Wait. Why creepy?

On what is your sense of the “creepy” based?

I suppose - and I am oversimplyfing - they are creepy in a sense similar to creepy guys in general.

She is suggesting that she does not know about gender ideology, and thus presumably has not heard of autogynephelia, gender, fluidity, non-binarism, transitioning and other such aberrations, so is not defending them. I was expecting she would be, since they are routinely implicated in the defending...

I think "Have you been snorting the maple-flavored Canadian fentanyl again?" is a much better comeback.

Just wait for the carefully constructed and rational counterargument which will consist of 'how much glue have you been sniffing?' :roll: Seems like a pretty simple question. Have you been partaking of the famous Canadian fentanyl? Have you been partaking of all-American glue? These are not counter...

I can see exactly what's going on. But gender ideology can't allow us to see it. It insists both that gender is a real thing (i.e. that it's necessary for Bob to become, that his desire is legitimate and has as its object "being like a girl"), and also that "girl" is an infinite...

Gender ideologists all make it. They can't help it, because they want people to "transition," which means "stop being one thing, and become another." I was hoping for something a little more specific. I am not sure who the "gender ideologists" are - but I know that in ...

It is interesting how a number of posters casually assumed my ideological beliefs based on my original post. Even the most hard-core TERFs would agree that men have the right to wear dresses if they want - they would dispute any claim that someone can change their gender identity, or that gender ide...

Girly clothes - dresses, clothing with lots of pink in it, frilly stuff, that sort of thing. This is stereotyping, of course. But then, people turn around and say, "It's wrong to stereotype." It's also essentialism, and people will say, "Essentialism is wrong." In these discussi...

That's not stereotyping at all :lol: So I assume that your definition of a girl is anyone who wants to be a 'pretty princess' in pink I have no idea where you are getting that from. I do not wear, and do not like wearing, "girly clothes". This has no bearing on whether or not I am a girl.

Now, would ANY one, here, be brave enough to go to say the islands in the south pacific ocean and tell 'those men' there, who wear 'dresses', 'you are wearing girly clothes'? Different style of dress. If you read Plato, you probably know that any attempt to precisely define anything us futile. But ...

What I am essentially getting at, here, is that NONE of 'us' KNOW when is the 'right time' to 'offer' or 'provide' so-called 'feedback' nor even what is the 'appropriate feedback' to give or offer. It is possible to make a pretty good guess, and personally I err on the side of not offering feedback...

Strange men telling me that if dressed more feminine and grew out my hair I would look very pretty — not really open to that very much. If I am work I will maintain a professional demeanor and try to redirect the conversation towards them buying a circular saw or something. And there are some good ...

What are 'girly clothes'? You mean you don't know? It was JUST A CLARIFYING QUESTION posed, and JUST ASKED TO you. you are IN a 'philosophy forum' and made A CLAIM. So, what are 'girly' clothes, EXACTLY? Why exactly do you overuse the word 'exactly' and capitalize it so much? Girly clothes - dresse...

Have you EVER OFFERED so-called 'friendly feedback'?

A couple of times, when I saw an obvious way to make the dress look better of the guy wearing it - and I did not offer it to complete strangers out of the blue.

Normally, I will only offer provide feedback when asked.
