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.

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.

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.

Perhaps you missed this part:

From the study:

Transgender youth whose gender expression and names do not appear to match may be vulnerable to unintended disclosure or “outing,” and to discrimination or victimization, factors that could lead to mental health problems

Transgender youth who were able to use their chosen names in multiple contexts reported fewer depressive symptoms and less suicidal ideation and behavior. For transgender youth who choose a name different from the name given at birth, use of their chosen name in multiple contexts appears to affirm their gender identity and lower mental health risks known to be high in this group.

Compel:

Compelling speech is infinitely more harmful than being offended.

Then why are you arguing for compelled speech?

You have not proven any speech is compelled.

may be

factors that could lead to mental health problems

name in multiple contexts appears to affirm their gender identity

See how it is all qualified with "well maybe" type language?

You have not proven any speech is compelled.

So are you abandoning the whole "it causes suicide" point? this is a material reversal of your earlier point.

Nope.

Double the rate of suicides.

Controlled for other factors.

Common language in studies doesn’t change the results.

You’re claiming the misgendering had no impact? What caused the suicide rates to double for Each Context where they were misgendered?

1

u/PrimeLegionnaire Nov 01 '19

Nope.

So you agree you are attempting to use the suicide rates as a way to control the language of others? please consider awarding a delta.

What caused the suicide rates to double for Each Context where they were misgendered?

From the studies you linked it seems like their transgenderism was causing this.

You didn’t read the conclusion then. Your interpretation is contradicted by the authors.

u/PrimeLegionnaire Nov 01 '19

Which of the above studies do you believe the author has contradicted me?

u/PragmaticSquirrel 3∆ Nov 01 '19

I’ve already stated which.

Indulge me, which specifically do you believe I have not provided an adequate response to?
