Why should we accept transgenders if they can't even accept themselves?
Yeah tbh we should basically just kill everyone that has self-confidence issues

Genocide when?

This also may have set a new record for the dumbest argument I've ever heard against trans individuals. Good job.

When did I ever say kill them? Calm down there Hitler.

Transgenders can't accept the body they are born with, so why are we then expected to accept them when they can't even accept themselves?

Double standards aren't good tbh fam.

Going complete opposite end of the spectrum is never good to reinforce your points.

Calm down.
I mean, there's a literary technique for that, exactly

But if you say so, lad
What's the technique? The thing I just stated or is there a specific name for it? It's not a very good one in my opinion.

Just don't get so mad >:L

People always try to make arguments purely based on fact and removing all emotion whatsoever from the equation
is that not how it should be done

you wanna answer my question or
I literally just had a discussion on why that's stupid
you didn't explain it very well, 'cause emotional appeals are always fallacious--that's what i've been taught for the past six or seven years
I'm not saying we should base everything purely on emotion, I'm saying that pretending as if we should make decisions without letting emotions influence us in any capacity whatsoever is ridiculously stupid.

Making decisions based purely on emotion is stupid, more often than not. Making judgments without saying that emotions are factored in is equally as stupid, however.

Hyperbole, lad

An overstatement or great exaggeration for effect

In this case, for the effect of highlighting how shit of an argument that was

It will bring out the best results to not have emotion involved. Imagine how much the human race could accomplish if emotion wasn't a factor in decision making.

So if we operated off of Sociopathic principles?

Imagine if the United States still had slavery as a labor force. We'd be able to achieve and thrive economically much more. (just look at China, which is a small gap from slavery)

Kinda silly thinking

I am trying to accept myself, just because I'm identifying as female even though I'm biologically male, doesn't mean I'm not trying to accept that I'm trans and that I have to live with it. It's much easier for me to do this when I don't have people thinking I must've been abused as a kid. Because that's silly, and wrong. I'm not sure where you got that thinking from in the first place.

I am of course assuming that when you say "accepting themselves", you're talking about trans people not identifying as their biological sex. I'm not sure what else you'd mean by that.

So you can't accept that you are a born male. Why are we then expected to accept you, when you can even accept your biological gender?

That's like saying you're a magical pony instead of a human. But then you say you accept that you think of yourself as a magical pony. What you need to do is accept yourself as a human, and not a magical pony. You will never be a magical pony. It doesn't matter how much surgery you get to make yourself look like a pony. You will alway be a human. A freak of a human, but a human nonetheless.

Double standards tbh fam.

So do you, like, walk around with a big flashing sign that says "cunt" on top of your forehead or something?

Because, I mean, I think that may very well be the only way to make it more obvious.

Holy shit you're pretty dissonant in the brain if you can't even consider this in the context of your own priorities. Consider that if a gender dysphoric individual is as fucked up as you think, they will not be able to contribute to the economy as effectively as normal people are. If you do not make strides to help/accept them, their condition will worsen and they may even become economically useless by killing themselves. Otherwise they just don't operate at an efficient level because of what they have to deal with.

In the interest of the economy, should we not humor them? Considering how large a portion of the population they represent?

I'll take the hit if calling someone who calls trans individuals "freaks of humans" a cunt warrants that.

Only insults? Looks like I can tally up another internet argument won.

Sorry that are sexually frustrated with your gender. If you a born of male sex, you will always be male. If you are born of female sex, you will always be female. No amount of modern surgery can change that. So instead of spending thousands to try and be something you're not, act like a normal human being, suck it up a deal with it like everybody else.

Transgenders are as bad as furries who have surgery to look more animal-like. That's not natural, and you need mental help.

Look at Greece.
What about it? Do you not like what Greece is? Sounds like a pretty emotional evaluation to me. Or from what universal rulebook did you derive the notion that the state of Greece is not an ideal one compared to the US or China?

And besides that, to humor your position, just look at the US. We treat our people much better than China does, we have fewer people, and we still have a higher GDP and GNP. Clearly the "emotional" decision to not enslave people has not worked out for the US.
