Hi all,
I came across this thread and had a discussion trying to educate a person on LGBT issues.
Take a look for yourself:

Oog... That there is one confused TERF wannabe. Thinks all transsexuals are truscum, transgender means pre-op, transsexual means post-op, and dives down her own little rabbit hole from there.
I doubt it is possible to have a rational conversation with someone living in that ideological black hole. At least you tried, though. Bonus life experience points for that.

That chick is just starved for attention ... and really needs help
Some people just love trying to push others into little places, that fit within their own ideological views, the thought of individuals having the capacity to transcend their perceived world view is unacceptable. I read through the comments Jessika, and think you did an amazing job. This individual, you spoke against seems to have difficulty living in a world where the boundaries are not so easily defined, in such a place, they have no control and as such they tend to push for conformity. At least, that is my thought on the matter, as well as experience with others who exhibit signs of bigotry toward others.
In a way, I feel bad for them, but mostly I just feel anger toward them for all of the hurt they cause. I do not understand why someone would go to such lengths, when others are hurt, for things that ultimately do not matter. I mean, obviously to them it does, but you would think they could go beyond such harmful thoughts and take into consideration the feelings of others.
Regardless, I am glad people like you exist, who push to set things right and display things in a different light. I try to do so as well, usually I win over other people with a rational approach. Not the individuals railing against others, just those that remain undecided. You are doing a lot of good, by standing up for others, and for that I thank you.

There's an awful lot of haters on the gay scene. I regard Pink News as a gay Daily Mail. A long time back it was actually a decent read
Haters gonna hate...just ignorance and baseless fear. Nothing to see here. Hey...here's a few fun facts.....
Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.'
Or one of my favorites from the comedian Ron White:
You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.
Let me preface this by saying I don't believe in the argument I propose. You could have argued that if she thinks chromosomes are the only factor in determining gender then she has no legitimacy claiming to be a lesbian as it "obviously" is incorrect as far as sexual body parts not matching up and for procreation. She is just a woman pretending to love other woman. Her nature based on her physiology is to love men. Not being a logical woman, this would not make a dent I'm sure. I thought it was a good way to show the ridiculous nature of her argument though.

Thank you all for the great feedback.
I have her on my Block List so I don't have to read anymore or her nonsense. We just need to keep strong and defy those who try to bring us down.

OMG this woman!!! Doesn't have a clue. I got so agitated reading that.
These statements are so true. Especially, never argue with an idiot.
Jessica I'm so sorry you waisted your time trying to educate this woman, but thank you for trying.
