I think you are misunderstanding. People don't get the heebie jeebies.
People just don't want to be forced to say it's normal.
People don't want 5 yr olds in school persecuted for using the wrong name when talking a friend on the playground and then be told that yes, girls can be boys and boys can be girls, and it's totally normal, like it's picking what color shirt to wear that day.
People don't want to be arrested and charged with crimes for using the wrong pronoun of the day the gender binary fluid person (is it non-PC to day person, is that still allowed? LET ME GO CHECK THE LIST.) picks on a whim.
Not sure why that is so difficult to understand. There is absolutely NO NEED for all of this nonsense. None of it.
Go live your life and LET ME LIVE MINE.
It'd be like, today I'm Ms., tomorrow I'm Miss, next day I'm Mrs., next day call me Maam, then well I feel like Queenie.
And if YOU choose the wrong one, I'm calling the cops because you just committed a hate crime. Just because I *feel* like it.
Wow, you really did jump on that runaway train, didn't you?
I'm gender fluid. You must do what I want. I control what you say to me.
That's pretty much the truth, isn't it?
Is what I wrote not factual?
I was referring to your hyperbolic statements about arrest for using the wrong pronoun to address another person. That's definitely jumping on a runaway train.

You can in California.
Among the unlawful actions are “willfully and repeatedly” failing to use a transgender person’s “preferred name or pronouns” after he or she is “clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.”
The law states that if provisions are violated, the violator could be punished by a fine “not to exceed one thousand dollars” or “by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year,” or both.
Who defines "clearly informed"? And what if the person changes pronouns just because they feel like it?
People are not understanding the implications of all of this. At all. I'm talking 10 years in the future.

Hate? I'm fine with transgenders, and if I was one I wouldn't care Expecting the general public to know anything about a subset of an already small subset of the population is ridiculous though.
As for as "outrage machine", NYC and many pro multigender sources have the 31, 34, 64 or other growing list of gender identities. It's not a right wing conspiracy to have an never ending list of different genders

Yet you stay here pissing all over the lives of others in post after post - the antithesis of what you said above.
In fact, if you would just leave these people alone and quit being so fixated on them - everyone would be happier.
