Meanwhile… 059
The stick-person’s right… It is no big deal, or at least it shouldn’t be.
Gender Identity’s not that hard a concept to get your head around - it’s simple. People can choose what gender they wish to identify as, and it has NOTHING to do with biology. Attributing Gender Identity to biology is not only a lazy argument, but also an unimaginative one that lacks empathy, understanding and, most importantly, respect.
As with pronouns, how a person chooses to identify themselves in regards to their gender has NO IMPACT upon you whatsoever. And if it does, that’s an issue within yourself that you really need to examine.
You’re judging a person by how they present themselves, and not by their actions. And while you might consider it simply “your opinion”, you need to know that opinion matters, especially when it’s one that’s entwined with bigotry, violence, hatred and inequity - your “opinion” adds to the collective voice that tries to weigh others down at the cost of their sense of self, their pride, their right to happiness and, far more often than should be the case, their lives… Literally. By their own hand, or by the hateful hand of others.
Gender Identity matters. Respect matters.
If you think otherwise, well, you’re simply not being a nice person.
Please stop that.
Because your voice matters also.
Try and say something supportive, and if you can’t do that, ask yourself why?
Long story short, don’t be an arsehole.
It’s really not that difficult.
