, the idea that you can use THE ENTIRE GLOBE to cherry pick any scenario is absurd and you know it. Stop trying to play that copout game and own the fact that we are discussing American politics.

        I never claimed it to be but dont you…

        “I never said it was but it totally was!” So no to that as well. Argue in good faith or fuck off.

          “I never said it was but it totally was!” So no to that as well.

          To make sure you can’t interpret this the wrong way:

          • I did not claim that having the right to drop a baby was comparable to having the right to abort
          • However, it is completely irrelevant how comparable they are because this nontheless clearly shows that your absolute claim of “total choice” is false.

          To sum it up for you:

          • The dropping example refutes your claim about total control
          • You said it isn’t comparable
          • I agreed and pointed out that I never claimed it to be. However, it still refutes your fucking claim. The whole point was for it to be non-controversial (I hope we agree dropping a baby is not your right) so we can both agree that you do not have total control, which you had previously implied.
