yes, by not involving costumes!
it's gatekeeping to listen to queer people. Huh. that's a new one.
and how are they being discriminated against? Are they being refused medical care, marriage rights, the ability to serve their country? I can't see these as equivalent as they represent two fundamentally wildly different cases - a person wants to wear a costume, vs., a person's sexual preferences that have been observed in humans and the animal kingdom everywhere.
I'm sorry if my premise is flawed, and I'm not trying to create arguments where there people should find love and support. If people came out of the womb identifying their fursonas perhaps I'd feel differently.
All clothing is costume. People costume to express all sorts of identities, it's not any more complicated than skirts, dresses, burkas, etc.
Textbook ~~"I have a black friend" fallacy~~ friend argument
Nobody comes out of the womb identifying as anything. If somebody transitions later in life does that make it less valid?
That is all I'm arguing for. If somebody self identifies their sexuality as anthropomorphic fictosexual who are you to argue with that? If they define their gender as otherkin why are you telling them that's not allowed?
Edited to use more technical phrasing to avoid accidental aspersions.
aaah. you have no intention of an actual dialogue this is just some silly attempt to shame me into agreement. fuckin' gross.
ain't telling shit to anyone. You keep laying this at my feet as if I've constructed it, when I simply stated I think the LGBTQ folk should be the ones to make that decision, not fictosexuals, furries, otherkin, whatever other edge cases you want to toss.
But keep attacking allies that don't perfectly line up with your arguments, in the long run, you're making it easy for me to disregard your entire premise.
