I’m not a nice person.
But seriously, I’m not hating in anybody, I just think that the concept it’s simply dumb because it just doesn’t make any sense, I mean, what the hell are you going to put on your ID and stuff? Or do you just carry two or a correction pen around and change it everytime you feel like it?
But, hey, it’s your life choices, not mine, you can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t directly affect me.
@Zennistrad
That is not “all it takes”. Nursing rooms, restrooms, roommate criteria, etc., are just a few examples of situations where you should follow the rules of your actual gender, not just make stuff up as you go along. SJW’s are always trying to get those rules bent to their own liking, whatever that happens to be for the month. And then there’s the “pronoun usage” madness. No, this is not so simple as just “being nice”.

Which wasn’t always meant quite as derogatorily as it seems to be these days.

Oh brother, what are you on about now? Fine, I’ll play along. If someone said, “You know mister Brony, I don’t think there is anything to be gained by watching a television series intended for young girls,” I would disagree, but be perfectly alright with his opinion as he expressed it. If he started ranting about neckbeard and pedophiles on the other hand, I would lose all respect for him. There’s a mountainous difference between these two approaches. One is rooted in an effort toward rationality and civility, while the other is dehumanizing and rude.
I bet I could find plenty of other examples of intolerance directed at basically anything from bronies to religions to the mainstream LGBT(Q) moment using the same justification.
@GreyDaze
Don’t start tossing labels around like they’re going to add anything of value to any kind of discussion or debate. If I started using words like fag or homo or something worse, no one would respect anything I said, and rightfully so. I see your selected terminology in exactly the same way.
@Zennistrad
Even if I bought into the whole “gender identity” thing, which I frankly don’t, the idea of swishing back and forth between the poles on a whim would classify you as a mental case for sure.
Gender is a little more complicated than personal identification per se. It’s a combination of social norms defining masculinity and femininity, and a persons internal perception of those norms along side the external pressure. But it should be noted that some of those norms appear to have biological origins. Or are at the very least influenced by a persons biology.
