"Are you familiar with Sal Alisky's Rules for Radicals? Have I told you about my "Dilemma of the Megaphone" analogy? Have you even read Antonio Gramsci or Foucault?"
"For me, who I am going to relate to as a theta function, would be any function who I identify as deliberately trying to exist in math as a theta function."
Also defining it as a feeling rather than a fact. People 'feel' all sorts of things. Doesn't make them true except, apparently, in this instance.
Emotions are the last thing we should trust in terms of what is real, and yet they're exactly what's been used as the criteria for transgenderism. It's the problem all throughout prog logic, like 'feeling' unsafe or 'feeling' like a victim of bigotry. Doesn't matter if they're not true, doesn't matter how self-inflicted they are, doesn't matter how mentally ill the person already says they are. Their feelings demand others accommodate them, and if they don't whatever happens next is everyone's fault but their own.
Emotions lie. Maybe that's why shitlibs let them define reality for themselves.
It's because the !ifrickinglovescience types are deeply religious. They've gotten rid of the theological aspects, but their manner of thinking is identical to pre-Enlightenment apologetics. Knowledge doesn't come from empiricism or even rationalism, it comes from revelation.
Unfortunately, Friedrich Nietzsche is too busy eternally recurring to rise from the grave and tell these losers he fricking called it.
Of course it is. If it's just a feeling you can include all the heckin' valid . You don't have to even have evidence, you can just say that's how you feel and boom, welcome to the club.
Pakman somehow annoys me more than Destiny. And, my god, this is the last question on Earth that should be a 'gotcha'. Everyone has heard this question before by now, especially among the terminally online culture war grifters. And yet, 2 years after a fricking movie with that name came out, the best Pakman has is a circular definition, lol. "Well, uhh, a woman is like who, uh, I relate to as a, uh, woman because they identity as a woman".
His point is so childish I'm partially inclined to believe he's baiting.
"I identify as a woman someone I see trying earnestly to live in this world like a woman. If I see myself in a wig with a name like David and a voice like mine, I'm not going to assume that person is a woman"
Sorry? What? A) Has he seen the majority of mtfs? They have the voice of a man and are in a wig (and a dress). The only difference is they have a name like Krystal or something. So that is the differentiating factor?
And B) How does he gets to say what someone's gender is? Who died and made him the judge of gender? Either you leave it to an established, scientific, legal basis or you make it free for all where one day I get to be a man and kill someone, the next day I get to be a woman and go to a woman's prison and r*pe half the inmates.

He gave a circular definition. This one is still making libshit's logic fold back over on itself four years later without even trying. "What is a woman?" A four year old could answer this. But it escapes the educated.
It's thanksgiving. A time for coming together. A time for family. A time to switch it up and ask "what is a daughter" As soon as someone mentions any familial relation.

What is a woman?
Leftoids: Well you see this is really quite complicated and to answer this question you need to listen to me ramble for the rest of the afternoon.
Rightoids: She has a kitty and not a peepee.

Good old recursive reasoning, trying to define woman in terms of feeling like a woman

TL;DR: He says the question is a trap and then falls directly into it by following it up with a wordier version of 'a woman is a woman'
