Oh, so I misread no. 1. More nuance, then: Someone I know who I know is a biological female wants to be addressed with a male name and as a "he". I will do that, simply to be polite and accommodating. I wouldn't intentionally be a jerk about it. As @StupidMoniker says, that shouldn't be mandated/sanctioned though. Also, I don't think I could get myself to use they/them or some other complicated/made up stuff. Still just one person.
I am not sure where lines should be drawn or if lines should be drawn. A lot of these issues are complex and require a lot of thoughtfulness and nuance. But I do think it's time people start treating being transgender as a genetic disorder and not a social choice people make to get some kind of benefit. No wants to be transgender. History will look at how barbaric our time was in the treatment of this group.
Dave Chappelle tells jokes about every community except one community of dudes got really angry at his jokes These dudes also hate JK Rowling A successful woman for just believing in women These dudes go into women’s sports and beat them while showing them who has big balls @AroundTheWorld @Commodore
All these people can’t take jokes And didn’t even listen to the jokes Chappelle has bigger balls then all of them
I really just don't give a sh$t. If you aren't hurting anyone it's none of my business. Your body your choice. Personal freedom.
there is no line to draw for me...they don't bother me I know exactly zero transgender people in my life them wanting to be referred to via whatever pronouns does not affect me one iota there is not some epidemic of trans people causing issues in public bathrooms so when it comes to this topic
I draw the line between myself and the ignorant culture war baiters. The ones that think there's some threat to themselves or their family. There isn't. They're just afraid of their own shadow or they're projecting.
This sounds good, and I agree with what you wrote, but almost all of the options listed require you to actively change your behavior to accommodate members of that group. And some of the activists demanding that all that be made mandatory are quite aggressive about demanding that change from you, or else (you will be canceled, etc.).
Count me among the people who simply don't give a ****. I'm secure in my masculinity, and gays, transgenders, etc. are absolutely no threat to me.
That's funny coming from a guy that's devoted hundreds of posts and countless hours to the topic of transgenders and Paul Pelosi's underwear.
my day went on as normal when I found out about that I can’t sit here and fake care or be fake outraged
Having transgendered friends and students this issue does affect me personally and is probably why I have the positions that I have. I don’t consider trans people to be an abstraction either as a threat to my morality or as an oppressed minority to be reflexively defended. They are people and as much as all of us would like to be treated with respect and tolerance.
