Question:

What happens if 4chan style trolls started targeting the transgender community with "fakeouts", e.g. claiming they're trans and doing stupid things to slander trans people?

The average person wouldn't really be knowledgeable enough to know the difference, would they? Nor most police officers?

When you say the "average" person, I'm guessing you mean the douches who didn't bother with further education pass their teen years...

I mean me and you and anyone not an expert in the field.

So pretty much everyone outside of medical professionals.

So, exactly what I said.

I was very gifted at STEM as a child but decided to pursue film, English and media in an attempt to communicate with people. Unfortunately I didn't realise that most people who pick those kind of topics are pseudo intellectuals who don't really understand science and think that gender can be made up because "why not?"

There are many other things I can talk about on this, but the point is, there is a clear distinction between actual science and "well, some people believe this, and others believe something else so which is right?"

I can answer that. Objective science is verifiable every time, no need to personalise things and say "well, I define 4 as something different so don't tell me 2 + 2 = 4." It's just not the same.

The problem is, you're trying to apply the scientific method to lived experiences. The standards you're asking for would have made it virtually impossible for marginalized groups to make advancements, such as women getting the vote or right to work, or blacks getting to use the front door.

Asking lgbtq to prove they really feel how they feel is kind of missing the point.

May as well try applying science to political choice.

I'm not talking about political choice. I'm talking about dummies who think being louder makes you smarter.

How is that related to my question though?

I mean, are you saying you'd know the difference between someone who's gay, and someone who pretends to be gay for bad reasons?

I sure wouldn't.

But that probably would be less harmful then posing as trans, because of stigma's and such, hence my original question.

Whatever happened to Nibedicus after Trump lost... 🙂

They're called perverts or mentally ill.

This is not in reference to transgender people in general, btw. Just sick ****s who like to exploit the movement for the lulz, like trolls on 4chan.

Ethneo returns in a few hours.

Unless COVID finally got him. He's older, in poor health, doesn't eat healthy and has to go outside in the cold to use the toilet.

He's probably in isolation anyway. Like, in the middle of nowhere, like that Oklahoma bomber in Bowling for Columbine.

IIRC he's said he lives in Kentucky.
