My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

[Dystopia]

Of course your specific politeness is limited by you, but in general, what is and is not polite is not determined solely by you; just stating your unwillingness to participate in the acceptance of others doesn't absolve you from being labelled impolite or dickish over it. And, well, if you're making fun of people behind their backs over their labeling choices, that is kinda dickish.

In the end, regardless of how pretentious or manufactured you happen to think it is, all these sexual and gender orientations are are labels made to describe what a person is with more specificity, and I don't think it's too much to ask that they not be treated differently because of that. You may think it's dumb, but all you're really doing is making fun of something that has always existed, but only recently got a name.

As to being sensitive to them, what's actually being asked of you? Beyond "be a normal person to me," what great feat of social largesse are you being asked to commit?

I'm a normal person to everybody. If you are going to tell me you have some gender label that I've never even heard of before, I'm going to think it's stupid. That's part of being a normal person. People always say 'oh what's the big deal, not much is being asked of you and it makes so and so feel so much better about themselves.' Sure, that is true if it were only one group who is asking me to censor myself and my true inner feelings (they are attention whoring twits.) However it's not one person, it's quickly becoming a massive amount of people. When everybody is asking you to be sensitive to them and to censor yourself because of it, it becomes a massive task. Especially when they are asking you for some sexual identity that they basically made up off of something they read off the internet. I'm not adding any validity to anybody's sexual hypochondria by pretending they are normal.

Mind you this only applies to people who are pushy about it, whether online or offline. If they person doesn't bother to bring it up I don't care and I don't have any material to even mock them with.

So you're basically saying people shouldn't identify as whatever they want to just because you think it has gone too far?
