    Hardly, I don't generalize liberals, I have observed them, noted their positions, and the only thing I've ever seen them be consistent about is their hatred towards straight white males and their desire to steal other peoples' money for their own nefarious purposes...

    Ask some transgender people, I guess?

    If you really just want to bash people for doing something you don't like, which, let's face it, is what is going on here, then there is nothing to say to you except that it's none of your business.

    How so? In my view, I'm not trying to bash -- I'm trying to understand.

    ...and you don't see any connection between that and people like you calling them sick and treating them like ****?

    You are the problem.

    I will try to explain it as I see it. Imagine for a moment that YOU have A habit in which you feel the need to eat pickles and cheese for lunch every day. There is enormous outcry from your neighbor because she hates the combination so she has organized the locals and pickle/cheese are forbidden. How will you feel every day at lunch?

    Don't be coy. At least be honest. You don't care about understanding, you want to hurl **** at people you think are sick.

    I see that you conveniently cut off the last part of the sentence, which specifically addresses that point.

    You're making assumptions that are not supported by any evidence.

    I think the issue is that people confuse gender (just a linguistic tool to denote sex) with gender ROLES. A guy that likes dresses is still a guy, not a woman.

    You mean the part where you're saying you not treating people like **** wouldn't do anything to improve their situation?

    Yes, I thought that line was simply too stupid.

    I can't help but notice you didn't actually deny it.

    And since all that gender sh*t doesn't make a difference, if you are confused about what is in your underwear just consider yourself a chimpanzee- because after all, your DNA is just about 99% identical. That will explain it.
    Come to think of it that is probably why some of these people don't know how to act like actual people. With liberal parents and a liberal education (and I use that term loosely) nobody taught them that they were actually not chimps.

    Of course if everything you know is a lie- then you don't actually know anything.

    They didn't create the word, they are working very hard to distort the concept of what that word means.

    It is clear you have absolutely no clue about psychology.

    I recommend signing up for some night classes at your local community college.

    It’s simpler than that. XX is a biological female, XY is biological male, and anything else is a genetic defect.

    1) Concepts are not the same thing as the physical phenomena they describe.
    1.a) Concepts are models we use to make sense of physical phenomena
    2) All models are wrong, some models are useful
    3) The concept of sex is not medically or scientifically useful.
    3.a) All the medical functions of sex can be supplanted for better by measuring hormone levels and other metrics more closely related to the health procedure in question.
    3.b) The model of sex often leads to bad medical judgement with people who have unusual sex characteristics, such as ambiguous genitalia, unusual hormone levels, a chromosome abnormality, etc.

    Conclusion: Biological sex and gender are not useful models and should be discarded.

    I know lots of liberals who don’t hate white males or desire to steal other peoples’ money. So you are in fact making sweeping generalizations. Do you like it when people make sweeping generalizations about conservatives hating minorities? Hating women? Hating the poor? Of course not because that isn’t fair to do.

    And? So what? It’s a word. Why does it bother people? Does it affect your life in any way, shape or form?

    The easiest way to understand it, is to understand that they just make **** up as they go along.

    If someone thought they were a mermaid, would you throw them into the ocean to help them out, or would you try to actually help them understand that THEY'RE NOT A DAMN MERMAID?

    To be consistent in their beliefs, of course they would have to do as you said. And create a new pronoun to address mermaids.
