Christians?
As I wrote in the thread above, Christians aren't the only group of people capable of offensive behaviour towards those they fundmentally disagree with. Not by a long shot. (ya know.. calling ftm's "she" and mtf's "he" for example)
I bet there are greater numbers of non-Christians who do the same for other reasons. Demographically speaking I've expereienced more of that sort of behaviour from Christians than any other culture or religion. Hands down.
Even if they appear kind on the surface given enough time they will proudly display their driving need to show through words that will obviously offend, that they disagree.
I've had this happen so much.. probably because (maybe stupidly) I loosely think of myself as being xian too.. just a lot less hateful and more accepting than most.
What these Christians don't see however.. or maybe they do, and they just don't give a Fuck... is that every time they use incorrect pronouns for instance, they push me further away from God and all they claim to believe in.
If that sort of behaviour is a manifestation of what they claim to believe in, I want to have nothing to do with their god.
My God is love.
