So that’s 20 for you. How many more before you’re willing to admit that I know what I’m talking about? How many more before you’re willing to admit that your gratuitous insults weren’t called for, that I’m not out to confuse, that I’m neither stomping my feet – something that’s kind of hard to do, so I assume you meant stamping – nor denying reality?

And just how many scholarly articles can you come up with supporting your viewpoint that there’s only one correct medical term for trans surgery, and that it’s the one you insist upon? What are you going to do, cite some old medical textbook that uses the term? So what? Even that won’t say it’s the only proper term. Nor could it. Nor can anyone. Nobody has that authority. Certainly not you.
