[@NightinGem] The moral of my story is not the fact that I am extremely dissociative to human beings and have difficulty in seeing their emotions, or the meanings behind them, but that people are too swift to judge on that side of the argument. The majority I find myself a component of really are indifferent to those issues, not because there's no heart, but because they are overblown. Again, while I do [i]feel[/i] bad for the situations you have explained, I cannot allow it to cloud good judgment. A small proportion of the United States that has predominantly minor grievances should not dictate to the majority really anything. Their role should be awareness and [i]convincing[/i], not compelling, others to why they are right. Because the fact of the matter is, orientation aside, they are all still people biologically and beyond question. I state again that I do not care who or what you are, but when you impose upon me your belief system, I can no longer be idle with my patience. For myself, trading stories are miss after miss. They have not the emotional impact or force to them on either front, be it yours or mine. I can only argue from the points that I can observe or am aware of, namely being that I have not seen any significant levels of concern on this front. If we were all say, in the Middle East, I might have to concede that the violence and hatred against non-traditional sexuality is [i]overwhelming[/i]. Here in the United States, the most I can note are the odd people being needlessly cruel and the vast majority being indifferent - a factor little different from anything else in life. To continue, yes, you speaking about your stories shows the same bias mine would if I were speaking to exotic feline conservation and how counter-poaching needs to be increased as a mortal deterrent. We are loyalists to our own sections, so we are not about to fool anyone there we are unbiased parties that should be listened to as the head of reason. We ended up on different sides of the spectrum, but not for a moment will I lie to you and say, "I knew you were going to have some sad story to share." In reality, to help you understand my perspective, I viewed your remarks at face value and literal interpretations. The only way I can or should; sometimes a weakness can be a strength, as is with this case. And yes, [i]I do care.[/i] That is the part I find most amusing about this, because I have no qualms or second thoughts about defending someone else at the cost to my own person, even under threat of injury or death. In many ways, my life choices reflect this and my mentality does as well. There would be no question that if I encountered a man assaulting a transsexual person that I would immediately intervene. I might disagree spiritually and personally with a transsexual, but they are free to live their lives - especially without threat to life or limb. Lastly, can you please refer to me what form of legislative discrimination against non-traditional sexualities is being put into draft? Rather, any at all discriminatory legal documentation in process? To my current awareness, this is not an issue here in the United States.
