The Incomplete Cynic

genderbitch:

I’m talking about someone who is of less worth socially because they hurt people. Maybe douchebag is a better term.

I mean that I’m okay with the fact that my beliefs and preferences offend people sometimes. It’s unavoidable, so I don’t worry about it too much.

I agree, but also think being a toolbag is sometimes fun.

I don’t see how.

Denis Leary, “I’m an Asshole”…that’s how.

Who even does that? Seriously? I have never met a single gay, trans or whatever person who talked all day about it. It’s not that interesting to us, since we live it. More often it’s cis and straight people who ask us incessant questions about it.

I’m not sure what “cis” means, but that’s cool. Maybe GLBTs are different where you’re from. I’ve worked with several men who couldn’t stop being “the gay guy.” They didn’t always talk about what it’s like to be gay, but they were always drawing attention to their sexuality. This is the same as a guy my wife worked with who couldn’t stop being “the black guy.” I just don’t like being around people who can only talk about one issue, or people who yearn to be the token.

I do however know of many trans folks who have to constantly correct cis folks about shit they’re saying about them that is wrong. If that’s you think rambling about it is, you’re sorely mistaken.

That’s not what I was thinking, no.

But if it’s just an attention span and boredom thing, that’s cool. I get that. I hate hearing about people’s favorite bands all day too.

Boredom and annoyance. Yes, just like that. “I don’t want to talk about your sexuality / the White Stripes / LOST / the Yankees anymore. Please change the subject, or go somewhere else.” It might sound rude, but I’d only say that if I still wanted to be friends. Otherwise I’d distract you somehow and mysteriously disappear…
