Transgender Today – Karen Topham

First of all, this was when the person was 12 (the 60's), not today. Secondly the LGBTQ community speaks of being tolerant of all cultures, you have to take into account that the authors mother was probably raised that way from birth and that perhaps given sometime her mind could be changed.

I'm not really sure what this particular article has to do with anything related to what's discussed on this message board. To me it seems like outside of the LGBTQ community its self, the technology sector is the most accepting of their culture. It's extremely rare that I ever see people who actually don't like/accept LGBTQ in any community.

The technology sector is clearly not anti-LGBTQ or anti-women or anti-black. So why then do words like "racist" and "misogynist" get thrown around constantly? To me it seems like there is a small group of people attempting to control the narrative of conversations and arguments by making up arbitrary rules about how your culture is wrong (and therefore racist) and should assimilate to their culture, which requires extreme devotion to their rules (which actually don't exist).
