When you said you were on truth social I knew exactly the kind of person you are. It's not surprising that you get called a Nazi and a Maga often, you share very similar beliefs with them. Also "You have the right to pretend to be whoever you want to be" fuck you, I'm not pretending, none of us are pretending. This is what I'm talking about when I say thinly veiled transphobia and denial of our identities. We aren't pretending to be women, we ARE women, trans women are women. If you can't accept that, regardless of how you self-proclaim yourself or how nice you claim to be or support us, you are a transphobe, because you are refusing to accept us for who we are, and instead try to push and insist that we are something we are not and are just pretending. Go fuck off.

Oh my...

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Now you've turned me into a strawman to unleash your anger towards. I'm not going to try to explain anything else. But, you should get a truth social account, it's pretty wild in there. Don't be afraid.

You shouldn't bother trying to waste your breath explaining anything, I have no intention of wasting my time listening to people like you. This quote sums up people like you pretty well, just replace anti-semite with alt-right.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

"Anti-semite, "alt-right". You couldn't be further from the truth. What exactly did I say that has you painting me as such a characature?

listening to people like you

sums up people like you

Constant generalizing and stereotyping... It's assumptions based on ignorance. I think it's a symptom of social media in general, but I'm really feeling the brunt of it here on lemmy.

You don't know me. Your arguments are only good against certain people/issues, so you turn me into a strawman for your arguments.
