[quote=Anonymous][quote=Gaia][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some phrases or statements you've heard that express fundamental disagreement with your lifestyle, but are phrases that you do not consider mean-spirited, or bigoted?

[/quote]I'm curious about this too. I do not agree with transgender in any way, shape or form. However, I believe strongly in tolerance. I have no fear or hostility about the issue and feel strongly appraised of both the scientific and intellectual opinion on the matter. To be respectful to the situation, what terminology expresses lack of agreement, but is unbigoted and not mean spirited. Thank you.[/quote]

I understand what you are asking and appreciate that you want to learn how to speak in an unoffensive manner, but I do not feel comfortable teaching you polite transphobic statements. I'm sorry. I can help you research or can point you in the right direction if you would like more information on learning about being transgender, but for my own peace of mind that is the best I can do.[/quote]

NP here, but pretty sure the original question is a perfect example of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".

Like if you don't like my new haircut, you don't have to say "It looked better long, but I guess if you like it it's fine". If you can't muster up even a half hearted "nice haircut" then don't bother saying anything about my hair at all.

It's not up to you to express disagreement. You are certainly free to think "woah, I can't relate to that lifestyle so I'm kinda weirded out by it" but let that be your OWN problem, and yours alone. Do not make it the problem of the person who has chosen or was born into a particular "lifestyle".[/quote]
