Hate Speech
Today I was victimised! This person - whom I believe to be mentally deranged, because they must be to have a different opinion to me! - said that he disagreed with my thesis that companies should employ more trans people than cis scum because he thought "there aren't that many trans people, so it'd be impossible to fill those kinds of positions, especially in medicine, emergency relief and services, if we employed maybe 15 people [guessing stats, as the purpose of this piece isn't the actual argument; don't judge] per 1000."
But you see, this man disagreed with me. Therefore I shall take from his right of Free Speech by implying that he has a mental illness, or make a joke of his thesis, thereby ensuring that his entire statement is removed of any seriousness or legitimacy.
As a serious note: patriarchal powers have used the "mental illness" or "comedy" lines to keep feminists down for centuries, and people still use this kind of "de-legitimising" discourse and logic to dismiss views that do not support their own.
