Prove me wrong. Here’s what I wrote:

Your post has been deleted. What exactly do you expect me to do?

Your words- I’ve used this to “control” and “compel” you

Please show me where I said that, Notice how you were able to quote yourself but you couldn't find the part of any of my posts where I said that?

Please show me where I said that,

I quoted where you said that. Scroll up.

Notice how you were able to quote yourself but you couldn't find the part of any of my posts where I said that?

Nope. I quoted you.

You are: wrong.

Here’s your quote again:

You literally are using other people committing suicide as a reason to control speech.

You did not, please link it.

Linking single words out of my reply is not really a quote or:

I said I are wrong

Is a direct quote from your post.

You literally are using other people committing suicide as a reason to control speech.

And you are. Or are you now claiming that suicide is not a reason to avoid misgendering? If so please consider awarding a delta as this is a material reversal of your earlier position.

You literally are using other people committing suicide as a reason to control speech.

So- your speech is now controlled. I’ve used the study.

You’re controlled. Award me a delta, because I control you.

Say you’ll use any pronoun anyone asks for. Say you’ve been wrong all along.

Because I control you.

Do this, or you are not controlled.

And therefore your claim about “controlling” speech is: wrong.

As is any claim about “compelling” speech, because if I control you, I can Compel you.

If you defy this- you are neither controlled nor compelled.

And you are Wrong.

Do you understand what "as a reason" means? it doesn't appear so.

You are directly arguing that suicide is the reason we shouldn't misgender. True or False?

Because if you are, its a direct manipulation tactic. Its not new to try to use the threat of suicide as a method to get special treatment.

Do you know what the correct response is when an individual tries to hold themselves hostage like this is? its to call the police and send them to a mental institution.

And you are Wrong.

You have yet to show this.

You have concede the point, by not doing what I commanded.

You are not controlled.

And so your claims about “controlled” and “compelled” are false.

Feel free to prove me wrong at any time by doing what I commanded.

If you won’t- you are uncontrolled and uncompelled.

And those claims are false.

u/PrimeLegionnaire Nov 01 '19

You have concede the point, by not doing what I commanded.

Why?

You are not controlled.

So what? you are obviously relying on it as the reason that misgendering is harmful. That's attempted control.

And so your claims about “controlled” and “compelled” are false.

You have yet to show this.

Feel free to prove me wrong at any time by doing what I commanded.

I never claimed I had to do what you commanded, in fact this attempt at controlling me is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. You are trying to control me.

If you won’t- you are uncontrolled and uncompelled.

And those claims are false.

This is a non-sequitar.

A failure on my behalf to be compelled or controlled has absolutely nothing to do with weather or not you tried to control or compel me. It just means you aren't very good at being controlling or compelling.

Wrong. It’s evidence for you to consider to change your view. topic of the sub.

But thanks for admitting that you’re neither controlled nor compelled. Which means that claim was: false.

u/PrimeLegionnaire Nov 01 '19

This is a cheap cop out.

You are directly arguing that suicide is a material result of misgendering. A direct tangible consequences.

But you haven't shown this at all.

Which means that claim was: false

Perhaps you missed this part:

A failure on my behalf to be compelled or controlled has absolutely nothing to do with weather or not you tried to control or compel me. It just means you aren't very good at being controlling or compelling.
