If you take the time to read this make sure you visit the "Discuss" page.  It will soon become obvious that hate and prejudice is still alive and well in our society.  That guy with the pitchfork and pointy tail is doing one hell of a job! (pun intended)

Ah the discussions, sigh, and people wonder why I will not tour off the West Coast anymore.

that discussion page is like full of morons it seems, with a couple good replies here and there.

I sure can understand both views, but I don't get why people are so one sided and arrogant.  *sigh*

Oh how those responses in the discussion made me laugh. I'd love to make those arrogant people walk around dressed as their opposite gender and being called as such. They would then realize that they are, example, a man in their mind but a female on the outside and they would understand a bit more. Yea, that would be nice.

I don't know why I suck into the discussions on these things as much as I do.  It's always the same sort of remarks from some few Christians telling us how immoral we are and how loving they are. And then they consider heated responses as hateful against Christians in general. They are certainly not very good ambassadors for their faith.

Try not. Do.

People who come with a rule book more complex than 'respect' are way too complex for a bear of very little brain like me.

Oh you know, I think it could be usefull for people who are idiots. ( a category I freely admit to belonging to). It's nice I think for the stuff about pronouns and sensitivities that are not at all common knowledge yet.
I think that sort of thing is helpful towards getting that thing of sorts into more of the common knowledge spotlight.

Maybe Not, but maybe worth the effort for a try?

hehehehe.  its a no brainer.  Treat them as u wanna be treated

Our standard departing line is "Bye Bitches!"  Despite the fact that 90% of us are male.  If the biggest problem you face is one of pronouns, happy must be your life.  Real people are more worried about the rent, their boy/girlfriends, their kids, or other much less worthwhile problems.
