I've [CHAT] you for a thousand years, a thousand years

Jesus, honestly. Reading your posts is like snorting barbed wire and it's not even 8a.
LATER, GUYS.
There's not even a discussion to be had, really. The only disagreement I have with anyone is who is taking responsibility?
People blaming others, or individuals taking responsibility.
The rest is all hyperbole.

if you find the reaction you're getting uncomfortable it's because it's archaic and hateful and if you don't want to experience it more and more in future I suggest you invest in a library card or a fucking time machine
So I'm wrong that people should take responsibility for their emotions behavior instead of counting on other people to indiscriminately love them? You're saying that utopian society is upon us?
The beautiful wonderful glorious thing is that I have done fuck all to disagree with anything aside from wherein the responsibility lies.
Shit.
It is the ultimate live and let live.

"it's your responsiblity not to be offended by my stupid bullshit"
sure, but that doesn't mean what you're saying isn't stupid bullshit
It seems pretty straight forward, until it isn't. I invite you to entertain that the reality is a lot more complicated than you are aware.
How about when men have no Y chromosome? How about when women have a Y chromosome? What the fuck is this?
What stupid bullshit? I have written several times since the onset that your BLTWTFU persuasion doesn't matter to me. You can be a he/she a les/bi/gay/straight whathehell ever.
What I'm suggesting is that you accept responsibility for the lifestyle that you lead, or you can blame other people for your hardships. because no one is short of hardships. You are not special because you happen to have a so-called controversial sexual persuasion, and it is no ones responsibility to care for those needs other than yourself.

"It is no one's responsibility to care for those needs other than yourself." This, again. You are advocating that no one care about anyone else's problems and I don't see how you can't understand that that's a jerkass position that folks take exception to.
As a matter of fact I have not once. like. at all... said anything like that.
Have you bothered to read my posts?
Seriously, this is about as motherfucking neutral as anyone can possibly ever be ever. You are free to live that lifestyle.
I'm free not not give a shit either way.
live. and. let. live....................................... What is hard about this?

You clearly do care, and your views are backwards as fuck
I apologize, I guess, for automatically & wrongly inferring (again) that someone with their heels so far dug in has bothered to research his position at all.
There is a difference between being for or against, and straight up apathy.
clearly
The problem I have is when I'm told "it's just a happier world for everyone if you treat people as they would like to be treated in these matters. It's not like you've got anything to lose by going around not offending people. "
When does it become my responsibility? Hint. It's not.
My heels are dug insofar as I don't really care what you are, and it isn't my responsibility to treat you with any sort of special preferential treatment because of your lifestyle habits.

Sorry if this part of the conversation has already been covered! I didn’t spot it.
There's a lot of variation between people and bodies, even at the level of chromosomes, hormones and genitals. This variation can’t be reduced to a simple and absolute division between 'men' and 'women'. 1.7% of people don’t fit into the ideal of biological dimorphism (being obviously one or the other, and having this consistent at all levels). They have ambiguous genitalia, or hormone levels/genetic makeup that conflict with their anatomy. That’s a non-trivial number of people who don’t fit into the idea of a natural, absolute and inerasable gender binary.
You could argue that the variability between humans in their chromosomes/genitals/hormones actually support other (multiple) ways of classifying our bodies. There’s a lot of variation within ‘men’ – why not split them up into multiple categories? There’s a lot of overlap between ‘men and ‘women’ – why not shove them into one group?
And hey! Hi.
I don't know that pronouns actually come up that often in conversation with the individual to which you're referring. I usually use names.
I've not run into that problem with my IDKWTF friend.
But this doesn't solve the overarching social issue. "Equal Opportunity" is nothing but a nice way of saying "Inverted Discrimination"

There isn't any kind of onus being placed on you to care, that band person didn't ask you to give a shit, they told you that they identify as female
Calling them female isn't some special courtesy you're being asked to give, it's a label change and if you were actually apathetic you wouldn't care but that is not the case
I did place what I'm talking about in quotations...
I'm apathetic to your lifestyle choices, I'm not apathetic when any sort of expectation is put on anyone else based on your world view. "please don't make fun of us, we're BLTROFLMAO" I guess you had to be there.
I've only met 1 TTYL that was so comfortable with their lifestyle that it never came up. Others, it's all they talk about. They CONFRONT people with that shit. I don't run around screaming "I F**K WOMEN WITH MY D**K"
It's no different than a minister beating down your front door with fire and brimstone. I don't care for it.

That'd be suite. I don't know. I'm not really in a position to apply, but I wish u luck. n stuff
Maybe. It has been a number of hours since I slept. I really want to play diablo 3.

WTF
Society has come to respect the advances of drinkology. Don't label my drink with your philistine notions of propriety.
i no rite
So if any of you kneed me, I'll be at the hospital
Thanks for that, I'll have to check it out!

That hurt. But, oh god, feel better soon.
...Unless you're some 21 year old guy at a hotel bar for the first time in your life trying to pick up some cougar hocking big pharma and trying to sound fancy when you order your Glenlivet while I'm just trying to catch the last half of whatever is on Sports Center before some bullshit productivity synergy meeting the next morning at 8:00 am.
...if you're that guy, you suck...
Also, regarding Scotch, the liquor store I love because they do daily free tastings has now offered, for those of us that prefer Bourbon and Scotch to wine, the ability to bypass the wine tastings and sample any three of their really expensive tasty treats instead.
Needless to say it's the first place I go when I get off work Friday. I try a few $80 Bourbons and Scotches and then buy a $25 bottle of Jack Daniels and drink it.

I don't particularly like ice in my scotch. Just a preference. I'll put in a bit of water but I tend to stay away from ice because I don't like to dilute the liquor too much. That and I don't really like my scotch super cold. Otherwise, I might invest in those whiskey rocks. I've got a bottle of 18 year old Glenmorangie at home in Bermuda that I'm going to share with a few good friends when I fly back in a couple of weeks. It's to celebrate moving to Toronto. I'm really looking forward to it.
I've been drinking some Bulleit bourbon here. It's actually quite nice for the price.
I do enjoy Scotch, but I think Canadian Whiskey (sorry Grifter) and Irish Whiskey both taste horrible.
