Welcome to the argutrantative wiki!

This is a place to dump takedowns and sources for common anti-trans talking points.

If git and this set up is too scary for you, dump your ideas in the wiki or post an issue https://github.com/nafrondel/argutrantative/issues/new

This is structured to allow responses to be formulated independently of the arguments. Where two arguments merit the same response, they can link to the same response rather than requiring a brand new response to be formulated for each.

File names and folder names should contain no spaces e.g. "What is a woman" -> "WhatIsAWoman". This is to make linking easier!

All files should end in .md e.g. "WhatIsAWoman.md". This is to allow us to use the readme markup and link to other pages.

Structure:

Arguments: These are the positions and talking points e.g. "What is a woman?"

• Headline/Subargument e.g. "What is a woman?" in the context of sports is WhatIsAWoman/InSport

Responses: This is an archive of responses. These should be grouped by category of response followed by a unique name e.g. Category "Get Lost" containing "Get Wrecked" and "Rick Rolled". Where available, these should link to sources. e.g. Rick Rolled should link to the Rick Roll source.

Sources: This is an archive of sources. Each source should contain a summary of the source along with a publicly usable link to the source. If a public link is unavailable, an extended summary should be provided such as key findings and statistics along with a citation.

• Sources should be grouped by author followed by title

Arguments may link to multiple responses Responses may link to multiple sources Responses may redirect to other responses

This structure looks like this: Arguments -> Responses -> Sources

Example:

Arguments/WhatIsAWoman ->

• Responses/GetLost/GetWrecked
• Responses/GetLost/Raster -> Sources/RickAstley/RickRoll
• Responses/WomanDefined
• Responses/Youtube/WhatIsAWoman -> Sources/Critfacts/DefineWoman

If you want to link to a youtube video, use this: https://githubvideo.com/

To link to another file, use either a direct link by copying the url or a relative link. Example, if I want to link to the rickroll source from Responses/GetLost/Raster.md I must go up two levels to where the Sources folder lives, then go in to Sources to the RickRoll.md:

[Watch This](../../Sources/RickAstley/RickRoll.md)

Or go direct:

[Watch This](https://github.com/nafrondel/argutrantative/blob/main/Sources/RickRoll.md) The relative is preferred as it means you can take a copy of this whole repository and not rely on mine existing.

And finally, if you really must move something, leave behind a file linking to the new location, or suffer my wrath if you haven't changed all references to it!

e.g.:

Moving Sources/RickRoll.md to Sources/RickAstley/RickRoll.md. Sources/RickRoll.md should now contain a link to the new location:

[Moved to](../../Sources/RickAstley/RickRoll.md)
