Yes, because the youth aren’t stupid enough.

The proper response to “I feel gender confused” is to say “yes, I understand. It is a mental illness, similar to Anorexia. We will seek treatment for you.”
NOT “You need to coddle your confusion which will get worse the more you give into it by dressing and acting like a freak and demanding societal acceptance of your problem. You will probably commit suicide at a very young age*. Sorry, kid.”

That was a very long post.
I mean really long.
Did I mention it was long? Really long.
They already stole “gay” from us. Likewise “niggardly”
the loss of gay was bad enough; it already feels so strange to use it in some other context; but I’m drawing a damn line at ‘niggardly’...carry on niggards, I say...
and what about the novelist Carla Neggers...? Hmmm....
Great image for the article: “We Don’t Care”. People who claim they “don’t care” sure put a lot of effort into talking about the issue.
Seems like a trans “he” should be a “she”. And vice-versa. Still only need 2 pronouns unless you DO care. There was no epidemic problem until the people who “don’t care” decided we need more than 2 pronouns. And those who think “gender is a choice” decided that anyone who disagrees with them should not allowed (by law) to choose what they feel is right.
I’ve known and been around a few trans individuals (including a close relative) and many other LGBT for about 4 decades now. There weren’t any systemic problems until the people who “don’t care” started trying to make other people care.
Sure there are parts of the city and bathrooms LGBT people should stay away from - but I can say the same as a straight white male. I’m not claiming discrimination just because there are a few blocks in the city where I am guaranteed to be harassed and likely to be assaulted if I enter. It is discrimination based on my skin color - but I don’t care and just stay away from people who hate me. If there was a systemic problem around the city (for me or LGBT) then simply staying away is not enough - change is needed. But, when it’s isolated areas that I or they should stay away from, it’s easy to be smart rather than for laws on EVERYONE (even those who are otherwise allies/friends) knowing the laws won’t change the people who are the real problem.
Reading on your phone?
IOW, if you're NORMAL, you're unwelcome.
Normal- the new "N" word.
>> I’m drawing a damn line at ‘niggardly’..<<
There is no substiute word. “Gay” has happy, carefree, and many more.
“Niggardly” has no easy substitute. “Miserly” isn’t the same. Likewise “cheap,” “tight,” “stingy” or any other similar word.
“He gave his compliments out in a niggardly fashion, as if each one came out of a very limited bag infrequently refilled.”
None of the substitutes really works in that sentence.
Sadly, no.
I just ran out of gas around PPh 10 :)
I'll bet they do.
I equally enjoy a sunny day, and relaxing in a hammock under cover while it pours rain outside...:)
Fake title. Should start out “Female Teen Magazines”.
These magazines are basically corporate propaganda designed to turn our daughters into sexually confused sluts (to be fair, some of the single moms are doing a job of that as well). Don’t let your daughter become a thot!
He, he, he, he, he, he!!!!! She, she, she, she, she, she!!!!!!!
I feel better already.
Throw it right back at them I say. For instance, it is extremely narrow-minded and hetero-normative of them to assume that I am referring to a human male when I use the pronoun ‘he.’ If you ever happen to get into a conversation with one of gender language extremists, you can tell them that the word ‘he’ should be usable to describe a male, female or non-gender person, and that the word ‘she’ should likewise be usable to refer to a male, female or non-gender person. And to think otherwise is, by definition, to be hetero-normative.
Young lady, when you "misgender" yourself, it's a knife in their heart. Make no mistake about it, your parents damn sure know your correct gender.
It’s OK to play at this, people, but when you take it seriously you are insane.

Exactly. Just how many teens actually read this tripe?
Now they do want to be called its? Used to be derogatory.
