Thank you for the comment. What I was trying to. impress was/is what you do in private is your business, not mine. But when you stuff it down my throat, it becomes my business. I appreciate your words.
When I speak to "you," I will refer to you as you and your. If I speak about you to others, I will use masculine or feminine pronouns as I see fit, based on your chromosomes and obvious physical characteristics. If you are offended by my alleged misgendering, you can pound sand, because I wasn't talking to you!!
And to borrow from two of my favorites...
Dennis Miller: We should have stopped them at smoking. Smoke or don't; it's your choice. Private businesses have a legal right to allow or ban smoking within their walls. The govt has no standing. Once they found out they could control us, the just kept adding restrictions and they won't stop until we force them to stop.
Jordan Peterson: I will not allow you to dictate my pronouns. I've seen how this goes. Next you'll demand that I use adjectives that you like. NO! Not now; not ever.
Accommodation for people who don’t like their biological sex should be the same as any other mental illness, sympathy and professional mental health assistance if they want it. But separate facilities and sports leagues? No. If someone feels like they are royalty, are we giving them mansions and servants?
But they should be allowed to reach to full puberty and bodily sexual development and really come to some level of ‘consciousness’ about their body and their sexual
Identity (like an adult, at least 18) before they are counseled by health care professionals about hormonally changing and surgically mutilating their bodies. And make an ‘adult’ decision for themselves.
Like just about everything these days, just follow the money. Power and money are now driving every train these days, and crazy mixed up folks can't wait to get on board.
Having returned recently from Thailand -where one of my sons is living with his Thai wife and child- I am so very surprised why we in the Western world cannot just accept the different genders the way they do it they do in the East: simple acceptance without judgment: live and let live and don't make a fuss about it. No changes in how to address someone, no labels. This has been like that for a long time and the transgenders don't seem to feel the need to fight, defend or make ridiculous claims because they have their own role in society....
I am a long time admirer. As such, I feel compelled to tell you that I am very dissapointed in a comment made in this article: "I don't care what human (or animal if that's your preference) gender or methods you choose in your sexual preferences.
I don't get why the reference to bestiality was necessary. In my opinion, it didn't add anything. Instead, it allowed the mind to focus on that aspect of behavior vs the great points being made about agendas.
I understood the mention of animal preference here to be a reference to "furries" or "otherkin" and not bestiality at all when read in context - although we are not that far off from including this brand of sexual perversion in the next edition of LGBTQIA+
Joseph, I appreciate your reply. I hadn't thought of furries. Since I prefer to hold Dr Rowen in high regard, I'm going to consider his comment in this light. Thank you.
Maybe I'm the only one whose brain went off the rails; I genuinely hope so; it wasn't a pleasant place to go. Have a good day.
Terry - You're going to have to toughen up. If certain words are getting you "disappointed" then that's on you. Professionals aren't here to live up to your expectations. Learn to get along with others.
