I went from patriotic neocon in high school to libertarian-lite in college. After minoring in finance and seeing the destruction of the great recession, I pretty much abandoned the libertarian ideology. I stuck with the GOP until 2016 and abandoned them once Trump became the nominee. I would describe myself as a right-leaning technocrat and institutionalist. Based on that, I'd say that the Democrats are more in line with my beliefs than Republicans.

Trans stuff is like, just leave them alone.

If you call a person he and theyre like "im a woman" nobody bats an eye and most people feel bad. Same with trans people. You've never confirmed somebodys genitals before using pronouns, why would you start when you think they're trans?

Same with bathrooms. Nobody has ever checked my genitals going into the bathroom. Its just not a big deal.

The only issue I think I've seen with trans people that can't be solved this way is physical competition.

I don't care about that stuff its more the xhe, zer, bullshit i don't buy into.
It also doesn't sit well with me that a predominately white majority male group decided to just change genders and demanded all woman just accept it.

If you're upset about pronouns I'm just gonna tell you to not be a little bitch. All words are made up, we can make up more as we go. I don't really care about the pronouns, I'd prefer a single gender neutral "Xe" for everybody, but society is built on concessions to make others comfortable. I don't like it, but it's how it is.

White males get the most attention because.... they're white males. It's easier for them to get power and exposure because they're the favored group in western society. But it doesn't really matter the prevalence, because both sexes and all races have it.

You are not autistic so its easy for you to blow off the pronouns, i struggle to interact with general society at the best of times.

Congrats? If somebody says to use a pronoun use it. Its not hard and requires no nuance. I too have issues and am probably on the spectrum, but this isnt something that is complicated, or nuanced, or requires reading anything subtle. If they give you a pronoun, use it. As long as mistakes are genuine and not malicious nobody is going to bite your head off.

Theres times when being autistic and having trouble with social interactions is a legitimate issue, but in this case it sounds like you're using it as an excuse.
