It is when they've expressed a preference to called something else, yes. It's belligerence and nasty. Yes. It makes you a bad person to not respect someone's wishes. Who the hell are you to argue with people like that? Your mother raised you wrong.[/quote]

How is that nasty?  If they are a man, it is what it is.  I fail to see how that is mean, nasty, "belligerence", etc if I call a duck a duck.  Just because they do not like it?  And there should be laws and penalties to protect these people from my first amendment right to say whatever the hell I want?  [/quote]

You don't understand our system of governance very well.  The First Amendment does not vest you with the right to discriminate against someone in a protected class.  If you want to act like an asshole, the fine, have at it.  Just don't do it in connection with hiring and employment or renting an apartment to a transgendered person who has made their preferences known to you.[/quote]

Transgendered is not a protected class.[/quote]

It is in NYC.  And for good reason. Do you understand the amount of violence perpetrated against trans people? By assholes like pp?[/quote]

Calling a biological male a "he" is not violence. Words are not violence. Assault/battery is violence, including sexual assaults, and those laws protect everyone - regardless of whether they are transexual or transgender.[/quote]
