Order, I had typed a response for you based on what your wrote point by point. About 9/10 of the way through, I realized that it would do no good, because you actually believe what you say, and you have the right to that belief, as uneducated and small-minded as it is. You're also free to believe that yours is the majority view in the western world. You're also free to believe that GLBT people aren't able to be discriminated against in jobs, housing, and public accommodations in the majority of the United States. You're also free to believe that I'm a person who has never questioned anything in the whole of my time on this plane of existence. Nope. Not me. I never even questioned when my favorite English teacher in high school introduced me to the transcendentalist writers who valued questioning ideas and the glory physical labor above all else (and I certainly didn't fall in love with Thoreau's work about how wonderful it was to be true to oneself).
You're wrong. But you're free to continue to be wrong, and if you are a United States citizen, I once wore a uniform and carried an M-16 to defend your Constitutional right to believe in whatever stupidity you desire. If the military didn't have what I believe to be foolish standards on what constitutes a person who is fit for duty as a soldier, I would do it again.
You're the specialist, though, so please continue telling everyone how much you don't care about how normal you think I am... or how normal you think I'm not... or which ever one who want to say you're doing while doing the exact opposite.
Also, I'm not a man, and my name is not Mary.
