favoritos Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Interesting discussion. This new "They, Them," is confusing. I had to ask some friends how it even works. Many in the community are still trying to figure out how to address someone. It is harder without knowing for sure how someone does self identify. Just ask, is all they know for sure.

How many of them do you have in your community? Maybe it’s something in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member joesale Posted January 4, 2019 Author Gold Member Share Posted January 4, 2019 Well tomorrow is the big day. I have been following along here and I think there are plenty of smart people who have responded, and plenty of people who could be smarter. I will put myself in the could be smarter camp. I have decided to respectfully decline the invitation. I base this decision of the fact that I do not understand why anyone would want to change their gender. I don't know if I will ever get it, and I don't care. I also think it isn't good for the young children who will be there and have to see this. There will be an 4, 8 and 10 and year old. Anyway, people my age ( I will be 65 in 7 years) seem to agree with my position. Younger people say I am the one with the problem. I will give them a strong maybe that's true. But I really don't think so. I'm going to respond how I "identify" and believe to be "My Truth". I am not ready to accept this because I do not understand, I do not have one politically correct bone in my body and I have no filter. If he/she want's to discuss this I will refer him/her to this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
