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.

Yes, this is just a new (albeit more frightening) take on the ugly/fat girl complaining that no one is attracted to her. These people take it further, they think you should be forced to.

I'm a man, who would only want to date a real woman. That's my personal preference. I am not attracted to men. At all.

A transgender person feels bad because I only want to date a "real" woman, instead of a man dressed up as a woman.

And then, that blame is now centered on me, because, I simply don't want to date a man.

This society has completely gone off the deep end.

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.

Homosexuality is no longer considered a disorder.

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!

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.

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?

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.

Do you mean like Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Emmeline Pankhurst, etc.?

Twisting people's words much? I'd say so.

Not worth a reply.

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

No, like John Willis Ellis and Thomas Fletcher.

According to these psychologists, it isn't about how nicely I turn them down. It's about turning them down at all. They feel dehumanized by being turned down. I can't turn them down with any degree of dignity and respect or else I dehumanize them. Ergo, I must date them/have sex with them in order to meet your standards.

Yeah, I don't think you did. Your reply makes no sense in that light. My point was: societies values were freedom for all. Not some based on their skin color or sex. Transgenders are not being denied the right to vote. They're not being denied any right afforded to any other person in this country. To compare the LGBT "movement" to civil rights is absurdity to the maximum. Especially in a thread where they're claiming that not wanting to date them is dehumanizing.

Dignity and Respect?


It breaks down like this. If you know I'm normal (Normy), then why on earth are you disrespecting me by asking me to consider taking part in your genetic disorder. Don't disrespect me, in the first place, and I won't end up hurting your feelings. Its real simple.


And yes, I believe it is a disorder of the genetic code. Our code is filled with mistakes!


Now, if you want to keep your preference (genetic disposition) to yourself, great. I know someone like that now. We socialize with him at family events. He keeps his private business, 'private, AS IT SHOULD BE! He is respected for the person he is, NOT FOR BEING Different ..

Jan. 28, 2005 - The genes a man gets from his mother and father may play an important role in determining whether he is gay or not, according to a new study likely to reignite the "gay gene" debate.
