Cons have a strange obsession with trans people for folks who claim to believe in individual freedom.

Individual freedom means we have the right to speak out about trans culture and the filth on tv. Most of us don't care until they try to force compliance in language or behavior at which point its our freedoms being attacked not vice versa. You want to dress like a woman and take it up the butt nobody cares. Want the government to arrest people for "misgendering" We are going to have a problem.

Are you talking about asking for basic respect and using their preferred pronouns? I’m so sorry, that sounds like a lot to have to follow.

You can ask all you want, but whwn it's no longer just asking nobody has that right and nobody should force the government to force behavior for someone's peace of mind. Instead the individual should learn self esteem.

Where is that happening. Anti discrimination laws mean you can’t harass them or take away opportunities for them because of their gender identity.

yeah trans people just want respect and to be seen as who they are

Respect is to be earned. It is never to be given freely. If I want to see them as a freak of nature, I’m free to do that.

Am I free to see you as a freak of nature, then?

Sure, same way I am free to see people, you are as well

Who taught you to treat your fellow human that way? Genuinely want to know. You are absolutely vile.

In what way am I vile!

Who calls their fellow human a freak of nature? Does bullying empower you? Do you think you’re helping anyone by using that language?

It’s not bullying, it’s an opinion. I was not set on this planet to help freaks feel better about themselves. That is their job, not mine

Calling someone a derogatory term is not bullying. Interesting. If you weren’t put here to help people, were you placed here to make them miserable? I mean why even bother verbally attacking people that aren’t hurting you in any way?

I guess you and I have a different definition of derogatory. I’m making you miserable by saying what I think, rather than sugarcoating it so you don’t feel bad about yourself. If you are hurt by words, you have bigger unrealized problems

I’m not trans, I’m not the target of your speech here. Derogatory is “showing a critical or disrespectful attitude”. Don’t even try to argue “freak or nature” isn’t disrespectful.

You also clearly don’t understand mental health if you think people should be unaffected by words, and the torment that comes with them. No clue.

Or maybe I do and have much thicker skin to realize that nothing anyone, including people still not able to admit the truth to themselves, says can change the way I feel about myself. I can only control me, I do not control how you feel about you.

If we tell all trans people they are freaks of nature and shouldn’t get so offended, according to you:

I’m pretty sure they already know that, I’m not telling them anything new

Words to live by.

You can only be offended if you let yourself be offended.

Exactly, it’s a shame they can’t understand such a simple concept

What if they are disowned by their parents? What if they are abused and mistreated for their gender identity by their own family? I guess they should listen to your revolutionary advice, what was it? “Stop getting offended”?

If they are 18, then they are free to flee. If they are under 18 there are numerous places and agencies that they can go to to find out what to do. One of them will tell that person that only they can decide what to do that is right for them. Not me, not you, they themselves

Most people accept that words do hurt. Conservatives really think all old sayings are true?

Sure, you stopped being a liberal when water stopped being wet…unless like many things you seem to do, you are lying to yourself

Just as I do not represent all conservatives, I know you do not represent all libs. That said, and I will repeat myself, words can only hurt you if you allow yourself to be hurt.

I’m not a f**king liberal.

So the psychological torment just isn’t supposed to affect them?

Not if the don’t allow it to

You should go tell bullied teen girls who self harm that they are weak because they get offended. That should help them.

Maybe their parents should talk to them about getting thicker skin….something about words can never hurt you and such

I’ve gotta say, you are really getting f**king boring, so I’ll just leave it at this. I’m not a liberal, I have never been a liberal. I am an anarchist communist, it literally says it on my profile. I’m not trying to reform capitalism I’m trying to abolish it.

So not only do you hate yourself, you hate America as well…enjoy living a life of hell, while I profit from people like you

Or you know, having feelings, or insecurity or social anxiety, something many people have and something you apparently can’t relate to and think you can fix easily.

You have no idea if i can relate or not, but there is only one person that can fix the things you list, and that is the person themselves. I cannot make your feelings of insecurity go away. I can not make your feelings of social anxiety go away. You alone can do that.

It's just a spook to distract them from their economic interests.
