Cutting off your dick, and cutting hole between your legs doesnt change your sex.
Any more than chaning logos in car changes car manufacuer.
Bandwagon fallacy does not apply when talking about a legitimate and accepted organization of professionals who have a reasonable understanding and take on the matter.
That being said, if you disagree with the stated professionals, you might call such a statement an https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-authority
However, do read the caveats as described on the site.
"nor is it reasonable to disregard the claims of experts who have a demonstrated depth of knowledge unless one has a similar level of understanding and/or access to empirical evidence."
@Jasse, I think it speaks to the intensity with which such people experience whatever they are experiencing
@JustTom i was wondering why he went to bandwagon and not authority
*shrugs* No idea, but I corrected it.
If someone spends $100,000 of their own money and perseveres through humiliation and hardship, can't you give them some credit for the validity of their experience?
Is buying into Star citizen a mental illness
wait, bad example
lol
it might be
Yes
Yes it is
Bwahahahaha
I managed to dodge that bullet
I have other addictions
Why would society play along with peoples mentall illnes?
Don't get me wrong, if you bought in early and didn't know the shitstorm it was going to be, you can be forgiven, but now? XD
idk, why do we play along with religion?
Good one
I'm religious
Sigh
Honestly I think its just another Peter Molyneux hype thing
Cat, what's your definition of hurt?
The guy behind SC is pretty much another PM. Except he actually believes in himself.
maybe, perhaps, because what is defined as a mental illness and what is not can be cultural rather than scientific?
While Peter just keeps lying his ass off about his projects. He did make good games, but he overhyped them like hell.
@Malt_Hitman , I see it as an issue of liberty
i think its just people trying to be nice
Trans peopme are hurting healt of the nation.
Believing your sex is something it demonstrably isn't is a denial of reality and is a form of mental illness, yes.
Just like if someone believed they were a dog.
Some end up becoming too nice. But thats dependent on you.
Or a chair.
no, pretty sure its politicians that are hurting the nation. Like always
Like you know, a very forgiving parent.
ANd you get a spoiled child or a greatful one.
How does trans "hurt the health of the nation"? I'm not speaking of individuals, I'm speaking of the entire class.
Funnily enough trans people at least the vocal ones
Consider themselves a separate class.
