Do you really claim to fully understand the biological underpinnings of sexual identity and orientation?
You have every right to your ill-considered opinion that being transgender is akin to thinking oneself to be a toaster. I’d just encourage you...
We’ve now moved on from comparing transgender people to people pretending to be cats to people pretending to be toasters. Gotta love the internet.
Interesting stuff in this article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity The 2012 book Introduction to Behavioral Science in Medicine...
I think it's like sexual orientation. Someone might be bisexual, and their sexual preferences might shift slightly to one sex or the other, but I...
Taibbi alluded to this in the first "Twitter Files" dump, but all the examples he cited and that were promoted on Twitter were requests directed...
It only bothers me if people are directing it as a slur against Black people and are using it in a manner that could normalize its usage as a slur...
I don’t think gender identity is frivolous for most of us, and I wouldn't assume it be so for a person I am interacting with (particularly one who...
The declining view count might be due to the new Following tab, which is what I primarily use. It shows only stuff from people I follow,...

Honestly, I think the vast majority of people would do the same in a personal interaction -- even if they profess differently on internet message...
@AroundTheWorld I'm somewhat puzzled by your position here. Haven't you posted in the past that you've had interactions with transgender people in...
You wouldn't be, I agree. And, no, I don't think someone thinking they are in a position of royalty when they aren't is a good comparison to...
Refusing to refer to an adoptive parent as a child's parent because they aren't biologically related would be ******* behavior, in my view. By...
No, people who are inconsiderate to others are assholes. That's the usual definition, isn't it? Don't expect others to think your choice to be...
Not at all. I fully tolerate other people's right to be assholes. Toleration doesn't mean suspension of judgment against uncivil behavior.
It really isn't, and it's weird that you don't understand this. No one who supports transgender women and uses their preferred pronouns is under...
