And, a better analogy for you would be for me to call you by female pronouns. Which I will do from now on.
Suit yourself. Otherwise, don't think I didn't notice how you think you dismiss an entire post because you object to my use of the term virtue-signalling. As far as that goes you didn't even provide justification for believing I used the term wrong.
You have absolutely zero evidence that the people who disagree with you are disingenuous with their motives. All you’re doing is attempting to poison the well. It’s quite pathetic.
Regarding pronouns, there’s a huge difference between a transgendered person asking others to use the one their brain is wired as, and the belittling people like you engage in. For someone who masterbates to classical philosophy as much as you do, you sure have a problem understanding context. Not everything is equal, and giving a transgendered woman the dignity of the pronouns ‘she’ and ‘her’ is a completely different scenario than a jack-off like you going “herp, derp, call me ‘His Majesty’.”
I mean, shit, you keep bringing up Tiffany with scare quotes and calling her a man. Even though she’s undergone both hormone treatments and gender reassignment surgery. By any rational standard, right now, she’s a woman. Yet, you make it a point to not accept it. Why? This isn’t simply a man dressed as a woman... no one is going to have their genitals operated on in order to switch volleyball leagues.
And I find it utterly laughable that you bring up ‘military readiness’ as a justification for your stance. There was a time when people thought allowing blacks and other minorities into the military would weaken or sully the military. Same for women. Same for gays and lesbians. Conservatives, time and again, have clutched their pearls at the very notion of The Other defending them. Which, if you really think about it, is actually an insult to the military. The world’s best, most professional military on the force cannot handle having transgendered people serving? Fucking really? Do you grasp how idiotic that sentiment is?
Now, I’m sure you’re going to question my motives. You’re going to spew talking points about how I’m virtue-signaling, or that I’m playing at being a SJW, or something else similarly asinine. And we both know it’s because you have absolutely zero logic for your position on this. But, here’s the thing: I’m not writing this to show how cool I am. I’m not writing this for kudos. I truly believe that you are wrong. That you are a bigot. And if you’re offended by that, well, toughen the fuck up, snowflake. And live with the knowledge that people like you have always been on the wrong side of history, and that this is no different.
