Love how the article edits the profanity in his letter, yet runs the letter verbatim right beside it. Boggles the mind. And I wouldn't be shocked in the least if the kid turned out to be a kopite.

There is a whole set of alternative nouns for those of the feminine gender that are a hell of a lot more offensive. Perhaps they'd prefer some of those?

Scary this is, if you disagree with them even slightly, you’re deemed sexist.

Obviously that’s silly, but there’s also a lot of odd stuff going on with trans people/terminology and that. I admit I don’t understand a lot of it. A lot just seems like unnecessary outrage to me.

That’s for another thread though.

Sadly, as soon as you express an opinion that's contrary to theirs or their belief, no matter how valid, you find yourself getting labelled 'this' or 'that'. At first, I thought it was just me getting older and grumpy and not understanding the 'youth of today' type of thing, but now I just feel that people want to feel offended and outraged simply for the sake of it.
