And you are wrong.
Language is utterly meaningless if you dont actually care about what terms mean and use them accordingly. And especially you are famous for twisting what words mean, even fairly normal shit like "building" you tried to twist to fit your agenda nonsense.
Yall better start to add a list of words and how exactly you use them to your posts if you are completely unable to use words according to their actual meaning just because definitions can change over time.
And recently when i asked you to define genocide you also just copy pasted the UN definition, so fuck off and miss me with this nonsense
Again. What I'm telling you is not a question of facts but a question of method. There is what I say (
you can agree with it or not it's up to you), and there is what you are doing. Which is objectivelly and scientifically a problem and a form of conservatist usage of language.
Now. I'm telling you this diplomatically to try to make you understand without being disrespectful. You can either try to listen to what I'm telling you (
which is that you rigidify language and completely negate its linguistic and documented characteristics) or you can keep trying to prove me wrong on something you can't prove me wrong on, and you will end up eventually on the side of Ravager.
Because,
and that's what you do not seem to understand, politicization is not static, what you believe and the way you use the information you have influences the way you think. If you keep rigidifying the language and prevent yourself from looking at the reality of its deepness (
being in our cases, the work of scholars, scientist and activists mainly) you will lock your comprehension away from this knowledge BUT ALSO you will create a reactance (
that is already starting to appear here) against progressive subjects (
such as the awareness about a possible genocide against trans people) that will slowly make you align with reactionnary and potentially fascist rhetoric without you even being aware of it.
This is not only a potentiality, it's a logical politicization pathway. It's how politicization work.

The example here is telling : A possible genocide of trans people.
In this sentence alone you are blocking yourself from two very important fact:
- The reality of genocide (what it is) > As you question the term based on your miss-understanding of the principle
- The reality of trans identity (who they are) > As you have historically already questioned the legitimacy of their identity since you can't accept that a trans woman can be a "woman".
For these two reasons alone, we should already treat you the same way we treat Ravager. As a reactionary. But I believe there is more nuances to you and you are closer to us that you make it seem.

So again. I'm kindly warning you here that your usage of language prevents you from seeing the deepness of the documented reality of the world. I'm not trying to trick you or come on top here. I'm trying to warn someone I still respect a minimum that they are making a big mistake that could cost them dearly.
You would be wise to calm down the ego and listen to my warning. If this sounds patronizing, it's because I experienced the risk myself. I know the danger. I want to prevent it from happening to others.
