Ah, so you deny there's a transgender genocide going on right now despite my showing you very clearly that it is, in fact, happening right now.
Guess I know why you're also denying that a Nazi is a Nazi.
You would have saved a lot of time if you had just started this by telling me that you agree with Rowling.
I don't agree with Rowling's concerns about transgender people. They are no threat to me or the larger society. I also don't think there is a transgender genocide going on. Again, reductio ad absurdum. Does that make me a Nazi? Again, who knew the bar was so low on Nazism?
It's hard to take you seriously when your argument is just a long string of logical fallacies, as I pointed out in detail.
Yes, I know you are denying a very real genocide. You've already made that clear.
Here is a lot more information about it for you and your fellow travelers, which is what you are, and the Nazis you support to claim isn't happening:

I can keep going, but I doubt you'll read more than a sentence or two of one single link, if that.
But please do continue to explain how it isn't hyperbolic to compare genocide denail to the Nazis.
Look, I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you aren't Hitler. But you should still try to get a grip on reality.

Cool. I never said disagreeing with someone makes them Hitler, so that's not even remotely relevant.
I said denying this genocide, especially in the face of the overwhelming evidence I just provided you, makes you a fellow traveler who aids Nazis.
Sorry, if you don't want to be told you're helping out Nazis, don't be a genocide denier. And if you don't want to be called a genocide denier, don't deny a genocide is happening when you're very, very, very clearly shown that it is and even refusing to review the evidence you've been given.
That makes you a fellow traveler of Nazis. It's not my fault that you're a genocide denier, it's yours.
I do love that someone who denies a genocide is happening in the face of a mass of evidence they clearly are refusing to review is telling me to get a grip on reality though. My grip on reality is based on evidence. Yours is apparently based on misunderstanding what Godwin's Law means. Although I think it's an intentional misunderstanding to avoid admitting you're a fellow traveler.
You literally called me a Nazi multiple times. Keep going. It really enhances your credibility.
Nope, I literally called you a fellow traveler and a Nazi supporter. Because you're supporting Nazis.
And it's odd that you're talking about credibility when you continue to refuse to review a lot of information about an ongoing genocide so that you can continue to claim it isn't happening.
Keep going. Your hyperbole and moral panic are entertaining. Those Nazis are everywhere, I tell you. Everywhere!
Ah, so now genocide is a moral panic. Those horrible trans people!
And another logical fallacy. Keep going. You're doing great!
Believe it or not, just accusing me of making logical fallacies doesn't actually make them logical fallacies.
It's not my fault that you're a fellow traveler, it's yours.
No, making logical fallacies makes your argument logically fallacious. But keep going.
Too bad it's not a logical fallacy to call a genocide denier, which you are, a fellow traveler.
I already pointed out the logical fallacies one of your posts, in which virtually every word was part of a logical fallacy. That must be very embarrassing for you as a grown man. I don't think I need to embarrass you further. But keep going. Tell me again that I'm a Nazi.
Yes, I know you claimed every part of it was a logical fallacy. That doesn't make it true. Much like this is a falsehood:
I still have not called you a Nazi. I don't know why you've lied about that twice now. It's interesting that you think your lying would embarrass me.
Hair splitting. But keep going.
Nope. A fellow traveler is not a Nazi. They mean different things. So that's another lie. How many more lies do you plan to tell?
Don't hurt your legs backpedalling so fast.
Another lie. I did no backpedaling. So we'll call that four lies.
Distraction and derailing. Claiming that I'm lying in order to avoid dealing with your logically fallacious argument.
Nope, I'm claiming that you're lying because you're lying. You lied twice about me calling you a Nazi, which I never did, once by claiming that a fellow traveler and a Nazi are the same thing, which they are not, and once because you claimed I backpedaled, which you did not do.
Furthermore, it is not a fallacy that there is an ongoing transgender genocide just because you arrogantly refuse to believe it.
Time for you to go back to school. Your style of argument is full of hyperbole, ad hominem attacks, slippery slope assumptions, hair splitting, and straw men.
But keep going.
Your claims do not change your lies or your genocide denial.
And repeatedly saying "but keep going" achieves absolutely nothing other than making you look like a very silly person.
