White Male Privilege.

Seriously, I always hear about this from people who had opportunities I would kill for.

Why they put my anti-itch cream in a toothpaste container. I haven't brushed my teeth with it yet but I'm 99% likely to.

I'm with you there.
Nor shows like AMERICAN IDOL, the VOICE, AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, etc...where mediocre talents compete against complete idiots, judged by people with more money than sense and has beens.

The whole transgender thing.
I know this isn't PC to say, but anyone so filled with self loathing that they would have their genitalia mutilated to resemble something they biologically are not and never will be strikes me as being profoundly mentally ill.
I don't understand why society is now all about enabling them.

People change their bodies all the time.

 A person genetically determined to have cancer will usually if possible have it removed or treated rather that live with his "natrual" condition. People genetically selected to have bad eyesight will use various artificial means to improve their vision, people genetically determined to be one hair color change it to another, etc.

It's a complex question, actually. Gender dysphoria a real phenomenon, however, and may be related to hormone imbalances/malfunctions in the womb, though medical science doesn't understand exactly what causes it. I know one and I sympathize while still feeling incredibly awkward around them. I don't know about "enabling" them, but my position is that they're harmless, and it's no business of mine what they do to their genitals as long as they aren't hurting me. Live and let live.

Apply the Golden Rule to transgender people. Does it start to make more sense?

One of my nephews is going through this at the moment. While I might not understand it completely given it is not something I have any personal experience of it doesn't mean I don't love or support him any less. I can only imagine just how tough it must be to go through something like this.

People who decide they have no gender, however, is beyond me. That I really don't get. If you want me to only use gender-neutral pronouns for you, the chances are it isn't going to happen.

I don't "get" it either, but I've met a couple, and yes, I feel really weird about it, squemish actually, but I don't think it's wrong, or they should be treated like second hand citizens.
This is a free country-at least last time I checked.
I can identify with being 'different'. I'm 5'2". I was always the shortest person in the room. Unless an 8 year old was around.

Transgenderism is an example I'd not thought of, but it is the example of a thing "I don't get".  I've been acquainted with a few transgender people (even had one in my family) and if no one is harmed, a person's body is theirs to do with as they see fit.  Live and let live.  I don't need to relate to a person to protect their rights!

I just can't get how anyone can honestly believe that a good person who isn't  "saved" by a religion actually deserves to suffer the same afterlife as Adolf hitler or Joseph Stalin.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
