Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

No, it's not about squashing the identities themselves, it's about squashing the gendered expectations.

This is basically the same. If you remove the gendered expectations you remove the identity. Gender is the expectations.

That's what makes it so resilient, not willing to renounce deeply held identity, people keep enforcing the expectations.

I understand you're saying this because of the status quo, but it is egregiously foolish to state the status quo as a simple fact. It makes it appear as if you fully support the status quo.

Not just in direct discussions like this, but even bystanders get it. It's why the news picks their words very carefully, usually to slant the truth to their corporate agenda.

That's not true. A man will always be a man, a woman will always be a woman and an NB/GNC type of person will always be NB/GNC. It's not about what society demands of you for your body type. It's who you are. It's what you are.
