Quote: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.

You seem to be having a major problem picking up analogies as of yet. I didn't say you did that I used it as an analogy.

 

Bottom line, if it makes you feel better to ignore the wishes of others when choosing your terminology to refer to them by than that's your right. You are also ignoring how it effects them and have to be aware of that. You are aware it is insulting to them and yet still chose to do it?
