And finally I said

I am not one of the persuadables

and Taln said "correct you are not one of the people, who can be persuaded to not be a transphobic bigot. it's not a good thing, to be proud to not be a persuadable, because that means that you are saying, that there aren't any argument that could convince you that you are wrong" no it doesn't mean that. I'm saying, that you are deliberately decontextualizing what i said to make your preferred narrative work which is very dishonest. But what's new. I am persuaded by sound reasoning and evidence. You don't have any. That is how I was persuaded, to change my mind and stop pretending uh that trans-identifying men are virtually the same as women. The context here is very specific, it was about this document which described itself as a messaging guide and it's full of advice on how to use language to fool people into thinking that transgenderism is on a par with race. It too is deeply dishonest and quite sinister actually. Uh it calls its targets persuadables and yes, I am proud of having developed the critical thinking skills to be able to see right through it. Which of course makes me a terrible transphobic bigot in your nasty world view. so that's it.

in spite of the time and effort Taln put into writing his response he ends up coming across as just another misogynist getting his hate and resentment of women off his chest What's his endgame? does he think I or anyone reading his comment is going to be persuaded by his incisive analysis? does he think he's going to guilt-trip me into shutting up or even switching sides? Of course not. Taln has, I think, proved a perfect illustration of how deeply flawed gender ideology is. It amounts to an assertion that our sexed bodies are fundamentally irrelevant in determining whether we are men or women. Manhood and Womanhood are reduced to ideas and performances and raising objections that are based on real life and demonstrable experiences of hurt and harm are denied, dismissed and gets you called a transphobic bigot. that's how to win over hearts and minds. not.
