especially when the issue in question isn't political, but personal. Of course, this became clear during the past 1 and a half months in GD/P. I just have a visceral hatred against the casual dismissal of people and their concerns, especially in regards to discrimination and bigotry. On a more serious level, you must understand that you live in the closest thing to a liberal utopia in the entire country, the rest of us live in a more...intolerant, culture. As such you simply don't know how damaging it can be to not only the psyche but the livelihood of transexuals and others who live in most other areas of the country.
