Shouldn't we also recognize this forum... the org isn't nor should it be a place for "groupthink" either?
People will have different points of view. If you disagree or think some folks opinions are foolish... speak up and say why, call the person(s) out. Running to a mod because you've been insulted in my humble opinion is, childish. We are all adults, if some folks can dish out saying dumbshit, they should also be able to take it when others call them on it. Get backbone, grow a pair, or reach back and pull your undies out of a bunch. "Snipping" someone points of view is censorship; you've censored a persons words on a page not their thoughts. I know, I know your forum /org rules... which have always been arbitrarily enforced. Change and mindsets evolve when we have a honest discourse. (IMHO)

There's a fine line between "different points of view" and what could be considered "hate speech" in this context.

Completely agree.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

You know I'm still stuck on the age thing. I'm not phased a bit by the rest of it. I mean it's like this person's accomplished everything else, a gold medalist, a highly successful business person, 3 marriages, a gaggle of kids, now it's like what's left, oh yeah. I'm having a hard time mustering up the applause meter on this one, too many 20 & 30 something year olds are going through hell to make this transition in their life, giving up and taking so much, to me that's brave.
This much applause needs to be given to anyone who's willing to die looking like the way they want but they don't, meaning people in general are really just going along with the acceptable flow. Okay, a wee bit crass on the die part but still this person will not be living that long with their final decision. Would be nice if this person was donating part of their proceeds from the funds they'll be making to helping others going through it, to realize their dream, now that would be commendable.

Exactly. If I don't regard Caitlyn as a "she", it doesn't mean I hate or wish any harm on that person. Just expressing my own humble opinion. If others can't handle it, that's their problem.
a perfect example of a person seeminly lost to inane idiocy.
