She can handle her own life -- she can turn a creep down, strike up a friendship, or start a romantic relationship. None of those are your business, unless one or the other initiates force.
As for the use of toilets -- isn't the US in the midst of a transgender-driven tumult to make every toilet available to any gender? if Americans built toilets that are individual instead of rows of see-through stalls this transition would be easier. You could direct your ire to that, instead of bad-mouthing someone who was tasked with making life easier for conference attendees.
Spare us the unappealing, self-indulgent angst.
- mbfg 8y agoA wee bit hostile, don't you think? You could have given the opinion with a little less vitriol.
- mkempe 8y agoAu contraire. Idiotic essays deserve to be smacked down, and mercilessly mocked. You're attempting to defend a gossipy poser, not a distressed damsel.
- davymac 8y ago“...Unless one or the other initiates force...” If someone was making fun of an awkward, possibly autistic looking man, because he had long untrimmed fingernails (or whatever insecure insults bullies dish these days)... would it be your business? Would you step in? What if the person being ridiculed wasn’t a stranger but a friend, would you step in? What if it was your brother? Everyone is allowed to defend themselves, but in big crowds, people put up with a lot more bullshit to keep the peace for those around them, even when it costs them a great deal of anguish. ..My point being that even though we wish these situations were black and white, our humanity should make us see the gray. So sometimes when we see someone considering jumping on a social grenade for us, we should consider doing the same for them.
