Some Gays Can Go Straight, Study Says

[Rev. Rye]

For some reason, a person's sexual orientation has never been an issue for me.  It may be because I had a great aunt who never married and dressed in what would be considered a quite masculine manner back in the day...she even smoked a pipe.  I just never took the time to concern myself over what anyone else was doing with their parts....as long a what they did was consensual.

I simply don't understand why people are so worried about it.  I will surely mess up pronouns and such...I am still very much a ma'am and sir person and after nearly 66 years that's a little hard to shake.  And I have goofed up but found that trying to fix it seems to make it worse and more uncomfortable.

Changing body parts is something I was forced into thanks to breast cancer.  I had to learn to deal with it.  For someone to choose to make a body change that's similar can't be an easy thing to do or something done on a whim.

Governing and judging others based on their body parts, their wish for a body change, or who they are attracted to is just something I don't want to have to pencil into my day.

Would you be content with losing your job for misgendering someone?  If you had an eight-year-old daughter, would you be fine with her having to shower next to someone with a penis?  I wish we lived in a society where these things did not affect us, but they do.

Are people losing their jobs just for misgendering someone? Because if you're talking Bill C-16, it would take being a Graham Linehan-level shit about it just for misgendering to have consequences. So, accidentally misgendering someone wouldn't likely cost someone their job. And even then, that's in Canada, and AWTY's based out of America.

When it comes to 8-year-olds showering, while it's been a quarter of a century since I even was an 8-year-old, I don't think communal showers are much of a thing for that age. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. And even if they were, in practice, people with penises invading women's spaces with bad intent while claiming that they belong there because they're trans is very rare. And when they do, they're usually registered sex offenders. Even when that does happen, it's not like Johnny Law's going to tell the nonce "Oh, so you're trans? Then carry on sexually assaulting this 8-year-old girl."
