I've read over Roy's argument for pro and I feel Con should be near impossible to win. Of course, Raisor could do it, but again, not even Orogami stands a chance against Raisor in any topic that's not entertainment.

I think the main problem with opponents of transgender is that they mistake gender for gender identity and vice versa. They think Transgender people are trying to philosophically conclude whether they are male, female, or a third gender, while in reality it's a belief similar to religion, that should be respected.

I’m surprised you resorted to using science to refute philosophy. That shouldn’t be necessary. I am not saying transgender is wrong, I am saying it has inconsistencies with a belief mindset (as your sources say it can depend on your brain’s birth state, but some think it is fluid... )

What’s your thought on this? It’s not that it’s bad for society, or science, but rather, on a metaphysical logical realm, it starts to fall apart (similar to a religion)

Do you guys just want to use this as the gauntlet debate so we can quickly roll through it?

sorry about my confusing paragraph. I meant to say that encouragement costs 300$/person, a greater amount than 0$/person (legislating a law)

re-reading the debate, I thought of something interesting. Is it possible for me to manipulate the resolution in any way? Some kind of "failure is the mother of success" kind of thing? Where I prove because we are finding all this fraud and getting rid of it, improves quality of education?

I had trouble linking a second study I found to support the first study. Here it is. I'll re mention it in the last round, but know that there was more than one that added to the 92 % statistics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4727534/

thanks for the debate. It helped even further boost my essay. I didn't realize I forgot to stress precisely how deadly it was, or how it was unique compared to other instances of Environment harm. I can't find a good place to insert Unique vs Alcohol, but it definitely helps to think about it.

that's kind of the point lol. My usual style isn't this reckless but I thought it was worth a try when Oromagi's own definition gave Con the one out of million chance to give some kind of case.

oh I see what Mall's trying to say, he doesn't understand English traditions and he thinks "white power" is similar to honoring family. If you're not caught up to American news, it's easy to be misguided by white supremist to think it's a heritage kind of thing.

@Danielle

this system is same as DDO. I could make this win/loss next time if you want. Also, I know my counter-argument is flawed, but combined with environment + finance harms, the "my body my choice" begins to break down as it infers "yes, I can wash my body in a toxic river, polluting it even more if I want."

Never mind. I thought it over and I feel like the "assigning roles" in society is probably outdated. If we were arguing about 1600's, Binary vs non-binary might be worth a shot.

Here's an interesting philosophical topic though: In an alternate universe where Gender was binary, would this world be superior to live in than our world? After all, now there are no transgender people being made fun of. And yet, if Gender WAS binary, that could reinforce the stereotypes of man being strong and brave, and women being weak and kind.
