at which point do your rights override mine?
I am not responsible for your happiness
you should not look for others to make you happy
I respect you as a human being as much as I respect others
no more and no less
you have no right to infringe on my freedom and demand that I act in certain way or you will call me an asshole
If you act like an asshole, people are going to call you an asshole. No one is infringing on your freedom. You are free to do what you want, but people are free to judge you on what you do and if they think you're being an asshole, they have the right to call you one.
You don't have to call a trans person by their preferred pronouns. No one is forcing you. Where is anyone forcing you to???
Just as some will applaud you for standing your ground though, others will think and call you an asshole for it. Just as their rights allow them because they have equal rights too. You can think they are mentally ill for claiming to be trans and they can think you are an asshole for not having empathy.
I’ll take it a different route. Many people think men who pay for sex are mentally ill, are prevents and sexual deviants. They condemn the men for paying for it, for exploiting women, for cheating on their wives. They call them Johns or Tricks or Slobbiest if you are a review board member. The men I know prefer to be called clients or hobbyist. So I call them that. It is no skin off my ass and I don’t judge any man in this industry.
You can call me a hooker or a whore or a prostitute. Or you can call me an escort or sex worker. The choice is yours. Depending on what you call me and in what context will determine what I think of you. If you are calling me a dirty little whore while I have your cock in my mouth, I’m going to wink and smile while looking up at you. If you call me a dirty whore while fighting with me online, I’m going to think you’re an asshole and I will say so.
We all have choices and judgment is one of those choice. That is life. Deal.
