Another confused individual seeking to present opinion as fact.
Their either or argument isn't valid simply because their assertion,
QuoteA person's sex is unambiguous. As a result of biology, we're born either male or female.
hasn't been demonstrated. I choose to disagree and my opinion is as legitimate as that one.
The claim:
Quotewhere a woman I know, a diehard fan of the show, declared that she wouldn't watch it until "she" (Chaz) was kicked off.
Is equally invalid without clarification. Is this woman upset because Chaz was, prior to reassignment, a Lesbian? Because she resents losing a sister? Because she doesn't like Chaz personally or his politics, or perhaps she simply dislikes his parents.
The writer is attempting to back her arguments by claiming that she is an academic. But if being an academic was sufficient validity then all academics would equally agree on all issues. That they don't demonstrates that their positions are not sufficient to replace argument.
What makes these people so disturbing is that they seek to assert, however tacitly, that their views, on almost any issue, are somehow more valid than any other. That is nauseating.
