Feel I need to repeat this for truth as... yeah, like, 99% of the examples raised in this thread are not "goalpost shifts," they're just double-standards, or else just standard libsanity.That gun thing isn't actually moving the goalpost, it's hypocrisy and guns for me but not for thee.
Goalpost moving is:
"Nobody's giving transgender surgery to minors"
"Transgender surgery for minors is rare, it basically doesn't happen"
"Transgender surgery for minors is rare, but it's important and life-saving treatment"
"More minors need transgender surgery"
I've been having discussions with a friend that remind me of one goalpost shift I've been seeing for years--the whole "fascist"/"nazi" thing where they always redefine the words so that basically they can never be counted as one but their enemies can.
