But definitely too much energy is being put I to anti-LGBT+. Like who really cares what people do with their personal time? To me, they are the same person they were before they came out. With that being said, I don’t think that I know anyone who is trans. Different story there, if they want to use a different pronoun or name, just call them by there preferred pronoun and name, doesn’t seem like it has to be difficult.
Anyways, I wish that threads like this didn’t have to exist, but clearly they do.

Exactly.
For example at school:
Teacher: Is _______ here?
Student: It's _______
Teacher: Cool. *marks attendence*
Simple as that. Kids have been doing it for generations. It shouldn't be a big deal now.
What I truly don't understand is that I would say the majority of intolerant people seem to be my age (that is parents and people in their 40s+).
So they grew up in the same era I did - the 80s and 90s. An era of Degrassi, Much Music, and countless after school specials. These are all shows that promote tolerance and acceptance, usually where a bully realizes his mistake and changes his ways.
So I guess these people either a) Cheered for the bully back then or b) used to be tolerant of others and then decided that wasn't for them anymore?????
