I’m a gay man. I absolutely hate people who pander to us just as much as people who hate us.
The same should apply to trans groups, I sincerely doubt every trans individual wants to be placed on a pedestal at all times.

Hi.
I don’t like using logical fallacies in arguments because I’m a strong believer in rhetoric and conversation. But I’m so fed up with the over-use of “strawman” lately so I’m hopping in to point out that :
Is, in fact, a strawman argument. Since I’ve noticed other places in these comments where you use the term incorrectly. In this case you’ve exaggerated and stripped away any nuance in order to argue against the point you fabricated instead of the point that was made.
And:
Is an ad hominem attack because you’re attempting to discredit their argument based on a quality unrelated to the point being made, in this case the thickness of their skull.
Cherry picking my one argument that was an obvious use of sarcasm as if it was truthful is the fucking cherry on the cake. You must think yourself very intelligent.
Next time you would disregard quotation marks, do the world a service and shut up instead.
I’m just sharing knowledge in the hope of lifting the people around me.
If you’re using logical fallacies intentionally or ironically as some kind of performance piece, by all means continue.
In case you missed it, cherry picking happens to be a fallacy as well. Or did you drop your thesaurus in the toilet?
Oh? Did you not know how to use that one either?
Cherry picking only applies if I’m presenting a select portion of data to support my argument/narrative. In this case I’m not arguing for or against anything, so no, that isn’t an example of cherry picking.
The portion of data is your quote. Or do you lack the capacity to know that text contains information?
You’re presenting it in your argument that I said that truthfully, when it’s a quote, which no one said, meaning I’m using sarcasm about a previous comment.
You’re too far gone to understand that though. I’m sure you’d much rather keep looking in the thesaurus, so have a blast with that.
Did you not type it out? Could have sworn I copy/pasted it directly from the contextual post.
However, sarcasm is when you mean the opposite or at least not exactly what you’re saying. In this case you’d be misquoting at best, mocking at worst, except! You then attacked the misrepresentation, and at that point made it a strawman argument.
Another fun fact, walking back a previous statement by claiming sarcasm or joking can be considered a form of backpedaling.
At this point you may want to get a thesaurus, yourself.
