I agree 1000% and that gets to the REAL heart of the matter:
NOBODY should be FORCED to associate with people who make them feel uncomfortable.
Period.
On *either* side of the aisle.

... And that is why the 'Borg leftists are the enemy this time, and not the fundamentalist Christians. I did recently get into a discussion with a fundamentalist (Bible literalist) and discovered that, in fact, we share a very, VERY different worldview and spiritual track. However ... He only volunteered that information LONG after we were engaged in discussion. He did NOT try to push his views on me. We agreed to disagree, and that left us fine and dandy and well open to being pleasant business partners in future transactions and enjoying casual banter.
... Pretty sure the same could not be said if he had identified himself as a "trans-man" and I had told him that, as a fairly masculine biological woman, I don't believe that such a thing exists. (In reality, I'm open to friendly debate about the topic ... But I don't think that "they" are.)
Doctor Kitt, I see what you did there….nicely done…!
“In reality, I'm open to friendly debate about the topic ... But I don't think that "they" are”
You’re describing WOKE ideology. My biggest pet peeve on planet-earth is hypocrisy. Reality is, the most “hypocritical” humans are indeed the “wokesters.” With that in mind, what is the definition of Woke?
———————-
My friend Scott took a stab at the definition —
Those who impose a viewpoint upon & toward others that:
1. Magnifies (with self righteous overtones) particular concerns focused on the actions of others.
These focal points are singled out as preeminently more important than other concerns of equal validity.
2. The woke person ignores other valid issues/actions they might be guilty of conducting themselves. Even if those activities might be equally harming to to the end goal they claim to support.
As an example-
When Al Gore flies a private jet from a 2nd or 3rd home to a Climate-Change conference to meet w/other Climate Change warriors who also flew private jets to get there, who also have multiple homes.
The ol’- “Do as I say, not as I do” kinda thing…!
Anyone care to take a stab at the definition of WOKE?
Reality is, this whole “pronoun-gender-identification” crap is filled with Hypocrisy (Woke-Ideology).
