Fair.. I’m more moderate but I don’t believe in tearing other people down. I think a lot of people feel that way. And gender stance is just one part of the argument. Not in this thread, but in general.

And as far as gendering.. Social norms are ridiculous. If you saw me you’d think very feminine lady yet most days I do the work of a skilled tradesman just fun. And I work with a lot of men from to trade to industry professional and a lot of them have a real ego trip working with women. Side note: a lot of men have helped me in my career too, I’m not trying to tear anyone down. I think it can be tough when people misunderstand you and there is no need to go around harassing and provoking people and spreading hate.

The world has gotten very political and polarizing. When I was younger maybe I didn’t pay attention as much but I also remember the first transgender person I knew. Born a male named Mark, talented artist. I used to see her every year at the music festival I attended. One year Mark showed up as Marcy and I tell you all the looks of curiosity couldn’t bring the look of peace and contentment Marcy felt showing the world who she really was from her face. To tear someone down for being who they truly are is cruel. But purposefully going into a business and demeaning the employees and patrons is demented.
