Topic	Awkward question.. Is "Transphobia" an illness?
sevihaimerej 12/12/21 10:53:05 AM #45:	hockeybub89 posted... I love when people pretend they are incapable of speaking language outside of very specific dictionary definition of terms. Apparently everyone is a third-grade English-teaching nun who makes you repeat yourself if you use a contraction or slang, at least when it benefits them to be. There are thousands of things the human race says every day that divert from the original or literal definition of a term. Linguistics is more than reading the dictionary. Language is a tool with a purpose, guiding the evolution of language requires an elegant touch or it could cause absolute chaos. At no point in your answer do you explain why calling it a phobia is better, just that people that would ask that question must be stupid or something. Good job wasting so many words to really only say one I guess, kinda impressive in a Jordan Peterson sort of way --- There was a sig here It's gone now <cite>sevihaimerej posted [p:960846821] in Awkward qu...
