O no half a billion dollars.

There's no way one of the biggest and most profitable companies in human history won't be able to financially recover from this horrific fine.

O wait they made 95 BILLION in just the last quarter of 2024?

So basically everything that you said doesn't address a single thing in my comment.

You're simply Gish galloping at the moment going from one thing to the other.

Is there anything specifically you would like to address about my comment.

Specifically how the mental illness of gender dysphoria debunks the "I identify as" in the trans community in a relation to the comment that was responding to?

Also stop using the term straw man you don't know what it means none of you know what it means most of the internet doesn't know what it means you just heard it on some YouTube debunking videos.

Nothing.

What does your comment have to with the language being confusing?

I fully understand what gender and sex are and agree with the definitions.

I fully support the trans community and people should dress in anyway they want to. The general crux of my argument was about how muddled the language has become.

Man and woman have lost some of their discriptive nature. As a society that uses spoken language words have to have meaning.

There is a disconnect between what people want to be and what people are. And for some reason when this aspect is brought up people become offended.

Being what one is and wanting to be something else are different things. I want to be rich yet I am poor.

People being a "man" or "woman" going around saying they're not or are something else is confusing and only adds to the negative political nature of this topic.

Why is this issue only localized to gender and sex why not to species? If people called themselves dogs how would that effect the understand of those words?

Matt the idiot Walsh goes around asking aboriginals in Africa to define what a woman is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen btw.

In the eyes of a stranger people are what they appear to be. If one looks like a man I will call them sir. If one looks like a woman I will call them ma'am. I'm not being offensive, I'm just trying to be polite.
