i dont understand the connection, no one tried to change the definition of the N word, they just asked people rightfully to stop using it out loud directed at black people. which was good. saying the n word was never violence tho, it didnt physically hurt anyone, it was harassment.

in any case i gave examples above of right winged behavior that somewhat fits the bill that im also against, so i dont know what more to do. its hard to give direct counter examples as the rapid redefinition of words lately has been a left winged behavior, not surprising as it's a progressive tactic in and of itself. the more broad practice of shutting down conversation is often attributed to the left, but in reality the right does it all the time too. its just that the left uses redefinition more often, where as the right uses other moral/structural justifications to avoid criticism (religion, denial of historical importance, the constitution, etc).

and very few people would value yours, go post another conspiracy topic or watch paint dry, probably more your speed

it matters alot because as shown in this very thread, those who are afab are somehow "not capable" of commiting violent acts like this

which sets up the stage for the braindead conversation to go, "hrt did it, we must ban hrt on all levels"

its already happening across multiple platforms of social media, this line of talking

Not necessarily, words intended to incite imminent physical violence would also qualify. The progressive left has gone far beyond that, the closest definition for which is "Anyone who does not positively affirm my worldview is guilty of physical violence equivalent to murder". When that's your worldview, you can rationalize anything.

so I looked up afab and it means assigned female at birth

this seems odd to me, wouldn't it be correct to say ofab instead (observed female at birth)

either way its proven hard science that T is correlated to aggression so I'm not sure how that is "braindead"

are you implying the hatred is justified?

Categories are things we assign, not observe.

A stick with a rock at the end is just a stick with a rock at the end, but we assign it a label of hammer.

Similarly, we could break sex into any number of groups. We could say there are "females" which have a vagina and red hair, and then Fomales if they have brown hair.

What we categorize things as is arbitrary and human history is littered with designations we would now find totally meaningless.

We do it in science all the time. We say "we counted cells and assigned them group A if their mitochondria had this much signal, and B if they didnt". We don't pretend it's an objectively meaningful designation when we do it, we just make categories for convenience and assign things to them.
