"Transgender people deserve something vital. They deserve your respect."
--Caitlyn Jenner
I don't understand how people deserve my respect for trying to change their sex. By what calculation is that particularly respectable? Isn't it a judgment to be made individually and subjectively? Am I not free to respect a person by whatever gradient I choose and according to whatever criteria are meaningful to me? I don't even respect all people who are conflict-free about whether they're a man or a woman. So why should being confused confer more respect on someone?

- I worked 17 years as a West Coast radio announcer/deejay in the 1980's & 1990's. Also was music director, production director, and program director in pop, country, top 40, and adult contemporary formats. U. S. Navy veteran. INTJ on the MBTI. Panentheist agnostic heathen with reincarnationist suspicions. (That's panentheist, not pantheist. Wikipedia has a good disambiguation page.) Concerning politics, I'm more conservative than liberal, more libertarian than conservative, and more disillusioned with politicians than anything else. Favorite Quotes: What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. --Ralph Waldo Emerson Before enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water. --Buddhist saying Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily. --Johann Friedrich Von Schiller The philosopher does not disparage the common man. Exactly because he is the exception, he must protect the rule. --Nietzsche The only important thing about a first draft is to finish it. --Hemingway The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats; Chambers of the great are jails, And headwinds right for royal sails. --Emerson We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has not superfluous parts; which exactly answers its ends. --Emerson The average estimate themselves by what they do, the above average by what they are. --Johann Friedrich Von Schiller From restriction itself, a further refinement of thought can be gained, just as great poets do; the tyranny of rhyme forces them to discover their finest lines. --Marcel Proust The absence of restriction is the enemy of art. --Orson Welles HEAVEN IS Italian lovers French chefs German mechanics Swiss administrators English police HELL IS Swiss lovers English chefs French mechanics Italian administrators German police Website Under Construction: peterblock.net
