U.K. Supreme Court issues key ruling on definition of "woman" under existing equality law

Does that mean these threads will finally end?

men pretended to be women for thousands of years

doubt they will stop anytime soon

It only ends when your delusion does.

how about if we keep it simple and we just introduce ourselves?

"Hello Jenesis, I'm Juan, nice to meet you"

"Hello Juan, nice to meet you as well"

"have a lovely day"

that's all I need to know about you

I don't need to hear about your sexuality from the get go

maybe if I get to know you better we might talk about it

and then maybe you will listen to my story as well

and sympathize with my issues

you are not special or better or worse than me

so do not force yourself on me by demanding that I acknowledge your sexual perception of yourself

I might not be as comfortable with sexual orientation as you are

your insistence that I see your sexuality is like a pervert exposing himself to strangers

keep your sexuality to yourself and deal with it appropriately

if having a penis and not knowing what to do with it is making you unhappy

then see a specialist or a doctor

maybe it's a chemical unbalance or some psychological trauma

learn to mediate and observe your thoughts and feelings instead of getting lost in them

try to see the world from the point of you of how I can help others and not from a view that you are special and others have to validate your existence in some way

that's how you make the world better for all of us

Holy shit, dude, who are you talking to and what kind of conversations are you having?
You seem insanely triggered by the thought of speaking to people.

pray tell which part of my post triggered you

to think that I was "insanely triggered" by the thought of speaking to people

Did you read your post?
You seem terrified.
Normal people aren't having these conversations but you're convinced it's going to happen to you.
That can't be good for you to be this stressed out about shit.

maybe you misunderstood what I was saying

or maybe I didn't make my point clear

if you can be more specific, instead of saying that the entire post seems triggered

where exactly, as you were reading it, did you say to yourself

wow this guy is triggered?

You went on a rant that you can't have a conversation with people.

Yeah, that's about where I said, "wow, this guy is triggered".

it must have been this line first

I don't need to hear about your sexuality from the get go

keep in mind the context of the conversation I was having at that time

we were talking about using pronouns and that if I don't use them then I'm an asshole

so if I don't want to be an asshole I should use the pronouns

in order for me to know someones preferred pronouns, I should ask them

the pronouns that people choose for themselves are related to their "chosen" gender

there are many genders and probably as many preferred pronouns

but all of them will relate to sexuality, for example, man transitioning to a woman at some point will make a decision what to do with their sexual organs

so this hole concept of pronouns is very much sexually oriented

and me asking you for your pronouns and then using them is validating and acknowledging your sexual orientation

I don't want to do that

I don't think it's fair for you(not you personally, but transgender people) to ask me to do it ( if I don't want to be an asshole)

and as google suggests, I should ask for preferred pronouns at the first time we meet

that's why I said "from get go"

"I don't need to hear about your sexuality from the get go"

simple "hello, how are you?" would suffice, at the begging at least

there should be no mention of your personal life for a while, until you get to know someone better

but that's not what's happening, in order for me not to be an asshole

I should ask you right away,

and a lot of "regular" people who have very little interest in topics of sexuality might feel uncomfortable discussing or acknowledging this

therefore the expectation of transgender community that I inquire and use your preferred pronouns is unfair and unacceptable

I hope I'm making myself more clear, without sounding like I'm triggered
