I know that it's two different breeds of people, but the result is the same. Intolerance and frankly ignorance, ignorance because what the hell do you ever have a problem with people who want to identify as whatever gender they make up for? It's hurting no one. It's just hate mongering.Poking fun at someone for saying stupid shit is not the same as "disrespecting them because they are different" and it is not "hate mongering". It's just having jokes about someone saying stupid shit.
There were things that were said about gamergate that I did find very disgusting and distateful, like the threats of violence and rape. Complain about that I'm right there with you. People shouldn't be getting openly attacked for their views like I said earlier.
But if we're talking about people getting butthurt because someone simply laughed and made jokes at an unfounded or illogical idea of theirs, we're being really petty and high schoolish. People with that mentality really don't need to be on the internet and won't survive 2 minutes of social interaction in the real world, sorry that's just the truth.
In itself I don't care that much if you want to call yourself one of these unicorn identities. I just wish these people wouldn't get so butthurt when people question what it means, and wonder why a more well-known term that means the same thing won't suffice instead... naturally leading to judgments of special snowflake-ism.
And again this is exactly what I'm talking about with the black/white "with or against" mentality. "It's just hate mongering". No tbh, I'm gay and would even describe myself as "genderqueer" if I could take the GQ community more seriously, so I definitely don't "hate" them. I have an opinion about their habit for liberally inventing new pointless terms, that doesn't mean I'm against being gender-nonconforming or "hate" people who are. That's you saying that.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
