In the analogy you provided, it was of a 3 way conversation but the question was not directed at the trans person, but because it was a 3 way conversation the trans person was able to hear the question asked about him to the other person. I never denied this was possibleSure we did. Remember, you said:
So I said:
And you agreed:
Trans people are part of conversations where a pronoun like "he" or "she" will be used to refer to them. You were wrong, and you acknowledged that.
Now you just don't want to work this realization into your thinking process because you want to keep imagining that the offense is manufactured, but you don't have any reason to think that anymore. The reason you gave is gone.
I have several reasons for believing transgender ideas are manufactured; as I said before I believe transgenderism is not based on reality, it’s only in your head thus manufactured. I never said that was the only one.
It's disrespectful to intentionally do things that you know will offend people. Since being offended is irrational (i.e. based solely on emotional reasons), that applies to everything, not just transgender people. I don't tell Jesus jokes to Christians because it will offend them; it doesn't matter that I think what they believe is wrong. I'm not going to hop up on a free-speech-soapbox and offend people just on the principle that I think everyone should stop being offended about anything.
It's one thing to tell offensive Jesus jokes when in the company of Christians; it’s another to feel a need to pretend Jesus is lord, and claim all other religions are false when in the company of Christians in order to not offend them. I suspect you will not do that; I suspect you will insist Christians acknowledge whatever religious beliefs they have, that not everybody is going to share them; and it is not an attack against them, nor is it an insult for you to not share their religious beliefs when you are in their company. Is my assumption correct?
