The backstory:

I noticed as you do that a post came up on my Facebook newsfeed for whatever reason the algorithm decided I might be interested in such a post. I decided to ask a question, please feel free to let me know your views, personally I came to the conclusion that with this level of non critical thinking or non thinking we may as well give up as a species:

What next - it’s like you read my post!

What so she's going to get you fired from a job you don't have? Sweet baby jeebus on a tricycle. That's all kinds of special.

Cognotive dissonance & chips please, lots of salt and vinegar.

TRA's really are the gift that keeps on giving.

Oh no DarkPeakScouter - did you say something bad? Like the truth?

I got blocked too - whoops!

The irony is that the question was looking deeper than the relatively simple biological definition.

The question is precisely the same as 'why can't someone be a woman?' i.e. why are chromosomes deemed by some to be the criterion for gender?

Sometimes people's phraseology is just misinterpreted and jumped upon. You might be forgiven for thinking some cannot wait to take a negative interpretation.

So interesting that person referred to the violence against trans people but completely ignored the amount of male-female domestic violence.

MyBrilliantDisguise · 25/01/2018 15:58

Well done - what an idiot that person is. You remained very calm - doubt I could've done that.

Geronimoleapinglizards · 25/01/2018 15:43

I can still click on the link and see it

To be fair to her, looking at her fb profile, she is bisexual and her partner is a transman. There's still no need for her aggression but I can see why this generates strong feeling for her. She's clearly one of many intersectional feminists getting very het up about fighting as many minority issues as she can. Racism being one of them. There's no reasoning with them because where you see science and rational thinking, they see bigotry and priviledge

Yes her facts are bollocks and her post was public but I think there are better subjects to engage with. It risks coming across as goady otherwise. Someone like that is going to take a simple question as an attack. It would threaten her whole identity for her to actually consider what you're saying.

Things seem to be escalating in the Labour party too: www.spectator.co.uk/2018/01/women-come-last-in-labours-deranged-victim-hierarchy/

Also a tell for someone who's lying, but we repeat ourselves.

thebewilderness · 25/01/2018 06:24

I could be wrong about this but in my experience a rage response to a question is a tell for a narcissist.

DarkPeakScouter · 25/01/2018 06:23

That escalated quickly

StinkPickle · 25/01/2018 06:12

Absolutely amazing OP

You were so calm and level headed. Really showed the poster in their true colours. I applaud and thank you.

RowenaDedalus · 25/01/2018 05:59

It's creepy when her little friend starts trawling through your past posts.

I have officially reached peak trans. That exchange has done it.

Aggression is generally a sign of lack of basis for their argument and, of course, an unwillingness to try to understand what is being said. So you could say aggression is the ultimate accolade from someone like that.

MistressDeeCee · 25/01/2018 04:19

I just read it. Rolled eyes within 30 seconds at the usual aggression of a person who lacks debating skills and avoids answering a question so as to not give the correct answer, in 1 sentence.

There are lots of these fire-breathing bores on Facebook, the ultimate vehicle for attention cravers- showing off about being some kind of cause-leader or other .They put me in mind of men who fight wars all their lives because essentially it gives their lives meaning and if they stopped, they actually would not know what to do with themselves.

There could have been an interesting debate arising from the question. But, oh well. No matter the cause, when I see that kind of aggression and poorly attempted dismissiveness I don't want to know, as I'm not aligning with that type of person. They've nothing to teach me.

Anyone who believes that TWOC have an average life of 35 shouldn’t be allowed to discuss adult issues.

Good for you, Whatnextxx Flowers

My thoughts exactly Datun, issue a threat then run away without even bothering to find out that it has been 6 years since I left the university following a stroke which left me incapacitated to the extent I was unable to continue in my teaching career which is why I am a self employed tutor taking on as much or as little as my health allows xx

I think you must be blocked. Screenshotted The assertion that she has reported you in order to get you fired.

Jozxyqk · 25/01/2018 00:06

Hi OP - sorry I only just saw your DM. Will keep an eye on that page. I have also screenshotted the whole lot if you need it.
