if it doesnt' bother you, then why are you defending them online? did they pay you? are you their pr?
you make no logical sense. "it doesn't affect me" true. i agree with this. it doesn't affect you. correct.
"that's why i'm defending them" this is where i'm saying you make no sense. nobody made you their Pr rep. therefore, i don't understand where you get this idea that defending strangers to another bunch of strangers somehow justifies the existence of your opinions on the matter.
"trying to be a different species is something different from trying to be a different gender" << HA! tell that to:

^^(random example i just googled within 10mins about people who genuinely believe they are allowed to be trans-species; you could find a lot more with more time).
my point is; once again, NO BODY MADE YOU A SPOKESPERSON TO ALLOW YOU TO MOVE THE GOAL POSTS ABOUT WHAT IS RIDICULOUS OR WHAT ISNT!
"trying to be a different species is something different from trying to be a different gender" << lastly, is an owl and a fox a different species or a different gender?
