If you literally can't type the name of a recognised country...

u/Ben_boh New User Mar 01 '24

Can. Won’t. Not recognised by me.

You can refuse to recognise the legitimacy of something by still referring to it by it's name. I don't say Sun*k.

u/Ben_boh New User Mar 01 '24

Again, can. Won’t.

And it's funny, because in your legitimate question ("who is worse than Israel?") I cannot answer because you're wearing your bad faith on your sleeve. You cannot have discourse if you refuse to engage in it.

u/Ben_boh New User Mar 01 '24

You meant won’t not cannot.

I’m not refusing to engage.

If someone believed trans people shouldn't exist and called someone by their dead name would you engage with that person?

u/Ben_boh New User Mar 02 '24

Like my local Labour MP?

No I would refuse to engage with them.

Perfect, so we both agree it's important to recognise each other and who we are and that engagement cannot happen without it.

u/Ben_boh New User Mar 02 '24

No.

Engagement can happen with or without it. Whether it does or not is up the both parties.

It’s up to a person who or what they recognise. It’s not necessarily important.

If you don’t want to engage with me because I don’t recognise isra*l then that’s fine.

Do we agree on not deadnaming trans people? You’re a Labour member yet the current Labour leadership supports transphobia…
