      Diogenes once wandered a manosphere rally with a lamp in broad daylight, looking for a man. He couldn’t find one.

      When Plato defined a woman as a ‘adult human with a feminine appearance’, Diogenes burst through the doors of Plato’s academy in drag, and said, “Behold a woman!” Plato revised his definition to ‘adult human with a feminine self-identity’.

      Diogenes was once invited into the house of a transphobe. He found nowhere to spit except their face.

        Wasn’t Diogenes also the same person who plucked a chicken to criticise someone’s definition of a human as a featherless bipedal animal.

          That’s the story that the middle paragraph/sentence of the comment you replied to is referencing.
