On the other hand, we could all form our little cults of literal God-fathers. Plus all the little tykes would laugh at my jokes no matter how terrible every other intelligent being in the word thinks they are.

Well, load up some My Little Pony erotic fanfiction, and start popping out some asexual clones.

I think the fact that you're a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bigot invalidates everything you say.

In reply to the italicized; the discrepancy I was alluding to was wherein you (1) called for people to mind their own business ("I love it when people feel the need to get on their soapbox and rant about how other people live their lives."), but previously seemingly (2) called for laws making it illegal to act upon ones own moral standards ("I'm transgendered, and in several states I can get fired for being so, and I wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it. ").

It seemed as though you were juxtaposing a Libertarian position, which I labeled (1), against a statist position (2).

Understand?

In regards to the underlined, that's an ad hominem attack.

Amen, brother.

I really don't think so. She never said anything about laws, all she said was that the way she is treated for being transgendered is unfair and she is prevented from getting a job for no other reason than her life choice.

Expressing disagreement with the way employers treat her is perfectly compatible with asking people not to interfere or condemn something which does not affect them in any way. Is your life going to be made worse by the fact that she is transgendered?

Furthermore, I don't see what is wrong with complaining about the unfair treatment she gets. If someone is being refused a job in the private sector, there may be some defense as it is the business owner who decides who he wants to employ. But in the public sector, there is no excuse. If the government discriminates against the people then it cannot properly represent the people. And this is a perfectly reasonable complaint in my opinion.

unless you're good at hiding your original gender

Sadly so. I think that they have every right to complain about this, and I also think that it's really no-one's business to know if the person doesn't want it to be made known. What you don't know can't hurt you.

I don't think I'm juxtaposing libertarian positions with statist ones there.
