The Transgender Issue

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Or a Black person. Or a Latino. Or a refugee. Or anyone who is LGBT. Or had an actual heart-to-heart with a woman you weren't sleeping with and isn't trying to just get you to stop talking.....

Empathy seems lacking among a significant section of the population.

What about homeless people?

I've been called a homophobe when I was a young man -- and that opened my eyes quite a bit, if you really wanna know.

You shouldn't be afraid of being challenged on your preconceived notions.

I know what it's like to have prejudices borne out of ignorance, and like we've said on this page .. it took sitting down with people and talking for me to realize how idiotic those prejudices can be and how one might not even realize they hold such ignorant views.

I had a guy sit down, in my living room, and ask me to my face, "how am I any different than you? Because some book tells you it's so?"

It took a lot of guts for him to say that to me, in that setting, given the kind of guy I was at the time -- I really had no answer for him.. And then and there I knew what I believed was bullshit...

I mean, I know you're partially being facetious, but, if you really wanna know, yes, someone called me out on my beliefs, to my face, and I'll never forget it.

The benefits trickle down.

Luckily nobody has to sit me down and tell me how to think unhateful thoughts. I don't hate anyone despite your alt-right label that you were so quick to throw out because I think men should use men's restrooms and I'm a fiscal conservative. You don't know me guy. Everyone is so quick to judge everyone on here based on how they vote. Have a BLESSED DAY.

Bro I don't need to know you, and I'm not trying to know you.. FWIW, I never said I did..

But to your original post:
"Maybe they should first stop tweeting out hate towards the forgotten man. Which is the majority of this site."

Yes, that's some alt-right bullshit. I don't give a fuck what you choose to call yourself. I'm talking about the statement you made here.

Fuck your blessings.

I genuinely do not understand why someone would change genders. It doesn't make any sense to me. I've been trying to learn more

Because their brain is telling them they are one gender while their body physically shows them something completely different.

Historically, people like this just lived tortured lives... But now there are options.

Once they transition to what they believe is their proper gender do they feel better? I know that they have higher suicide rates than the population as a whole, but that could be due to a number of factors including the way they're treated by society.

Thinking everyone including the groups you listed should stop reaching out on social media to spread hate is alt-right?
