I have a hard time believing that anyone actually perceives trans men and women as anything other than trans men and women. I think lots of people are okay with tolerance. Personally, I’m okay to use the pronouns that he or she presents as (but not neo pronouns). It’s just being polite and something I’d do because frankly, I just don’t care that much about their problems. I have my own.

But tolerance isn’t acceptance. Acceptance means I accept someone else’s philosophy. And in the case of much of the “queer” and “gender theorists,” I simply don’t accept their beliefs. I’ll treat them with the human dignity I’d afford anyone. But I don’t believe they are biologically men or women. I absolutely do not accept this non binary rubbish. It always seems to be people who have major self confidence issues trying to “opt out” of their body because it doesn’t get the attention they want on social media.

Claiming to be a part of the community, so they can get the unfettered high grade attention and adulation that people automatically lavish upon them. But it’s not actually real. It’s as automatic of a rote response as mindlessly “good” when someone who doesn’t care asks you how your day was. And those who claim that they totally believe that there’s no difference on a biological level, don’t put their junk where their mouths are.

Your mistake is thinking that lying is "tolerance". If you call a man a woman (or vice versa), you are lying. You are also playing emperor's new clothes with someone, pretty much obeying to their demands. This is not tolerance. We've gotten into this predicament because people like you thought calling she a he required no effort, and didn't think about all the consequences. Because words do have a meaning.
