I don’t know what your motivation was, and it ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it as the saying goes.

You are unable to speak to people without assuming you know what they are thinking, generalising and being quite rude. You are the one coming over as angry and intolerant.

As a namby pamby liberal lefty, I support anyone declaring themselves as male, female, non binary, paper, scissors stone - I do struggle with some of my fellow namby pambies being unable to see why many struggle with the concept. Throughout nature, humans, animals, plants are almost universally clearly defined as male and female, it's hard to get one's head around a human existing outside of this definition. I'm not sure that a comparison with someone being gay 40 years ago really works either - That's a tangible, obvious thing that you can see, a bloke kissing a bloke, you know, something that may be difficult to relate to but sort of obvious at the same time. People need time to adjust to and accept things that are quite alien to them so, in some instances, need cutting a little slack.
There is no defence of downright abuse though, of course.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the World has gone nuts
That's the way I read it, I couldn't give a **** one way or the other what or who he wants to be seen or recognised as. Just get on with it and stop bleating on about it. Personally I see it as nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Prince did it 25 years ago . . . . nothing new.

Firstly Sam Smith doesnt have a particularly good voice. What he does have is an unusually high pitched tone usually associated with female singers and he can sing in tune. But that's about it his actual voice is very average.

But gender is not a spectrum. The idea that gender is malleable is just wrong.
Yes, you can be a male with feminine characteristics, but this does not make you a woman. Or in this case non-binary.
How far do you go with it then? Where's the line? If a 50 year old man wants to identify as a 6 year old girl (literally happened in Toronto), or someone identifies as a chicken, should we adopt the same attitude and treat them as such? It's insane and you know it.
The main issue with this is people are now actually losing their jobs or getting arrested other 'incorrect use of pronouns'. As i said in an earlier post, this is the only form of body dysmorphia that society attempts to treat this way. You do not do it with Anorexia, and rightly so.
Who got arrested over incorrect pronoun use?
Edit- Had a quick look into this and I guess you're referring to the Green - Farrow incident. Looks like there was a bit more to it than using the wrong pronoun (shock). https://www.google.com/amp/s/blogs....d-by-police-for-using-the-wrong-pronouns/amp/

You may have seen this already, but the Jessica Yaniv case out in Canada is unbelievable. An example of just how F'd up this 'gender spectrum' really is, and the dangers it can cause.

The mother has since dropped the case against Caroline Farrow, saying it was just leading to more misinformation about misgendering.

That is absolutely astounding.
