In that case, you should also mention that you're neurotypical, have all 4 limbs, are not gay, do not suffer from bad digestion, weren't raped when you're a kid, etc. - since you haven't had the struggles of someone who has had all those problems.

It wouldn't be fair to only pander to transgender community, would it?

> "Low effort social grift", sorry I thought we were in a place of normal conversions with like minded nerds, I didn't realise this was actually twitter.

It is a part of normal conversation to call out empty virtue signalling when observed. Ironically, deflecting discussion by labeling it as "X-like" (where, in this case, X=Twitter) instead of providing real arguments is exactly what a typical Twitter shitposter would do.

Mate, you need to check yourself. Read the context of my original post, maybe even click the link and have a look at some of the studies. If that passes you by then maybe this isn't the place for you.

> Mate, you need to check yourself.

I don't think I do.

If you're unwilling (or incapable) of defending your point with logical arguments, this place definitely isn't for you. I know that acting all high and mighty is a good manipulation technique that works on emotionally driven people who crave approval, but I don't really care about your opinion of me as a person, I only care about logical connections you can make to provide me with understanding I previously didn't have.

And currently, you're providing none, so this conversation doesn't interest me.

My logical connections are looking at your comment history and seeing you supporting Trump and distrusting vaccines so I think the reddit piss drinking analogy works best here. I'm out.

Don't let the door hit you.
