    I’m not saying you’re wrong because you’re contrarian, most of the people here fall into the category. What I am saying is that using the fact that an opinion is contrarian is not evidence that it is correct.

      And what I’m saying is that what you claim I claimed was never claimed by me.

      Since the discussion seems to have derailed let me do a brief summary:

      • Original guy: here are some opinions I have
      • Other guy: your opinions don’t make sense, some of them contradict other ones
      • Me: they don’t contradict at all. It is perfectly coherent to have those opinions.
      • You (correct me if I’m wrong): your opinion is wrong because it seems you’re a contestant for a contrarian contest.

        Let me put it another way. You are wrong in regards to trans participation in sports but not because you are being a contrarian. You are also wrong to use your contrarian stance to justify your opinion. Hopefully that clears things up.

          1. My argument has nothing to do with trans or sports. My point is that his opinions are not contradictory.
          2. Yor point has gone from “you are wrong for being a contrarian” to: “you are wrong because _____”

          Fill in the blank please.

            For whatever reason we are not understanding each other. I don’t think I can restate it any more clearly. I guess we just have to leave it at that.
