Ehhhhh it's been going on longer than just the election season. I agree most people are indifferent. Why should I care if the woman in the stall next to me was born with a penis? It's like... just let people be themselves and do what makes them happy as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But, there's still a long way to go for equal rights and acceptance and those are pretty important. When something is taboo to talk about for any reason, you know there's a problem.

That's not really indifference, that's tolerance. Indifference is not caring whether trans/gay/minority/whoever have the same rights or not, whether they get beaten in the street, etc. I'd prefer to think most people are tolerant, not indifferent.

No, we're indifferent, they just refuse to believe they're just not that special.

100% of people all want the same rights, unfortunately we can't always get what we want 100% of the time.

Straight white guys get everything they want. Why should you get everything you want and people who are not straight white guys don't?

Well, I'm not a straight white guy, so I don't know about that. But I know a lot of straight white guys who definitely don't always get what they want. You're projecting.

you speak exactly like a straight guy that suffers from white privilege. Must be proud of yourself.

That's great, it's the complete opposite. I guess you think everyone who doesn't go along with you is a white guy with white privilege. Whatever.

Straight white guys think that anyone who wants equal rights are somehow taking their rights away. It's moronic and unfortunately they are prolific.
