big·ot·ry ˈbiɡətrē/ noun intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself. "the difficulties of combating prejudice and bigotry"

How ironic

because you're allowed to disagree, that's fine. but when you continually call someone the wrong name or gender on purpose with refusal to acknowledge their legal name and gender, you ARE a bigot.

Or like when a black person speaks well and doesn't play into a stereotype, people say they're "acting white" which is actually accepted by the very people who are offended by calling Jenner "he"...but, I digress. Your point is understood.

[quote]Or like when a black person speaks well and doesn't play into a stereotype, people say they're "acting white"[/quote] Never heard of that in my life.

Even if the DNA is male? Scientifically calling a person with male DNA a female is like calling a cat a dog because it makes noises resembling barking. But, I think I see where you're coming from.

[quote]Even if the DNA is male?[/quote] when they're legally a female, yes.

I don't really care about what they legally are. I care about generic make up. Just like that new t.v. show coming out about the little boy who is transgender. It kind of makes me frustrated. He's upset because he can't get any boys to accept/date him. Why would a straight boy want to date another boy? Also he needs to understand that kids his age won't accept him. I am accepting to a point. I will not call an apple a pear just because you peel it and shape it like a pear. I will not call a grown man a woman just because he changes his name and wears a dress. Doesn't make me a bigot. It makes me a person who sees things for what they are.

[quote]Doesn't make me a bigot. It makes me a person who sees things for what they are.[/quote] you're right - it doesn't. what makes you a bigot is refusing to understand the situation and purposefully and repeatedly calling someone the wrong name, gender, etc.
