    You are sealioning. You don’t speak to your doctor in order to use the loos. In this context, “biological sex” is a transphobic dog whistle.

            No, they said “it’s a transphobic dog whistle” and you invented all that extra stuff to start your irrelevant argument. It’s called a straw man.

                I didn’t invent anything.

                Really?

                “it’s a totally useless term that can only be used as a dogwhistle.”

                This you?

                If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious.

                    And there you go pretending context doesn’t exist. Amazing.

                    That’s not a strawman or an invention, it’s literally what the person was saying.

                    You and I clearly use the word literally very differently. I use it considerably more honestly and literally than you do.

                    If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious.
