I've been called "a giant faggot" but I'm medium at most. ♥️

I'm happy for you ...or sorry that happened.
That's alot of words which notably are not an example of the adjective "illegal" being used as though it were a noun to describe a human being and it not being derogatory.
Come on, bill Clinton. You just gonna yap about what "is" is or you gonna prove your point? Make with the example.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 6 months ago:
The link you offered does not seem authoritative.
The example it proffered of:“Sometimes I don’t always feel like jogging” doesn’t make any sense.
Makes perfect sense.
Are you going to keep litigating "Sometimes inherently means sometimes not" or are you going to provide an example of a non-pejorative use of referring to a human being as though they themself were illegal?
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 6 months ago:
"Sometimes" is different than "Sometimes although not always"
That I why I had to use different words to type the two different concepts.
Your definition only listed the first, which does not inherently indicate the second. - Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 6 months ago:
The definition does not indicate it can be not derogatory—which makes sense because it's derogatory.
You despite claiming sans evidence that it is possible to refer to a human being with a pejorative adjective and it be anything other than derogatory, won't even back up your claim with a single non-derogatory example of its use.
I get why you won't—'cause you can't—but if you were right you'd think You could give an example rather than litigating the implied corollaries to "sometimes".
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 6 months ago:
You’re going to have to provide examples where sometimes means always.
I'm not the one making the claim here, you are.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 6 months ago:
If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.
No it isn't. Nothing about "sometimes" being true itself proves the corollary "always" is false.
Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.

state your fucking position.
I already did, and I don't feel you are arguing in good enough faith—having been willing to concede being trans "is sinful"—to address you in any deeper detail.
You jump on the name thing rather than seeing it as an outcrop of assigning sex and gender and then bitch about it in other threads using disingenuous descriptions that conflate the two but only address the later.
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 6 months ago:
What do you do?
Concede being trans is sinful?
Oh wait no, that's what you do.
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 6 months ago:
“Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”
Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.
If I told you "kicking puppies is wrong" would you demand 'an alternative' to do instead?
Don't kick puppies. - Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 6 months ago:
HAVE NOT STATED AN ALTERNATIVE!
not doing that, Jesus.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 6 months ago:
Do you know what sometimes means?
If I said, "The sun sometimes rises in the east." that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim "...and sometimes it rises in the west." I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the "sometimes" in my first statement.
How can calling a person (and not actions) "illegal" be anything but derogatory?
Explain your west-rising sun, please. - Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
You have yet to describe the times it is not.
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
I notice first off you're conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.
Makes me doubt your faith, that.
I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
What claim is unsubstantiated?
That there can be a non-derogatory utilization of the adjective illegal to refer to a person with as though the word were a countable noun.
All that has been done is to post a dictionary entry which agrees that when it is used as a noun it is a slur—behavior I would not expect from one who has endeavored excellence toward their fellows.
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
what. is. your. alternative.
Not shoving people into boxes we know aren't accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.
Why is that even a thing you want to do?
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
lessen the impact of its existence
You mean like not assigning people to classes we know can be incorrect they then would have to change?
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
Are you describing ableism as an argument against the existence of privileged classes??
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
Sometimes disparaging + offensive.
And since you have yet to explain how it can not be your claim that it is is unsubstantiated.
I am working under the assumption no one here—who purportedly all agree to "be excellent to each other"—is being intentionally despairing to their fellow human beings hense my continued confusion as to what "illegal" used (seemingly erroneously) as a noun means.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
Good for you finally letting go of the notion that illegal is only an adjective.
as a non-slur which you still have not explained how it can be.
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
Why do programs have default settings if they’re not the ideal settings for everyone?
I don't think you can really compare screen resolution with the establishment of a disprivileged class that didn't exist
As I said in my previous comment, why shouldn’t the objective be to reach a point where transitioning is completely painless?
Why should a person need to transition? Why do cis people need or deserve the privileged status there being a default they adhere to grants them?
- Comment on Why did they put eyeliner on evil Kirk 😳 (I'm watching TOS for the first time) 7 months ago:
Leonard Nimoy and the animal actor who portrayed the Alfa 177 canine (in all likelyhood) are both dead.
I would prefer a world where a cute happy dog and Leonard Nimoy were still with us and William Shatner had died, twice.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
When referring to people who entered or reside illegally in the country.
...you should probably refer to people, huh?
- Comment on Why did they put eyeliner on evil Kirk 😳 (I'm watching TOS for the first time) 7 months ago:
Also this doggo is absolutely adorable in that costume
The wrong two of those actors are dead. ☹️
It should have been Shatner, twice. - Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
The definition clearly says sometimes which means you have to use context to determine if it is used as a slur.
I asked you how it could not be and you have yet to offer an explination.
Illegal is a noun too
No it isn't.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
There is nothing in the definition that says illegal is a derogatory term.
There very much is, even if we limit our definitions to the one which you gave me. I pointed as much out to you 23 hours ago.
When I say illegal I’m referring to a person who has entered or resides in the US illegally.
That isn't what that word means except as a slur which your very precious dictionary even cops to.
You still have not answered my inquest regarding how using an adjective as a noun to refer to a person could be anything other than dehumanizing as you still claim that it can potentially be.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
Your warped views do not change the definition.
That it's a slur? If you want to admit you're slurring human we can be done here, but all of you fine people here have stringently maintained that is not what you are doing and I so wish to believe you.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
I gave you the definition of illegal here.
One that doesn't fit with your later claim that it isn't derogatory so both assertions cannot be true.
The word you used doesn't even mention people so what is it to which you are referring when you use it?
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
Illegals
Again, I'm not sure what that means?
You said upstream all people have value so I can't imagine that's a dehumanizing reference to people.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
there’s more to an illegal than how they entered the country.
You're going to have to explain what the word means to me then, because the phrase by itself doesn't even seem to refer to immigration status at all and I don't know what you mean by it.
- Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals 7 months ago:
Well, those two have much stronger connatations than “illegal”
What is it that makes the one you would censor bad, though?
