So, It's LGBTQIA Now ? I Can't Keep Up. (community, medical, news)

Just go live your life.

It's an LGBTQIA thing. You wouldn't understand

And sounds ridiculous and patronizing.

Often the best posts are the simplest.

I think the aggregation of the sexuality and gender challenged has been a detriment to their cause. They are ALL different and have different issues. Why lump them all into one group? Just for political clout? I think that does each of them a disservice.

Do you also say "Good morning, ma'am of Hispanic origin!"? "Good morning, 'blue collar' sir"?

Thank you for proving my point.

There was a teacher who did exactly as you stated above. Avoided any sort of pronoun/identifier. Did he get thanked for being respectful?

NOPE. He got fired for it BECAUSE he wasn't using the words the student DEMANDED to hear.

There is no such thing as free speech anymore in the USA. Most haven't figured that out yet.

I teach and in one of my PE classes I have a student that now feels that she is no longer a she and is a he.. Ok, whatever and I am fine with it... Until one day in class when having a problem with most of the guys, I yell " since the guys can't act like high schoolers, they all have two laps around the track"... I turn to this student and tell him to start running, which I get a reply of "You said guys, I am a girl"..... LOL
