  • I am aware of the reality that banning trans people doesn’t stop abuse.

    It seems like you’re talking about something different. Originally, you were talking about cis people who thought banning trans people would stop their husbands, etc., being abusive. In other words, that banning trans people would stop all abuse. It seems like what you’re talking about here is something different: not all abuse but only some abuse.

    the people who genuinely believe this may react upon learning their problems have not been magically solved

    Why do you think there are people who believe that banning trans people will stop all abuse?












  • I already did.

    I don’t believe you have. Could you quote the text where you demonstrate that I’m engaging in “whataboutism”?

    you haven’t even bothered explaining what you did mean if you weren’t engaging in whataboutism

    I meant what I wrote. If you’re confused about the meaning of anything I’ve written, feel free to ask me to clarify, I’m happy to explain.

    I think we both know why

    I think you’re not engaging in this discussion in good faith.






  • So was I … Simply mentioned the hypocrisy of both groups

    You said:

    “They need to not do business with brutal, oppressive systems and government like China.”

    Here you’re stating that China is a brutal, oppresive system and government. Saying that “they” (Western nations) need to not do business with “brutal, oppressive systems” implies that the Western nations are not themselves brutal and oppressive.

    You also said

    “Like it never stopped western nations from trying to benefit from the exploitation either.”

    and used the word “stopped” which is past tense, meaning that Western nations’ benefitting from exploitation of their population is something which happened in the past and is not something which is still happening now.

    You also said

    “just because the West used brutality and slavery does not justify China doing it now.”

    and used the word “used” which is past tense and even said “China doing it now”, clearly contrasting a (supposedly) past behaviour of the West with a current behaviour of China.
