So in order to treat someone with respect and dignity, I now have to have sex with them?!

I should have been more clear, treating others with respect and dignity does not mean you accept them for what they claim to be or prove themselves to be, but rather you don't go out of your way to make their life miserable. A society that has no constructs is not a society at all.
That all depends on the "Eye" of the beholder! No one asked me to vote. In fact, I don't know anyone who voted to remove it from the Catalogue. But what do I know? I know where it belongs, and where it doesn't!

Homosexuality is no longer considered a disorder.

If you don't know how to treat someone with respect and dignity then I can't help you.

A society with limited and stereotypical constructs is not an inclusive society at all.

Nor does it need to be. You're not going to get me to argue that inclusiveness should be a goal. I'm all about exclusiveness. In fact, the world runs on it. A society should attempt to exclude any who don't share their values.

In other words, you *do* think everyone should be made to have sex with transgender people if those people want it or else we should be shamed for not being inclusive.
Make up your mind.

This whole thread is about how if I refuse to date a transgender person, I am dehumanizing them. Essentially, if I am not attracted to or want to have sex with transgender people, I am not treating them with respect and dignity because I am dehumanizing them. You cannot treat someone you just dehumanized with respect and dignity.
Get it?

Are you not able to refuse anybody who asks for a date now with dignity and respect?
