So, you agree that there are gay men, and I presume that you also agree that there are gay women (lesbians)... but you question the existence of trans?
Do you also question the existence of bisexuals?
What about Queer/Questioning or any other non-conforming "group"?
It seems to me that the only reason you believe that gay men actually exist is because you are one... for everyone else, if they don't fit into one of your "perfectly well organized world order" of labels, then they couldn't possibly exist!
That is folly and foolishness...
Trans people exist, whether you believe in them or not - and your insistence that they are "not real" is part of the definition of being transphobic!
For what it's worth, your attempt to re-label other people is also folly and foolishness! Why, you've looked "a little too long" at a naked woman or two - perhaps you're not really "gay", just a straight man who is too coward to approach a woman?
Balderdash! If you claim you're gay, I have no right to place a different label on your sexual orientation - and likewise, you have no right to refuse to accept or acknowledge the self-appointed sexual-orientation labels others choose for themselves!Again you miss the point. Are you sure English is your first language. I admit to having spelling issues but you have comprehension issues that need to be addressed.
I admit that those very small self identified groups exist. They had such a small political presence they needed to attach their identity to the Gay movement. The Gay movement was happy to have them. The larger the group the more political power.
In regard to your inquire of my sexual orientation. It is a free country attempt to disparage me all you want. I have the right to keep my sexual history to myself.
I think it is you who are having issues with conceptualizing what's being said: I could truly not care less about a topic than I do about your personal situation - sexually or otherwise. While I don't wish you any ill-will, it truly does not enter my thought processes (without your injecting it there) at all... and I made it clear in my post above, that it would not be right of me to attempt to label you or your sexuality.
My point - clear, I suspect, to others if not to you - was that YOU similarly have no right to assign (or attack) those labels when self-assigned by others.
Trans people are a sexual-orientation minority legitimately, and not just a "fringe group" that's "hanging on for the ride"... their numbers, when not forced to be closeted, are - I suspect - somewhat higher than you would believe.
That said, getting back to the points:
- Matt Walsh (and @geobear40) should be allowed to be trans-phobic (the argument as to whether you fit that label notwithstanding). I appreciate their willingness to express their views, as it provides ME information - for example, I will no longer be tempted to read anything else from Matt Walsh regarding human or minority rights, given that he has already proven and professed his complete ignorance on the issue.
- Twitter should not be "so quick to judge," IMHO. Specifically, his account should not have been suspended for these tweets... stupidity is annoying, and sometimes offensive - but it is not illegal!
- Twitter is within their rights to suspend any account they want to, for any reason... they are not a public accommodation, they are a private company providing a very specific service... albeit to a wide audience, but nevertheless, they do not meet the criteria for being a public accommodation, and thus legal protections for potential clients do not really exist.
