Fact: rifle posted a specific quote from herdman stating that a child was incapable of knowing what gender they wanted to be.
No, that is an alternative fact. If you go back and read Herdman's post, the majority discusses homosexuality. You keep claiming that Herdman's post was only talking about gender identity. The overwhelming portion of Herdman's quote was about homosexuality. Then, Herdman changes to also talk about gender identity at the end. This is seen in his statement which reads: "Plus, some of these fathers should be ashamed not getting the kids to participate in man stuff. Guns, hunting, fishing, baseball, knives, cars, football, running a weed eater." This last statement deals with gender identity, not homosexuality. In other words, the majority of Herdman's post was about homosexuality, but he then flipped to also discuss gender identity.
Next, Thunder claimed that Herdman was discussing gender identity. In reality, if you look at Herdman's post (which is the exact thing I quoted in my response to him), the majority of his post talks about homosexuality, with only the end briefly referencing gender identity. Thunder claimed that my inclusion of sexuality somehow muddied the waters, changed the topic, or was out of my own confusion of the two. In truth, it was clearly none of those. Thunder mistakenly claimed Herdman's post was just about gender identity (which it only briefly touched on after more of a post about homosexuality).
Fact: rifle responded to this statement (the very one he chose to quote) by arguing that he understood his sexuality at a very young age.
No, that's an alternate fact. If you look at my post, you will see two main paragraphs. The first main paragraph discusses homosexuality, since that is what the majority of Herdman's post was about.
The second main paragraph, since it was a different subject, was about gender identity, since Herdman's post first discussed homosexuality then touched upon gender identity.
Not only did I response to both parts, but I did it in chronological order to Herdman's discussion of both topics.
Want definitive proof of how wrong you are? Look at my opening paragraph to start that post: "What makes you think these kids are confused? The majority of them are not confused at all and continue with their
identity/
preference throughout their life."
Make sure you observe that I have posted "identity/preference" showing the difference between the two. In my opening paragraph, I mentioned both, showing a difference with the backslash, then went on to discuss each one of those in separate paragraphs.
If you'd like, I can even take the time to break up Herdman's post by paragraph to show how he discussed homosexuality in a few paragraphs and then touched upon gender identity in a short paragraph at the end.
There isn't any confusion. It wasn't written poorly. It wasn't muddied or confusing. Not only did I respond to both parts of Herdman's post about homosexuality and gender identity, but I also did it in the same order he presented both. I also clearly showed that they were two different things.
You aren't sort of wrong about this.You are completely wrong, just as you were by claiming that Herdman's post was about gender identity when the majority of it was about homosexuality and just like you were about claiming it was my "original" only to claim it was after that.
