it does change your point. bc if your point was limited to "self proclamed antis" no one would care bc lbr there aren't many of those. but your aim is broader than that. isn't it?

if it's not - please do specify that the only people you're talking about are those that are self-proclaimed antis and if anyone wants to apply this to others they're wrong and you denounce any such extrapolation.

there are people who say "I'm not an anti" but whose beliefs and actions align exactly with everything antis do and say, just as there are TERFs who claim not to be TERFs. a lack of self-identification with a term doesn't mean the term is inapplicable 100% of the time

So now you're moving the goalposts. It's not who self identifies as an anti. It's who you believe is an anti.

so in your mind, self-identification is the only way for a label to apply to anyone? a sexist isn't a sexist unless they claim to be?

You are the one who defined antis by self-identification, yes?

I said there are antis who self-identify as such and that this is how the term is overwhelmingly used; you're the one trying to nitpick. and you didn't answer the question.

No actually you defined antis as those who label themselves as such. And you didn't answer my question regarding why you revised your definition.

Replying to @Lecteronthelam
I revised my definition because you demanded that I exonerate everyone to whom the anti label is applied, regardless of applicability. I established the definition in the first place because you claimed it was misapplied rather than self-professed.
