What you said is in no way related to what I said.
Want to try again?
well considering your use of LOL and LMAO I don't believe you have ever actually tried to relate to a parent making such a decision. 10s of thousands of children are diagnosed with gender dysphoria every year and only a handful actually have surgery, so it clearly is not an easy or lighthearted decision to make.
Because of how little it actually happens, I commented on the reason to even bring it up in the first place.
 
My reply was an imagination exercise. :unsure:
Also I'm not American so your indignation comes off a little extremist to me tbh.

So let’s exercise.
Do you agree with me about the weight of such a decision? If you were attempting to relate to a parent that made that decision, should you not consider that weight? Would you really be trying to relate to them if you did not consider it?
 
Yes let's exercise.
Imagine understanding people who design their homes using round angles.

"Not many people design their homes using round angles"
"That's a bad way of arguing against round angles"
"Choosing a house with round angles makes fitting furniture in the corners hard ... that doesn't mean that square corners are correct anyways"
etc etc...

Do you see why it's illogical and comes off as emotional?

well there are a few layers to that to separate. Gender surgery is an inherently emotional topic compared to interior design because there aren't people (that I know of) out there trying to outlaw and make round homes illegal. Not a lot of hate speech going around the internet about "round homers". You also started it off emotionally by literally laughing at the very premise of such a surgery.

2nd, the infrequency of those types of surgeries are not what makes them "ok", or "not bad", but instead I was using it to illustrate that because they happen to infrequent, the only reason to bring them up is because of an emotional attachment to them, for or against.
 
But do you ever go out of your way to reach those who had no other option but to live in a round home. I hope you're not one of those "selective empathy" people. Just asking, no offense.
I don’t think it’s weird to want to live in a round home.
 
Feels like talking to ChatGPT to be honest. 😆
I just don’t understand your original post about it. What is so funny about trying to relate to a parent that deciding to let their child have the surgery?
Your use of “cut their dick off” instead of “surgery” pretty much answers that for me, but I will ask anyways
 
Would you address that question to an Irakian family? Do you think they would even understand the question?

I reckon they would understand the question if they were making an honest attempt to relate to the parents.
 
Why would an Iraki family need to suffer online shaming for expressing their preferred imagination exercises?
I don't think I'm shaming you for your exercise. I don't really think I'm shaming you at all. I do however believe your "exercise" about relating to another person really had nothing to do with trying to relate to another person though. It seemed more like you were drawing a line in the sand about who you could not imagine yourself ever relating to.
which is fine, but its' not an exercise.

Tell me this is ChatGPT without telling me this is ChatGPT.

:coffee:
 
So you agree, then, that all your previous replies have nothing to do with my original post ...
My post can be read and understood in many ways depending on where you come from as a person.
You chose your way but that's only your understanding of it and it is in no way relatable to the concept and meaning of my post.
I honestly hope you understand. It's like me looking at the dark sky of the night asking someone why my car battery won't charge. I use solar power after all and the sun doesn't disappear at night ...
I’ve already explained my response to your original post.
Everything since has been under the guise of your “exercise”.
