    Also, double negative…

    Anti-trans ban? That’s a double negative, when cancelling our the negatives, that means it’s pro-trans.

    Sorry but I think with the mathematical part of my brain. Throw two negatives into a sentence and they cancel out and become a positive.

        the first doesn’t negate the second, it describes it. it is a ban which is anti-trans or transphobic. this is not a double negative!

      mathematical part of my brain

      There’s no such thing. It’s just a gooey mass of billions of randomly firing neurons that can coalesce into patterns of signals and “brute force” answers to math problems. We are not logic machines with well defined mechanisms of functionality like a computer. We just fake it very well. That’s why we can make mistakes. A well built computer does not make mistakes.
