The difference is, no real adults ever got involved in emo or punk. Being trendy and trying out things like this was strictly a kid thing for people college age or young professionals. It petered out because it had to when the kids got serious jobs. With the trans story, it's the adults in society who have actually gone mad -- and thereby supporting it -- by sanctioning this.[/quote]

Plenty of adults got involved in emo and punk. Maybe not "real" adults, as you define it, but in that case, it's circular reasoning: No real adults got involved in emo and punk because any adults involved in emo and punk weren't real adults.

You sure pay a lot of attention to the ways that other people choose to live their lives. Or at least one way that other people choose to live their lives. Why?[/quote]

You know exactly what I mean by this. Society in general -- with all of it's laws, policies, etc -- in no way started changing to accommodate emo and punk.

[b]And speaking of circular reasoning, why do people of your persuasion always go back to the line about "how other people choose to live their lives.[/b]" That's BS and you know it. It affects all of us, because it affects my kids in their school.[/quote]

No, that's not circular reasoning. Circular reasoning basically takes the form: A is true because B is true, and B is true because A is true.

However, you're right -- your argument about real adults and emo/punk is more accurately an example of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. Like this:

You: No adults got involved in emo and punk.
Me: Plenty of adults got involved in emo and punk.
You: No REAL adults got involved in emo and punk.[/quote]
