Glitch in the Matrix

Why sad? They are happy now.

...no, I just have an opinion on the Internet. That's not comparable to ISIS

Guilt by association fallacy. Oh, hitter belived that children should be executed, so do I, does that mean I'm hitler?

There is no fallacy. You shared that it's a shame they changed sexes. Something ISIS would also consider a shame. I never said you were associated with ISIS, that's a conclusion you jumped to on your own.

If you truly believe that children should be executed, that would not mean you're Hitler, but that you think the same way. Which is what my meme stated above.

I do like the meme though

"Cite this. Millions of Americans know it's quite strange." - You say cite this, but provide no citation. They don't "know" it's quite strange, whatever the number is, they simply "think" it's strange.

"I merely think that it's strange, they shouldn't be ostracized for it" - Yet you say it's a shame. By your usage, Merriam-Webster would use the definition "dishonor or disgrace" so I feel you are contradicting yourself/backtracking again.

"Maybe in 40 years half of the country will be trans but right now I'm taking a look at 2016 and I find it weird." - That was not your original claim. If it had been, I wouldn't have bothered commenting.

My quote: "The shame would be for them to not be true to themselves."
Your response: "Ehh. Sure, I agree with this part I guess." - Now you are completely contradicting yourself with your initial two comments of "I heard it's pretty sad" and "it's a shame".Type a comment..

I'm ashamed to have to use such a shitty biased website such as this but here:

I think that it's a shame because they clearly have some form of mental issue. However, that doesn't mean it's not strange. It's strange.

What was mine then? I can have more than one opinion, they're not contradictory.

I agree with the part of the paragraph above your quote, and I'm not saying they should be discouraged on the Internet. I still stand by my statements, but they can do what they want.

I never said you should change your mind. I'm pointing out how the country has progressed beyond you. The country has progressed beyond many prior generations as well. I'm not sure how old you are, but it's a fair assumption that at some point in your grandparent's lives they thought it was perfectly fine to have separate drinking fountains for blacks and whites, just as at least one of my grandparents thought back in the day. If your family was here in the early 1900's its also probable that many of them thought women shouldn't have the right to vote or own land, and I'm sure plenty of my family at the time thought so as well.

Forty years from now, you'll have to be the one looking back at how your views negatively impacted transgendered individuals. This is one area where history continues to repeat itself in favor of those fighting for their rights.

I agree it's a little strange. I can't wrap my head around the physical change aspect, and don't know that I ever will. I just don't like thinking about medical procedures at all. I understand why they choose to make their choice though. The shame would be for them to not be true to themselves.

*Cite this. Millions of Americans know it's quite strange.*

*Hmm. Yes, I see your comparison, but I don't agree with any segregation type things for transgenders. I merely think that it's strange, they shouldn't be ostracized for it.*

If your family was here in the early 1900's its also probable that many of them thought women shouldn't have the right to vote or own land, and I'm sure plenty of my family at the time thought so as well.

*I really don't know to be honest but I'm not suggesting to restrict the rights of transgenders.*

*Again, I don't feel that they should have restricted rights. Maybe in 40 years half of the country will be trans but right now I'm taking a look at 2016 and I find it weird.

Ok. Then I have no problem with it. If it wasn't in any way in the offensive, why bring it up? "Oh, I was just casually comparing you to a dangerous terrorist organization, no big deal"

That was autocorrect. I fixed it

I never said you behaved like them. Do you feel defensive about your position, because I never once brought up your personal actions. Now you're also backtracking on your opinion from it being "a shame" to "a little strange".

No backtracking here. It is both a shame and a little weird. And yes, I do feel a little defensive when someone compares me to ISIS. I don't feel my views are backwards, and saying ISIS shares them won't change my mind.

Educated*

The difference lies within the severity of our actions. I don't go around beheading them, I just think it's a little strange
