just don't say slurs

That's a free speech issue. I really don't like the idea of Forbidden Words. The belief that we are endowed with certain rights by our creator means no state can claim dominion over those rights. Even if you don't believe in such things, I'm sure most everyone can agree on inalienable human rights.*

Don't we have the right to think as we wish, even if what we think is hateful?

Plus a lot of those words are simply fun to say.

Alternatively, if the gays could lend lease these words back to us, and maybe we can give them new meanings so we don't lose them from our lexicons.

Fuck that. We shouldn't tolerate intolerance. You can be homophobic all that you want, just don't be homophobic around me.

Fuck that. We shouldn't tolerate intolerance. You can be transphobic all that you want, just don't be transphobic around me.

That's why y'all are here.

Bullshit. We are here because we recognize that LGB has nothing to do with transgenderism, and being against transgenderism isn't bigotry.

I mean why y'all still aren't on Reddit, tossed for the same reasons. Justify why you holding the whip is better all you want, idc. I don't wanna derail the thread.

being against transgenderism isn't bigotry.

Neither is being against LGB.

Major difference there. Im gay and like men no matter how much other people disagree or hate me for it. It's not the same when someone thinks theyre the opposite sex. They not only rely on others referring to them as the sex they want to be, as well as allowing them to use different bathrooms, but even with all the surgeries, theyll still be the sex they were born as, nothing will change that.
