It seems to me that you're wrong.
It told you that I agreed with you, and that society should "accept" trans people.
I'm the (self-described) libertarian, remember?
Who's political views are based on the NAP (non-aggression principle). A principle that you rejected.
Having said that.
The article is about a (trans) woman who believes that her HUMAN RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED (huh?) when another woman refused to wax her peni$.
Since that happened the business owner has been repeatedly attacked (she's a "trans-phobe"), and now has to answer to her government for her decision.
Say all of that out loud.
My only point is/that the world has changed.
And it's amusing to think about how many of the older generation must view these changes.
Hence the title of the thread. And the quote from the movie.
But
Why smile and waste a good chance to be offended?
So...like clockwork
(Some) folks were "triggered" by the article
And felt the need to make that known and to lecture us.
About what views and what speech are acceptable.
The same people who preach diversity and tolerance and inclusiveness.
