I’m on the side of irregardless not being a word 🤓

After googling I am fairly confident that it is in fact a word!

It is quite the funny word. Basically irregardless means regardless… so, like, what’s the “ir” for? Regardless, it is considered not appropriate for formal writing. So I think you both get to be partially right here. Everyone wins!

A fully transitioned strawman who’s finally happy and can live his best straw life.

Five people so far who don’t know what a strawman is.

Yeah nobody brings religion into these debates. They just say things like “God doesn’t make mistakes” without even realising the irony.

If the debate is about reality, it’s about time the side opposing trans rights opens a scientific journal explaining the differences in the neuroanatomy of trans people and what are empirically proven methods to heal the distress provoked by gender dysphoria. Unless you actually don’t care about any of that, and the debate isn’t really about facts, but rather that the prospect that we may decide to accept that humans are a little more complicated than you had assumed personally annoys you.

Sure, sometimes it is discussed whether or not children can transition medically (p.s: it’s why they have to go through an army of doctors and psychologists), but to deny that the debate doesn’t revolve around if someone is happy or religion is ignorant.

Countless times I have seen people make the argument that transitioning has a high regret rate, countless of times I’ve seen people invoke religion and try to say being trans is a sin (what with the whole bible quote about men not wearing women clothing).

So when people debate about trans people, 90% of the time it is about someone’s happiness and getting in the way of it.

More rough than “can it”. Pretty sure the closer translation would be Shut Up.

I agree with it.

He said gueule, not bouche. It’s the rougher of the two terms.

Some debates don’t even need to happen anymore. No the earth isn’t flat. No trans people aren’t monsters trying to kill Jesus. No vaccines don’t turn you gay. No the world wasn’t created 6000 years ago.

We’ve legitimized too many morons in the world. Not everything is a debate, some things are just facts that need to be thought to the ignorant.

Genuinely a missing component of most debates:

Some questions have these things called “answers.”
