Quote:I appreciate you summing up the article in the thread that I have been participating in, for some reason.

 

Do you feel "pushed" into not using racial slurs? Would it not bother you as a person if someone where to refer ot you in a way that makes you feel like less of a person or as if you don't know who you are? Because that is what you are doing in your "refusal" to refer to them as they see themselves. Frankly, it comes across as being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn (presuming you have no actual ill intent). 

 

Can you point out where I used racial slurs?  I don't recall race being brought up in this conversation at all.

 

I personally don't really care about how people refer to me, and I have been referred to by racial slurs that were pretty ugly during that time.  It didn't bother me then and doesn't bother me now.

 

What exactly am I being stubborn about?  Using correct terminology when referring to other people?  Whether you like it or not, Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner is a he.  The student in the OP is a he, male, boy.  There is really no disputing that.
