I have a question

10. Thank you for this response.

I guess what I was asking is this...

I admit that I don't understand things. I do not deny that at all. I see a lot of people (especially conservatives or republicans) making a big deal out of it and politicizing it.

I think that is stupid. I remember when there was a big deal made out of "fireman" versus "firefighters".

I am not trying to minimize in any way what is going on right now, I am just trying to say that does it matter so much what we believe, or does it mater how we behave?

I believe in being kind. I believe in being understanding. I believe in being respectful. I believe in calling a person what they wish to be called. I think to do otherwise is to be an ass and oftentimes to do so intentionally.

I do not understand the current state of the discussion on what gender is. I have my personal beliefs. I am willing to listen to others.

But in the mean time, shouldn't how we treat each other matter more than how our internal clockwork (thoughts) works?
