Man claims to hunt non-binaries

Wow. I dig the spirit of starting a conversation. And, yeah. People like that often see themselves as "the hero." But this fella seems a few bricks shy. How exactly would a conversation with him proceed? I have low expectations.

I could be wrong about that. Maybe this guy would benefit from an open discussion. And furthermore, maybe some people who are teetering on the edge may benefit from listening to [the attempt at] a conversation... if anything just to see how ugly and ignorant the anti-trans movement can be.

But I'm not holding my breath. I'm almost thinking Poe's law here. This guy is an idiot.

Also, I suspect that he is using "treatment" as a euphemism for violence. So there's that, too.

Are non non-binaries "him"s? It's so hard to keep up.

I think I’ve mentioned before that part of me thinks that the only way to contain the problem may be to take the areas where this sort of shit is normalized and making them into their own Balkanized nations, but that the rest of me knows that this is more or less inevitably going to lead to a massive humanitarian crisis for everyone in there except maybe the white cishet Christian men who aren’t inclined to think this sort of shit is wrong.

Transgender and non-binary aren't the same thing.

[vulcanlogician]

Transgender and non-binary aren't the same thing.

Nobody here is claiming they are. But the person in the video seems to lack knowledge that they are distinct.

Transgender and non-binary aren't the same thing.

How would anyone ever know?

The person in the discussion/argument would likely not benefit. He is probably very much committed to doing the lord's work.
I am thinking that some of the audience might benefit.
It is sort of like watching "Day's of our lives", Dynasty, "As the world turns", "All my children", "Coronation Street" and such shows. You watch them to learn to not be killers, backstabers, adulterers, assholes, jerks.
You watch them and maybe you talk about them with your family and friends and you comment on them about how screwed up they are.

I am assuming that such shows are about backstabbing. I don't watch them but I have seen a couple of episodes of "Coronation Street".

I’m all for discussions and debates but this guy sounds dangerous. The first message that needs to be sent is that such behavior or threats of behavior will not be accepted. The man has a right to his beliefs. He has a right to dislike someone, even if it makes him a bigot. However, he does not have the right to discriminate, and nobody has the right to “snatch” ANYONE, unless you are an officer with a warrant for someone’s arrest, or if you are a parent whose small child ran off in public and needs retrieval. I don’t think that’s up for debate as it’s quite decisive, common sense, and it ain’t rocket science. What this guy is proposing would be absolutely criminal if attempted.

Is there a test that can be performed?
