    Adult is essentially like age-based gender. Different cultures say adulthood starts at different ages, physical markers, or after some ritual transition, and assign adults a certain role in society. Some people identify as adult or not adult regardless of what their culture assigns to them. It’s all part of the arbitrary, usually unspoken rules each culture defines for itself.

          Uhm are you disagreeing about the intent of this individual because you are unfamiliar with this particular talking point or are you also advocating for raping children, Virtvirt588? Because one of their things is that they should be allowed to identify as a child in order to have sex with children, and this is that. Or are you just on their side?

            It’s not a talking point. It’s a description of fact into which you have added your own inferences. Regardless of whether you or I agree that it is legitimate to do so, some people DO identify as the things as which they identify. Identification is a mental state, not a description of externally accepted reality. The pope identifies as a servant of god whether or not it’s true.

                Okay. I will say this forthrightly. You are wrong. You are inserting ideas into what I said that simply aren’t there. You are identifying as a good person to yourself by attacking an imaginary version of me. You are not a good person. You are attacking a stranger on the internet out of your own self-righteous foolishness. You are wrong. You are deluding yourself and you should probably seek professional help rather than being online.

                I hope that’s clear enough for you. I will not be talking to you further.
