    What do you mean 'going back into the closet'? Is there a new law I don't know about, which will outlaw gayness or something? You're not really saying what you mean here. Who and what is disallowing the existence of LGB types? And HOW are they doing it?

    OTOH, if you're merely upset that LGB types are not acknowledged in some special way (over and above the acknowlegdement we give any random stranger's personal life), then that's a you problem.

    No, because it's not REAL. Self-loathing isn't connected in any way to the physical. The most perfect creature ever to draw breath can loathe themselves. In fact acting on the physically directed mental illness, just confirms to the person that appearances matter. It actually exacerbates the illness. Any apparent aleviation of symptoms is transitory .. and more importantly, illusory.

    And they were correct. They still are. Spoiled kids need more parenting than most.

    They were called the lost generation - you know, the generation that brought us the information age, genetic engineering, and nano technology. .

    now

    20 x no
    18 x yes

    I say it again:

    This "non-binary" idea is a stupid fashion of the more stupid variety.
    And to call quite normal people "binary" is a stupid insult of the more stupid variety.
    Just like those over-pampered vegans who call normal eaters "corpse-eaters".

    So correct in fact, America seized to exist as a result of sex, drugs, rock and roll. NO one is stupid enough to believe that.

    And a 2x impeached lying loser of a president who lost as an incumbent. They support the one who tried to halt American democracy.

    What are they asking for? We generally address people as they want to be addressed. (Try calling a black person "boy" one time.) Why does everyone have such a problem with pronouns anyway?

    We shouldn't have to give people special treatment, no, but if you want to persecute some of them just because they're different then that's a "you" problem indeed.

    One is too many.

    Really, they're about the only group or ideology I know of that admit THEMSELVES that they have NO redeeming qualities. (They're actually rather PROUD of it)

    It was a generation. For example, the guy who received the Nobel Prize for discovering the key to genetic engineering - the polymerase chain reaction - Kary Mullis, was on LSD when he made the discovery. In fact he credits the discovery to the drug.

    Steve Jobs also credited LSD for his success to some degree. Timothy Leary, who was the father of the LSD movement, was a professor from Harvard.

    I cited you number one. Now define womanliness without stereotyping or do you believe in stereotyping.
    Then tell me how many men pretending to he women by engaging in this stereotyping of looks and whatever else you are desperately trying to assign to women are REALLY a woman. Are you seriously telling me that if I go to the store and by a dress and some makeup and come home and put them on I become a woman?

    IF by non-binary they mean asexual, yes, I do believe some people are completely asexual. I had an aunt I always suspected of being asexual, but because that is such a personal thing, only they can determine that. It's really no one else's business.

    I don't put too much credence on these new gender definitions, nor do I see a reason to really give a damn, but if you want me to call you by some other pronoun, sure, why not? It's no skin off my back.

    I just don't get why people get so hung up by this.

    Definitions never stereotype.
    I most always use definitions of words, as that is the standard for effective communication.

    Definition of womanliness


    : the quality or state of being womanly (as in having qualities such as beauty or gentleness that are traditionally associated with a woman)

    Most of the arguments I see on why people get hung up on this is fear.
    They've been fed LGBTQ people are contagious and will transmit their queerness to others. And they often cite kids for a better emotional effect.

    In other words, it's just like Salem in 1693.
