It's unnatural to eat burnt meat or take an aspirin. Flameframing a complex issue with dictionary pedantry for messageboard battle is exactly the sort of thing the GP is talking about.

Finally someone says it. Every time I see a well-done steak, my soul cries. Medium Rare is how The Lord intended it.

Agreed.

I'm unsure what "flameframing" is but I don't think it's pedantic to define a term that that is key to OP's account of what defines a bigot.

This entire thread started by someone trying to troll and pass off their prejudice as curiosity. It was righteously flagged and the right thing is to leave it at that rather than get into a discussion on the 'naturalness' of trans people which is almost as crappy.

The discussion was NOT about the "naturalness of trans people". The discussion was about whether we can dismiss people as bigoted for using 100% accurately defined adjectives as descriptors - such as "unnatural" or "unhealthy". There's a huge difference and if you can't see that distinction then you're probably better off staying out of the discussion yourself instead of trying to shame me for having it.
