I mean, I think the bigger point is this:
If you think it is all right to violate someone's privacy by outing them as transgendered at a public forum, then you're simply a person with poor character. And I don't say that lightly. Milo is part of a growing trend coming from every portion of the spectrum (and I'm going to completely avoid saying that it comes from any one direction more than the other) that engages in "political discourse" by saying inflammatory things and trying to get a rise out of those who disagree, and then says, essentially, "look at those Republicans/Democrats/Christians/Atheists squirm - they are clearly not as confident/smart/tough as us." That is the very definition of immaturity. Most people are perfectly willing to take the moral high ground against anyone "on the other side" and completely absolve those "on their own side" of any violation (i.e. "Liberals have no morals and resort to insults when confronted with legitimate issues! It's awesome when Milo calls Leslie Jones 'barely literate' and a 'black dude'!" or "Conservatives are backwards idiots who can't handle their worldview being challenged! I swear, if that professor talks about the 'gay marriage debate' like both sides are equal, I'm walking right out of this classroom." YES I'M STRAWMANNING BOTH SIDES, GODDAMMIT. YOU GET MY FUCKING POINT). That is the height of intellectual dishonesty.
It's as though there are adults who live in the real world and think about real issues, and then there's people who think talking about the new Ghostbusters movie is an important issue of our time. And it seems like the population of such people overlaps heavily with the population of people who talk about social justice warriors not being able to handle the real world and being scared of being adults and such. Milo is the patron saint of these people, one of many groups of people who think they really are better than everyone else. And that is the pinnacle of narcissism. He is narcissism embodied.
Milo Yiannopoulos Wrote:"I'll tell you one UW-Milkwaukee student that does not need to man up, and that is Justine Kramer," who is a transgender woman who attended the school and was not necessarily known by everyone there to be transgendered, although she did publically protest the University's locker room policy. "Do you know about Justine Kramer? Have any of you come into contact with this person? This quote unquote nonbinary trans woman forced his way into the women's locker rooms this year. He got into the women's room the way liberals always operate, using the government and the courts to weasel their way where they don't belong. [Title IX is being] used to put men into women's bathrooms. I have known some passing trannies in my life... which is to say transgender people who pass as the gender they would like to be considered. The way that you know he's failing is I'd almost still bang him. It's just... it's just a man in a dress, isn't it? I should reapply my lipstick."
