Do you finally regret supporting Donald Trump?
No supporting OP needed
I didn’t mean to imply your argument is circular. It isn’t. My point is that it’s basically tautological once the terms are fixed. I’m also not saying the argument is invalid because you clearly have a definition of “trans men” in mind that makes the inference work. The issue is that I’m not privy to that definition just by looking at the syllogism. With something like “tall me
Well of course there is the primary definition which basically cashes out to adult human male, although there is sort of quibbling around the edges as to what it means to be a male (many have settled on the ability to produce small gametes, but there are issues with that).
A secondary but very prominent definition is to talk about male in terms of the masculine gender, which can be cashed out in various social roles, presentation, and internal psychology. I think it’s going to be a threshold of sufficient conditions that makes someone a part of that gender. I could give more but I think that’s enough as an ostensive definition for the purposes of the argument.
Importantly you don’t have to agree with my definition to accept that it would preserve meaning without equivocating. I also think there’s reasons to believe that this is a commonly used definition of man even if it’s not the primary one people use.

As far as I'm concerned, that's on them. Personally if I switched teams, I'd just refer to myself as a women, not a trans woman. But that's me. I just can't recall many times that I refer to myself as a man. And I've always hated our gender pronouns when you have no idea who you're talking to and so I love being able to use the plural pronouns.

When we started, I thought “trans men” meant any biological female who identifies as a man. You later clarified it means those who identify as men and underwent medical treatment. If I made an argument, we could have hit a similar impasse because your definition is just a subset of mine, to me but not you.

I didn’t bring it up. Lozen decided to say that “saying men can get pregnant” are why Dems lost, which is absurd because it is clearly a true statement given what people mean when they say it. As an anti-intellectual, he dropped that and scurried away like the Trump nut-hugging centrist he is.
Right one mention by you and the rest has been about decoy ducks. She's probably anti-logic.

No I did not say it's why they lost I said the Dems believe in crazy things as well like men can get pregnant.

The latest Texas Senate candidate is banking on God is non binary will win him a seat in Texas

This is essentially a troll thread (note well the voting options). Not sure it's possible to 'hijack' a troll thread.
That said, also note well that I made it clear i was not going to specifically discuss the trans topic when another poster tried to get me to engage it in more depth.

Then where do you disagree with my argument I presented against you. It would be pretty anti-intellectual to reject the conclusion of an argument without dealing with the premises.
Most likely I believe you’re equivocating, you know you’re equivocating, and you’re sticking your head into the sand because you’re willfully dishonest.

What argument ?
I just made a point why the Dems can be as crazy as the GOP . I had no intentions in getting into a trans debate . Everyone's position is pretty clear here

Except your point is completely wrong or dishonest. When you say “hurr durr Dems say men can get pregnant” you are using men to mean “people born as biological males” which is obviously false with current technology. Whereas when people say “men can get pregnant” they obviously mean people born as biological females who transition.
Do you believe that it’s false that trans men can get pregnant? If you do, then you’re the one who is actually confused on biology. Being good faith that can’t possibly be what you mean.

If one of my good 'guy' friends told me he was pregnant, I'm not going to say "That's impossible!" Nor am I going to start referring to 'him' as 'her' to maintain my intellectual integrity. You?
In general, no I do not support billions being spent on foreign wars.However, the reality of it is it's nuanced and not cut and dried. There's the humanitarian side of things, the quid pro quo side of things, and the international law side of things.With Ukraine, you have a dictator that is invading another country in order to annex it.
Bolded 1. Iran is an adversary of nato and Isreal is an ally of nato
Bolded 2. Iran/middle east and the strait of hormuz has lots of oil. Its probably 100000x more valuable thn Ukraines rare minerals . therefore helping an ally to defend against an adversary can benefit the US. but politics! Its the other guys president doing it so its bad. miss bipartisanship. actually the majority of reps still supported the Ukraine war rightfully so

Bolded 1: If Iran were a stronger country than Israel and invaded Israel, the US would get involved to protect a NATO ally. We're not defending an ally; we're attacking an adversary unprovoked.
When Bibi said to Obama that he's going to bomb Iran, he told him to kick rocks - the US wasn't going to get involved. Instead, surprising to Trump, he helped negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran which was being adhered to until Trump tore it up and here we are.
Bolded 2: Are you 90? You're living in the past. Critical minerals are the future because we only have enough oil for about another 50 years. That's why China has that chit on lockdown.

I swear to god the only thing you idiots can articulate with passion is TRANSSSS
Pretty sure he's also admitted that he's never met a trans person in his life.
I just assumed they all care so much because their biggest fear is to look at a woman, say she’s hot, or worse yet have sex with her only to find out they been TRICKED by the radical left cuz it’s actually a biological male and they’re scared that makes them gay now
Good point. Fear of being gay is a big issue for some dudes. Likely something to do with the way they personally treat gay people.
All silliness, of course. Hot is hot. If a surprise dick appears in the throes of passion, suck it.

I have had two interactions and they were both adults. One was very good looking and gone through the whole transition as an adult the other was just a clerk at the Costco pharmacy. NO worries as they are adults .

One point at a time. So your evidence that Dems can “be as crazy as the GOP” is actually something that YOU agree with, which is that by the definition of man that they are using, men can get pregnant. They are talking about man as a gender not reducible to biology. So in fact if you acknowledge trans men can get pregnant then it analytically entails that some men can get pregnant.
So on that specific point you really aren’t making any sense because you actually agree with the people you’re calling crazy. Are you saying that you also hold a crazy belief? Or are you equivocating for rhetorical purposes? Or do you hold to a true contradiction both that some men can get pregnant and it is not the case that some men can get pregnant?

People born as biological females who transition, aren't men though. They've a gender dysphoria and if they prefer different pronouns, that's perfectly okay and they shouldn't face ridicule or discrimination. But they aren't men. Trans men can get pregnant, men can't.
