And hence the problem with all this tolerance stuff becomes real clear real quick. Where do you draw the line? Does this guy get to have a wee wee pad in his office so he can continue to identify as a dog while at work? What happens when a client walks in and sees him popping a squat in the corner? You may think I’m joking but I’m dead serious. What about when he wants to have sex with a dog? Is it no longer animal abuse? When does this just become mental illness?

This is just wrong IMHO. If I’m the only one who can see this is getting insane then you’re all lost. I may have GTFO of this country.

Yep we may laugh or shake our heads now, but we also laughed at people who pretended to be the opposite gender in the past and brushed them off as insane and here we are, in 2018, and it's now considered bigotry if you make fun of people for doing that. SJWs will always continue to push for more "rights" to do this weird stuff. I don't think it's a SJW issue now, the title was more tongue in cheek, but it could very well become one at some point if the idea catches on.

What is he going to put on his birth certificate?

I don’t think X covers this.

Is this a millenial thing? Please say yes.


Mostly. Gender stuff is popular with kids in college and high school these days. Some are legit but for most it’s a fad thing. At least that’s what my 19yo tells me. It’s encompassing race now. One white girl told her she identifies as black / African American.

Are you, though? Can you actually be legitimately serious asking questions like whether this is such a slippery slope that we're going to let people take a dump in the corner at work? I mean, maybe if it's at a Denny's, but if you're eating at Denny's, you're already used to that.
I think the general guideline is that of harm.

I get what he's saying, but I wonder if people were saying the same types of things when women were trying to get to vote. "What's next? Making the money?? Become politicians? President?? Where does it end?"

I'm sure there were people that said that exactly.

I don't care what people do. They can identify as a hetero non-binary black Native American goldfish for all I care, just don't expect society to accommodate you. Being trans is A-OK and should be protected, but once you start identifying as a non-human life form, all bets are off.
