Polite? Ben isn't the one who threatened physical violence because someone hurt his delicate sensibilities by stating a simple genetic fact. And "polite" is about the last thing that comes to mind as you're lashing out calling him a whiny bitch and calling everyone else who disagrees with you "fuckface" or "asshat." Your hypocrisy is hilarious, and perfectly epitomizes the typical progressive mindset.
You talk about respecting people's right to be called what they feel, yet you show nothing but pure, hateful contempt for anyone who doesn't share your pov, and you refuse to accept anything outside of your own narrow perspective. Pure blind hypocrisy.
Considering the amount of times this topic has come up and the utter lack of respect of most of those who have posted about it before, my contempt now for them should be no surprise to anyone.
I don't agree with threatening Ben because he's an asshat, that was over the line. That doesn't take away from his being a whiney bitch though.
As for 'genetic fact'... yeah, okay, keep thinking that.
As for calling people fuckface or asshat... if it's deserved why not? As I said, if pronouns don't matter to people, then why should I bother to respect people when they don't respect others? I used to do that for years; I'm tired of that game now because it doesn't make one bit of difference.
My 'hateful contempt' is again for people who already proved they're the ones who favour hate over basic human dignity and decency. If someone doesn't share my POV, that's fine. Be a dick about it though and you'll get the same in return.
