How Do I Win An Argument About Nonbinary Gays/Lebians Being Valid? (Somebody Thinks They Aren't)

Deleted Account 12/28/2021 09:50 pm 1164

I've been arguing in a 16 comment thread on quotev.com for 2 days about nonbinary gays/lesbians. They're valid and some person keeps denying it. I sent them two .edu links to back up my case, and they keep insisting two websites ain't enough even though they're official approved websites.

They sent me dictionary websites with .com links. Like I'm clearly winning cause I'm correct. They won't stop replying and I'm getting tired cause I'm gonna keep going to prove my point.

They also claim bisexual people only like 2 genders, when the definition is 2 (or more). They brought up pansexual, but that is under the bisexual umbrella. I had then explained pansexual deals with no preference while bisexual may include preference.

Any tips guys?

tell them youve wasted enough energy on the argument and if they want to stay intentionally uneducated and misinformed then they can, because its not your responsibility to educate them and they can stay ignorant

its not worse putting more time energy pr effort into, theres not gonna be any convincing them
its understandable to be frusterated tho /g

I agree with the other commenter that you should just move on. People usually don’t want to admit when they are wrong, especially if they already have a very clear stance on the topic at hand. Change also doesn’t happen overnight, & it usually takes more than one person to change someone’s mind. I used to have pretty exclusionary views, but after months of being exposed to opinions other than my own & doing my own research, I’ve stopped caring how other people identify as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. I know it can be hard stepping down from arguments, but sometimes giving that other person the space they need to actually think about how they feel is for the better.
