    I wasn't assigning blame. That's irrelevant to the subject of someone merely being Big Mad Offended.

    So, if someone walks up to me and says “excuse me, sir” and I say “I’m not a man” that doesn’t make me an asshole.

    If someone walks up to another person who, despite looking very male, is obviously wearing a dress, make up, styled hair, etc, says to that person “excuse me, sir”, that person is obviously being an asshole.

    If someone walks up to someone who, from behind appears to be male, and says ‘excuse me, sir” and that person turns around and starts berating the first person, then in that case the second person is being an asshole.

    And yes, we all acknowledge that all examples exist. They are still assholei. One is not more so than that other. in my opinion. Others may feel differently. I don’t . Assholes are assholes.

    So what if she did?
    It's just a fucking word. No different than college teachers being Professor so-and-so than Mr. So and so.
    So you're going to let society dictate to you what you should and should not call people? Hmmmmm....

    Because that was not the excuse originally given for arbitrarily removing it from our paychecks. It was never intended as a slush fund so they could un-fuck the budget without cutting off the pork supply to their donors.

    They will still do it. My desire to be female does no harm, but according to the lies I make chicken eggs soar in price every time I piss.

    I operate under the assumption that there will be nothing left to claim.

    Not sure why me reclaiming my own fucking money would be some kind of "own" either way.

    A nonanswer. So yes, you do intend to claim SS.

    Because you're not reclaiming your own money. Most Americans receive more than they paid into it due to inflation and interest. So, basically, you'll be taking MY tax money. I'll be supporting you for many years. And I doubt you will decide to forego that money based on the principle of it. I bet you'll get back what you paid into it, and then keep on connecting that money with no problem whatsoever.
