Sometimes they're not too hard to spot....How do i respond?
You really don’t want to know. And Jim wouldn’t let me say it anyway.
I will accept your gender role standards to the extent that you accept my right wing Christian standards.
Sounds like a fear of trans-fatty acid!
It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
On the farm they’re called “freemartins” and are neither bull nor cow. They lock ‘em away in their own pasture and corral so as not to spook the bulls and cows who react very strongly to sharing any quarter with such a beast.
Just had to say.
Queer?
When did that change, I thought that was not allowed?
How are people supposed to know what not to say when the rules keep changing?
One day she might show up at the shop to pick up her car and hear me saying "That tranny needs a complete rework!"
I’d tell the fag/dyke to quit being such an effing whining sissy beotch.
The owner of the company I now work for asked me in my first phone interview if i was a n*gger. I never laughed so much in my life. OK, I have, but i laughed anyway. He’s a great guy, just a little old school, and harbors not one bit of bigoted attitude despitee his comments. He’s almost 80, and still sharp as a tack, when he’s awake.
If you're OK with the word "queer," then why would you take offense at any other word?
Or is it like where only blacks can use the "N"-word?
Sometimes they're not too hard to spot....Why even post this crap here on FR? It defiles our site.
Diversity Inc. is prohomosexual while speculative about religious tolerance.
Homosexuals are permitted to share all facets of their lives with coworkers without prompting or rejection of such details but religious people should respect the rights of others and not preach their faith to coworkers.
How to Handle Religion at Work Without Offending Anyone

If you live in a major metropolitan area such as New York City, it’s not uncommon to see the occasional crucifix, Kuffi or yarmulke being worn by professionals on their way to work. But what happens when these displays of religious expression interfere with everyday duties, such as working with atheist colleagues or clients? And more importantly, how do you get over that religious interference?
“I am not a fan of having deep religion in the workplace,” Melinda Wolfe, former senior vice president, executive talent, and chief diversity officer for American Express, said during DiversityInc’s Religion in the Workplace roundtable last year. “I don’t think it belongs there...”
“I wanted to engage my coworker in conversation as a peer so that our work relationship can continue to be positive, and so that we can have the kind of dialogue that eventually leads to greater understanding”
Leave me alone. Freak.
Being the child of two Marines I’m usually the source of the offensive language at work, so it doesn’t bother me.
Use the word hoplophobic every time you hear anti-gun or anti-RKBA talk. By using this valid real word you call anti_RKBA people sufferers of a mental disorder.
As for transphobic, the queer out white woman is wrong in assuming that her cow orker has a phobia about transgendered people. He may merely think it's odd, and is mystified and maybe baffled when he meets one, so comments on it (Hey, that woman is really a man!).
So the new special word is Transbaffled, as in someone wondering what it takes to drive a person to go under the knife to change genders.
The transphobi guy said the type of stuff I say. Heck, I was in a topless bar back in 1974 during amateur night and this “chick” got on stage and I said to my buddies that it was a guy. They thought I was kidding.
It was a guy.
I’ve always liked girls, even before kindergarten. They are different in so many delicious ways (and I am not even talking the physical, which I didn’t discover until years later).
I guess that makes it easy for me to spot posers. ;)
FWIW, I was underage at the time and haven’t been to such a joint since 1975.
PING
Those who are easily offended wouldn't last a day here. LOL
