Well, it makes sense to ask the question whether that’s bigotry, and I completely understand why a mob may form when the mainstream can’t even hear the discussion, which is what the article and your comment display. To be first worried about cancel culture over the issue at hand is to be deaf to the issues.
- Thorentis 6y agoHonestly, it doesn't make sense to question if that is bigotry, especially when transgender and LGBTQ rights are predicated on sexual freedom and liberation. Asking sincerely if that is bigotry shows that the questioner is willing to contradict their own strongly held views, in order to call somebody else a bigot.
- aklemm 6y agoNo, it’s a very important and basic question: what does it mean to treat someone’s gender identity irrespective of their genital status. I don’t know the answers, this isn’t one of my main issues that I follow, but it’s pretty clear the question makes sense.
- Thorentis 6y agoSexual attraction includes attraction to genitals. You cannot separate the gender identity from the genitals when it comes to having sex. Just because somebody says they're a woman, doesn't mean I want to have sex with them. This applies to trans and biological females. Plenty of biological females are unattractive to me. That isn't bigoted. Why does them being trans suddenly make me a bigot? It's such a ridiculous question to ask.
