I know that the lynch mobs of the day are set to pile up on people who express the ideas I'm expressing, and I'm fine with that. But I feel my opinion represents the voice of reason and reality, and I will continue to voice it.
No problem there. I'm wondering how much it puts me out to call him "Brenda" or her "Jimmy". I'm not sure why I would be doing package checks in a public restroom, for that matter -- let me hit the urinal with no splashback and I'm copacetic.
What the hell does any of that hurt me? Does it cost me anything other than the occasional case of rustled jimmies?
As a military firefighter, I can tell you, I didn't care if Stelter or Cardinal fucked girls, guys, or a hot fondue-pot. What mattered to me was Can we extinguish this? Can we get them out before they're crispy critters? Are they competent?
That's the focus of this thread -- not your little embolisms of emotion. I'm willing to bet that if they were pulling your ass out of a crumpled-up car, you wouldn't be asking about their gender identity.
