I don't think they are homophobic because of gay people themselves, rather the LBGT movement has gotten quite over the top lately. No, there are only 2 genders, and no, we are not referring to you as xi/xir.
Where do you think the LBGT movement has gone "over the top?" Why does it matter how many genders there really are? If someone feels it right for them to do something in-between or whatever, what is the problem with just letting them do it? How does that represent a public policy problem? I personally know "women" who have become "men," and are doing just fine, and as far as I can tell, really seem like men. Modern medicine is quite miraculous sometimes.
If you are a man, and think you are a woman, you are not a woman. I don't give a crap about what you think you are. And I don't think most of America does either.
You didn't answer my question. Rather you made clear that you don't give a damn about the challenges folks unhappy in their own bodies, etc., face. Screw them. Why is it so hard and difficult to just let them do their own thing?
As someone who sympathizes with LGBT community, the only objection I have against is the demand that we must use the pronoun transgender individual feels comfortable with, something I personally have no problem doing. But no one is morally obligated to call others in a courteous manner.
If LGBT community as a whole decides to form a protest against the person who refused to use the pronoun, I'd be ok with that too.
Speech to me is supposed to be like free market. Know your expectation and results.
I'm against coercion of speech.
