wizard101So, you think that the only genders that exist fall into two categories, and that intersexed, genderqueer, androgynous and other 'grey area' genders should just quit whining because it really isn't a big deal?
During Spirit Week? Really? You dare to put up the colours and fly the flag, when you're going to treat those arguably in most need of support like this? And then you put up such crass and tasteless arguments that one wonders what gilded rock you've been under the past ten years.
Are you telling me my most cherished sibling, who's saved countless lives, doesn't exist? Or worse, that It* isn't valid as a human being because It doesn't conform to what you think? You know who else has that kind of thinking? The people who think intersexed children should undergo sex assignment surgery at birth just so they'll conform to 'one or the other'; the people who think denying transgendered and intersexed people work, shelter, medical attention, safety and food is perfectly acceptable; the people who beat, murder and rape transgendered and intersexed people just for being the gender they are.
Deviant art, hm? I guess we know what kind of deviants you are, now.
*My elder sibling prefers capitalised It, by Its own admission.
