Draw a line in the sand and stop engaging.

I mean, the reality is that you're not going to change a person's mind at that point.

Yeah but how? how do you see someone call you a misogynist and think "This is a fine place to leave it. I don't need to explain why my thinking that dysphoria is most effectively combated by transitioning is not in any way connected to hating women"

How do you find a point at which walking away doesn't feel like an admission or a concession or an act of cowardice?

[(Anonymous)]

You either are a misogynist, or you aren't. Them calling you one doesn't change the situation either way. It doesn't matter. Similarly, if they think you're a coward or that you're conceding, who gives a shit? They can think that as much as they want, and it won't make it true.

For me personally, at a certain point, you just have to decide that your mental well-being is more important than some crazy person on the Internet thinking that you're wrong or a coward. And just say, you know, it's been pretty clear what the fuck we're talking about here; there's no more purpose to this; I'm out.

"if they think you're a coward or that you're conceding, who gives a shit?" True, but I would feel like I was giving in.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not and you need to stop thinking that way because it is demonstrably unhealthy

Acknowledging that some people are just crazy isn't giving in

While talking through ideas with people who have deeply different opinions can be productive and good for the both of you, it sounds like you've long passed the point where you're actually talking.

Right now it sounds like you're wasting your time, that she is wasting *her* time, and the person who breaks this discussion off wins a karma point. Say, "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I have other things to do now," and move on. You could be scrubbing your toilet instead of this. It would be clean when you were done.
