[QUOTE="RockHopper, post: 3912564, member: 49099"] I miss-gendered someone the other day, and got laughed at to my face. My immediate response was to apologize, but in retrospect, I regret having done so. I was told to expect a male, so when a person dressed like a male, hair cut like a male, masculine mannerisms, low gravely voice, and posture of a lazy man answered the door, I assumed it was that person and spoke politely as such. I would think that assuming a female pretending to be a male, was a male...would be a great compliment. But instead, the situation got nothing but worse. She turned to a room full of strangers, (to me) and loudly announced my mistake, causing others there to also laugh at my expense. Then this person who was 30 years my junior, replied to my apology "nah son, it's all good". I was there to donate my time and efforts to strangers because they had asked for help. It's the very same christian values and actions which they disdain and label as hate. I don't hate. I choose to love. It's a choice that has to be made, because it isn't the EASY way to live. Loving, and giving is far more difficult than simply choosing to accept yourself for any-which-way you turn out during a lifetime of mistakes, and then demanding that everyone else around you accept YOUR mistakes as "viable life choices". That's ******** of the highest order. [/QUOTE]
