    Are you trans then? If youre white, would you prefer the term “normal”? Instead of a cis white guy, would you prefer “normal guy” to imply that other people are not normal? because I mean, well, they aren’t white. Theyre brown and trans. Youre normal, and we can all have a happy comment section. Group hug everyone!

      Just call me a normal normal normal normal because I’m tired of being called a straight cis white man.

        It’s not an attack on you, I say as a straight cis white guy. It’s for people that are othered to not be excluded. It’s saying that every person is uniquely themself as well. How someone identifies is their identity after all. I have friends that are gay, straight, trans, and queer. If I can do little things like acknowledging my friends for who they are, then I am helping make their lives just a little bit better in an often cold and uncaring world.

            It’s harder to tell when people in this very chain are saying similar without any sarcasm.

              I was hoping that they absurdity would make it clear, but obviously it wasn’t clear enough, because some of these people are crazy.

                That’s the sad truth unfortunately. I don’t even approach sarcasm these days since the absurd might take it as validity.
