So this is where we're at

I had a discussion with a stranger today on the platform of reason -- Facebook.
I wrote something about a trans female athlete competing in the Olympics, and someone responded to me, addressing me as a "cis male."
I responded that I am not a "cis male"; that I am a "male."
She then replied by telling me that I was a cis male because I am a biological male who identifies as a male.
I said that this was true. But I choose to identify myself not as a "cis male" but as a "male."
She responded that it doesn't matter how I choose to identify. It is a just a fact that I am a cis male.
Unintended irony abounds it seems in the woke world.

I see these battles frequently on the Stoicism and Dostoyevski, Kierkegaard, Nietzche, and Kafka FB groups.
I hope this bullshit is just a short term tug of war that returns to a more reasoned approach but it’s truly a black eye for the left.

You’re holding out for “reasoned”? Hate to break it to you bud, but you’re setting yourself up to be sorely disappointed.

That’s a different question and I’m not sure we won’t.

Exactly. You asked "what isn't (a black eye for the left), these days?" and I gave you two example of people that not only aren't black eyes for the left but who are black eyes for the right to reasonable people.

It is for sure. I'd rather listen to the knee-slapping hilarity of a roomful of bubbas owning the libs with Killer Hillary jokes....at least there'd be something to drink...

One of the very few reasons I wish I was still on FB. Always loved lurking your posts.
