Ad hominem
No no, this is an ad hominem: you're an idiot.
I was pointing out that your statement was a strawman. But really it's just a false statement. A lie, if you will.
There has never been any discussion about children consenting with respect to trans rights. The parents and/or medical professionals are ALWAYS involved in the decision.
But as I said, you're an idiot.
That isn't really an ad hominem. It's just an insult. An ad hominem would be: "What validity could that argument have when you, the person defending it, is an idiot?" Same goes for the other user's complaint.
That was all implied.
children consenting to what? what children? what data supports your vague opinion?
