There’s two genders but a lot of identities. Provided none of the identities ask for preferential treatment, I’m ok with whatever and will treat them with respect and class. People are people. It’s ok to be different.

It's no skin off my nose if someone chooses to identify in a non-binary way. It's no skin off your nose either, but you think other people should conform to an identity that pleases you, because... well, why? You see, that's pretty self-centered. It's also conformist. How dare others not place themselves into one of two categories? The nerve! Right?

Uh huh. Sure.

You know, this is called a strawman attack. You're railing against something that isn't happening, but you're claiming it surely will. Tell you what, why don't you actually wait until it does? Because we've all seen this story before. There's a social change, and the chicken littles of the world tell us the sky is falling. Remember how gay marriage was going to be the ruin of society? Never happened, despite a decade of dire insistence that it would. Gays in the military. Interracial marriage. Women voting. Blacks voting. Emancipation. The history of the world is basically one of the hand-wringers assuring everyone else that we can't do 'that' (whatever their boogeyman-du-jour happens to be) because it will be a calamity! And then that happens... and they move on to fear-mongering the next scary change they see coming.

You hate change. You're afraid of it. Got it. But that's no one's issues but yours.

Once again anyone who disagrees is told they are a fearful hater. I am so tired of that. I don't hate change, I fear nothing but God's wrath and the issues I have don't revolve around some made up gender identity.

Here is what I hate. Being told I have to believe in garbage based science claiming there are hundreds of genders, when I can plainly see there are two sexes. Gender is a term commonly used to identify the sex of the person being described. Even the Dictionary that pops up on google, a liberal propaganda search engine says there are two sexes. Per Google Dictionary:

1.
either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female.
"a condition that affects people of both genders"


I am sick of being told that just because I wont cave in to political SJW pressure to acknowledge the endless string of supposed identities, that I fear them. I don't fear them, I disagree with them. I notice everyone says they can do what they want when talking about gays or transgender, but they never say that about God fearing Christians who choose to believe the natural order they follow is the correct one.

What gays/trans want to call themselves is their business, but what I want to call them is mine. And, I am not calling a guy in a dress ma'am, no matter what pressure I get. That isn't fear of them, or fear of change, it is conviction in my belief.

Yeah? No. I don't think this is anything to debate about. Unless y'all are turkeys and monkeys.

They aren't genders, they're made up fantasy identities. And don't be a turkey / monkey as that author suggested his readers are, the author is kidding. He says so in his forward at the top of the page.

Forward from the author: "Since you Wattpad folks seem to have the collective intelligence of an average domesticated turkey, I have put this here in order to tell all you monkeys that this book is in no way an accurate representation of anything, and exists purely for comedic purpouses"


And he misspelled purposes.

You are correct, I misspelled it and posted it without even noticing. I'd like to blame that on the autocorrect feature but since I didn't catch it at the time I just don't know if autocorrect did it or if I did it. I guess that makes me a turkey too for not paying attention. Here I go now, I'm giving myself a slap upside the head for that!

Find a comfortable chair and plan to spend some time learning about what is becoming a new way to understand the complex diversity of human existence, because, obviously you don't know that there are two biological genders and several gender identities. You see, sex and gender should not be confused to mean the same thing.

Nowadays, lots of people, usually younger generation, simply find the idea of gender being more flexible and complex intuitively reasonable. But what they find intuitive, many older adults find confusing, and even frightening.
Feelings people in previous generations hid in shameful secrecy are now openly discussed on social media.
Those who previously felt isolated by their differences can now join their voices and learn of the existence of other people like them, and ultimately prove their existence.

To understand that all one needs to be a bit more open-minded.

Our millennial daughter and I were discussing this today. She is all about gender fluidity and undefined gender identity. Since I was a tomboy growing up and to this day do not own a pair of heels or a cocktail dress, I can see not liking stereotyping genders. I dunno, each generation tries to upset the apple cart of preconceived ways of interpreting the world around them. I am certainly glad we are not living in the Victorian Era.
