i mean the reality is that there will always be outliers in our society and merely mocking the loveually identifying ones might come off as a little bit patronizing. i'm a vegan and i'll be irritated if my school doesn't serve anything but meat (because they really should, schools should except to have students with health needs or buddhist students or something) but i'm not gonna walk into texas steakhouse and complain that they don't have a lettuce steak. i think we need to treat pretty much any outlier the same way--and we usually do. we intentionally build handicapped access into public buildings and put brail text on public signs. i don't see why allowing someone who doesn't identify as a binary gender (and what is in their mind is all that matters, really) to act as an independant gender is so bad. I don't even support Transgender bathrooms--I just want bathrooms to be deloveualized to begin with. I think men and women and transcobras are capable of taking a stuff in the same room.
imagine if you have a specific allergy, and a politician goes up on stage and begins to mock it. "Yes, yes, I would like some peanut-free peanut butter, waitress," and spends an exceedingly long time mocking you for something that you can't change. Sure, their might be someone like that. And they are probably an starfish. By generalizing all of a group of people, you are also an starfish. If you wouldn't mock someone for anything else they couldn't change, don't mock them for their loveual identity. Instead, mock them for their actions.
