Good for the store owner.

Those freaks seek out confrontation and have no respect for anyone else's views or rights. They are mentally ill people who seek to spread their anger and make others as miserable as they are.

people who can't accept what they are and expect others to play into their delusions are in for long hard lives.

Injecting yourself with hormones and wearing a dress DOES NOT make you a woman.
You're free to live your life as you wish, but don't expect others to bend over backwards to help validate your delusional fantasy.

We can agree to disagree here.
i'm left handed. that means my left hand is my dominant hand. it doesn't mean i used my right hand for everything and expect people to refer to me as left handed.

i think racism sexism and homophobia are wrong. but i also live in reality. if a man wants to wear i dress i couldn't care less. but i'm not going to call them a woman anymore than I'd say Clayton Kershaw is black and right handed.

Translation: It takes absolutely no effort to deny the reality standing in front of your face. If the clown standing there wants to be called a sea slug, refer to him as a sea slug whether he is or not.

At one time, such a denial of reality was a torture technique. Deny reality or you'll get another 200 volts into your family jewels.

Translation: the owner needs to deny science and reality. Well... in this matter. In other matters, he must follow the science.


If you believe that having an opinion is so wrong, then why do you have one?

They’re expressing their opinions… ( like you are), that’s what people do here. The trans expressed his opinion, owner expressed his and the people here are posting ( expressing ) theirs.
People often disagree…… What’s the problem?

what % of men (that is, born with a dick) do you think would agree with his sign?

70% (R men, Independent men, 1/4 of Dem men)?

90%?

95%? (% of heterosexual men)

99.7%?

Oh BS. If you don't want to call someone a man or a woman that's your right. But don't try to claim some altruistic motive for something that simply makes you uncomfortable or that you don't agree with.

Did we get a final answer on the dick question?

That would really help to clear things up.
