Sadly, we're at a phase where we place value in outrage. Just 'cause someone is outraged about something doesn't mean they're correct.
Yeah, that is ridiculous. Nearly anything can outrage somebody somewhere
Yes, gender is a made up word that's not interchangeable with sex. You're born with a sex, but your brain drives your gender.
That's why we have fruitcakes. I understand and accept that.
No, I will not respect you because you're a pansexual non-binary that identifies as a featherkin. You have to earn my respect. You don't get it just for 'being brave'. No, bravery is doing something risky because it needs to be done. There's no risk in identifying as a fruitcake in modern America.
No, it doesn't make you special. It just means you're likely mentally ill. And, no... Being mentally ill doesn't earn you respect. No, I'm not outraged when people treat you like a fruitcake. None of your intrinsic rights have been violated. No, you don't have a right to a pronoun. No, you don't have a right to respect from your fellow man. You have a right to respect under the eyes of the law, and only so far as you continue to deserve it.
