The dictionary is a book that tells you how to use a word in a sentance and is not a defining factor of what is true or false in the world. It is shitty evidence at best. | ||

Some people are all for breaking down gender roles, but not for identifying as the opposite sex in a biological context. everything that gender is, is a gender roll yeah. how can you not be "for" identifying as the opposite sex in a biological context. that sounds like denying trans-persons even exist | ||

You're really arguing with the oxford dictionary? I'm not against trans people at all. I am against 1) Deception 2) Changing words' meaning Is that really so bad? | ||

I mean, you might as well cite "elements of style" or "rules for grammer" as your proof. And could you have a more basic argument then "I will use whatever word I want to discribe you, even if you don't like it". Look up the word Negro, it means black person. Guess what? Even though it is correct, you shouldn't use it. | ||

It has absolutely nothing to do with medicine, it has to do with semantics, the meaning of words. And "Man" is not a derogatory term, regardless of if you feel offended by it. | ||

Even though you would be correct, you shouldn't call a black person a negro. Your argument is the most basic of argument. We can agree with you and still call you a jerk for refusing to accept what transgender people want to be called. | ||
