I have a question [View all]
I am a little bit old school. But I consider myself open minded.
I believe there are two genders. I am not trying to start a war by saying that. I am trying to explain my position.
My position is that while I believe there are two genders, I also believe that there are a lot of assholes that like to discriminate against people for having doubts about what their gender may be.
Personally, I won't believe that a female is a male or a male is a female. That's on me. I understand that.
What I believe is that it shouldn't matter. Because I try to be a decent human being. It shouldn't matter. It's common decency.
If anyone asks me to call themselves he or she I will. If anyone asks me to call them they or them, I will. If anyone asks me to call them any other things, I will because I believe that is just being respectful. I would never try to intentionally disrespect anyone for any reason. That's wrong, in my opinion.
I don't necessarily understand modern gender fluidity. I grew up in the 80's. But I believe that we should always be respectful to others regardless of our disagreements.
If I am wrong, please feel free to educate me. I promise I am not trying to be an ass.
