A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

FWIW, I have never let my inability to understand what's going on in their heads affect the way I treat people.
I've known a few trans types, and I try to be as nice to them as I am to everyone else.
Which is usually pretty decent; I'm an easygoing guy.

Not challenging your decency. I don't "get" what causes transgenderism. But I can see it's a real phenomenon. You said you didn't get why society "enables" them, which is a tougher question. I mean, what is the alternative to "enabling" them that still respects their dignity and autonomy? It's a fine line.


I "get" why people have a lot of beliefs I disagree with. I get Christians, Marxists, Muslims, radical feminists, flat earthers, Trumpers (this one is harder), libertarians, etc., without agreeing with them. It's tough to come up with something I really don't get.

But I don't get the prevalence of tattoos. I wonder if people who get a lot of them are actually masochists.

Why some people can't see that tolerance is not the same as acceptance, and that asking for acceptance sometimes infringes on another person's right to disagree.

I agree with that principle, but I don't think it comes up very often. I'm having trouble thinking of a concrete example of where that might apply. I guess some trans people might insist (even obnoxiously) that you call them by their preferred gender, for example, but they don't have any power to infringe on your right to disagree and call them "sir."

I think all people desire acceptance.  Tolerance is fine, but hardly warm and undetectable.

For the life of me I can't understand why shaving cream still exists.  Why does anyone have liquid soap/body wash AND shaving cream?  All you  need is the liquid soap, you  put a dab in your palm,  lather it up,  rub it in your face (or whatever)  and shave. Plus if you use scented body wash it leaves a nice smell behind.  I just don't get why more people can't figure that out and still buy cans of shaving cream...  Question

I never "got" what people see in "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai." I revisited it last year and it still hasn't clicked so I've given up.

This might step on some toes, but I don't get adults who take comic books seriously. I mean, I'll watch and enjoy the occasional Marvel (or even DC) movie, but I know it's shiny junk.
