Here are a few I've heard:

  • "Identifying as demisexual is just a form of slut-shaming"
  • "'Demisexuality' is just the human norm, most people don't fuck someone they just met"
  • "Asexual claims of discrimination are an insult to the Black Americans who struggled in the Civil Rights Movement"
  • "Anyone who identifies as asexual is either an incel in denial or has a medical problem that needs to be cured"

"Being trans is wrong because it hurts the person that's trans since most people are mean to trans people"

This take is standard conservative garbage but at least it's just, like, a version of the archetypical Conservative argument.

"Your life will be easier if you conform." It is the negative peace which is the absence of tension, rather than the positive peace which is the presence of justice.

He followed it up with the zinger of "being trans is a sin because Christians won't accept you and therefore you'll find acceptance in the gay community and they'll turn you gay, which is a sin."

Do people understand the words that are coming out of their mouths.

Sometimes they very much do and the Sartre quote applies. Other times, no, they absolutely don't.
