Please correct me if I’m wrong but I was not under that impression

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5419923/can-gpl-be-re-li...

I thought I am the copyright owner and I can offer my code under as many licenses as I want. Many people dual license gpl code is my understanding. Converting my own code to mit should be allowed right?

Every Google result I’ve found says I’m the copyright owner and I can offer as many licenses as I want. Are you just trolling?

Correct, the commenter you're replying to appears to be completely misinformed.

>GPL means the code belongs to the public and you cannot copyright it

That's incorrect. The author still retains the copyright and is free to relicense their work any way they want.
