Flatrock, good luck fishing and I do agree with all of your last post.
“…Why is it so hard to just be nice to people?”
That is a great question and one that should be asked often. In my experience there are three types of people…those who are intolerant of just about everyone but themselves and those people suck. Then there are those who are tolerant of everyone and want to just go about their business while letting others do the same without anyone having to step on anyones toes. Those people are great. Then there are those who preach “tolerance, tolerance, tolerance” and do nothing BUT step on EVERYONE’s toes while they seek special treatment and are intolerant of anyone who doesn’t give that to them. Those people suck too, and most of the experiences I’ve had personally with the the trans/confused crowd has led me to believe they are mostly in group 3 and will hijack any cause they can for personal gain only. Minorities who play the race card every time something doesn’t go their way and white, woke liberals (not to be confused with democrats or liberals in general) are the same also…clueless, selfish, intolerant, and you should be asking your “can’t you just be nice?” Question to them.
I should add…I have several friends and coworkers, both male and female, who are gay. They are all great people as far as I am concerned who dislike all the media driven bullshit as much as I do and just want to go about their business and be themselves.
