And some states used to believe in keeping slaves, so that too "proves" that society isn't a "monolith." If you want to believe that slavery was in any way morally wrong-- and your previous posts indicate that you do believe this, no matter how much you dodge-- then it's just as easy to demonstrate that states advocating trans athletes are committing moral wrongs.


I don't believe in any objective morality and I don't know which of my arguments made you think differently. Morally wrong is a silly fairy tale to me. I find slavery personally and subjectively detestable but morally wrong, no.
But neither case proves that states don't need laws or that laws are purely subjective.
I never said States don't need laws. In fact in the atheist thread I argued that laws and rules are an inherent necessity to organization. They are subjective though. The fact that laws and rules are merely a form of consensus is the proof that they are subjective. We don't discover civil laws like we do laws of nature, we are their crafters and creators.
There's equally nothing objective about the causes you have stumped for here. You advocate a particular consensus of a segment of society rather than of society as a whole, that's all.
Im not shying away from the fact that the laws I advocate for are equally subjective. That's not what my argument is about. My argument is about how there is nothing objectively inconsistent about trans identities.
I'm not responsible for your misreading of my arguments, simply because you didn't understand them.
What don't I understand about your argument that you'd like to clarify?
And those were gamings of the system, while the system itself was about the practical reality of protecting citizens against rape and theft. But yeah, keep on defining rules by their exceptions. Next you'll say that math is racist.
I'm defining things with objective reality, you're the one who's argument is reliant on subjective rules.
It's absolutely false that every society's need to legislate against rape and theft is a "subjective want." More attempts to define by exception.
Here's the thing that's wrong with your argument. Objective things don't have exceptions. Subjective things do because they are made up. You're trying to define something as objectively false while relying on something purely subjective as your measurement. How can it be objectively false to say societies need to legislate against rape and theft is a subjective want? Did the Slaver Founders legislate against the raping and robbing slaves of the product of their labor? Yes or no? This is a fact based question. No exceptions involved. See how that works? Jesus ****ing Christ.....
And BTW you're using the same circular logic as any slave society that claimed that owners could do as they pleased to slaves because slaves were property. That was an exception, so you ought to like it.
Why do I have to like it just because I recognize it for what it actually is which is subjective preference? And they did do whatever they wanted to their slaves. That happened. That was a real objective thing that occured. You're confusing how you
feel about it with objective reality.
I stated that the trans ideology was being used to perpetrate more rape and assault, and your response was to claim that the added assaults don't matter more than your ideology.
No. My counter argument was that tran prisoners are just as often the victims of rape and assault as they are the perpetrators, if not more so. They have higher rates of victimization than other inmates. And that if your concern was rape and assault of prisoners that we should maybe just address that rather than simply being satisfied that rapes and assaults are mutually exclusive along biological sex lines.
They are still not equally subjective just because of your false definitions.
Do you have a better counter argument than "
not uh"? What objective thing gives one desire more objective value than another?
But again you prove that your ideology is more important than additional sufferings. Good one.
How is that conveyed by me wanting no rapes or assaults on prison?
