Just don't ask me about the gay agenda. It's a secret.

The extermination of sugar gliders is merely a distraction.

I think I'm the only gay guy on these forums.

Highly unlikely. There should be exactly 99.0 gay forum members based on the exceedingly precise statistic of 10% of any population being gay, which is totally accurate because so many people repeat it.

Whoud be nice if you listed source

But I agree, I think he's confused as to what gay means

No, i am not. I knew what it meant form the begining of this thread. I made mistake of writing gay when meant any other form of sexual minority.

And that dog persion was meant to be analogy.

And jackblack, why do you claim clothing is sexist?

In more than a few cultures, men wear dresses. It's no big deal for them. It's just 'The West' who seem to take issue

It is sarcasm.
Here is an example:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/apr/05/10-per-cent-population-gay-alfred-kinsey-statistics

And jackblack, why do you claim clothing is sexist?
Not clothes themselves, but the idea of saying only one particular sex can wear a certain item of clothing is.
It is discrimination based upon sex, i.e. sexism.

Why? Men and women have diffirent bodies so diffirent clothing is natural thing. Also, it is just appropriate thing to do realy.

Is coming to work in some company in dirty worker clothing and getting looked upon discrimiation aganist worker class?

Not in the slightest.
For that you mainly get differently shaped torsos.
Just what about a woman's body makes them uniquely suited to wearing dresses and what about a man's body makes them not suited for wearing dresses?
Absolutely nothing.

It is entirely cultural, with society/culture making up sexist standards and acting like they should all be obeyed.
In the not-to-distant past, it was quite strange for a woman of class to be wearing anything other than a dress. But look how society has changed, not being fine with them wearing pants.

That depends on what work you are doing and if that dirt is appropriate for the work.

And men in the west can wear dresses without wanting to be women.

About the only thing a man could wear that a woman cant or would be pointless to is a codpiece. Apart from that, there is no reason I should not be able to go outside rocking a boob tube and a short skirt with heels  8) How would that affect anyones life?

Let's see if we can push you further out on the limb.

Is it inappropriate to you if Shifter decides to take his wife out to a nice dinner, he wearing a fetching foral blouse with a matching skirt and highheels and she wearing a pinstripe suite with a silk red tie and wing-tip shoes? None of which seem to have any negative physical effects due to different body types.

If so, why? Does that offend you in some way? If so, why?

ITT: literally only straight people debating about LGBT people (although at least the opinions are alright for the most part!) .

Also it is endlessly amusing how the conservatives here also get upset about men wearing dresses, but they get hard over these guys:

The question would be why does it 'bother' you... How are you affected by my attire? Is my wife wearing the suit and wingtip shoes less a problem for you?

While I don't know you, I'd say if me being comfortable in any attire including a floral blouse really grinds your gears then the problem isn't me, but you. Are you irked only if you see me in a dress out somewhere? Or just the knowledge or thought that I'm wearing a dress out? lol. Maybe me wearing a dress somehow threatens your own masculinity? If so, you are the one with an issue to work through. It speaks to your own insecurities. Not me wearing a dress.

There's at least two of us!

Very technically, I'm bi too. But for me it's like having a very, very strong preference for pie over cake. Would you bother to explain the nuance of that preference to people, or would you just say you like pie?

Apart from women requiring clothes that take into account hips and breasts, there's no reason that any clothes are classed as male or female. I'm wearing a three piece suit right now, to match with my son. He sometimes likes to combine a tutu with his suit and has requested a pink shirt next time I buy him a new one, turns out his body is perfectly capable of wearing a tutu, doesn't make his penis fall off or anything.

Wouldn't it be nice if nobody cared if you liked pie or cake?  Be nice if people didn't have to hide the fact they like cake if they want a job at a company who's CEO likes pie.  Cake eaters can't wear pants.  Pie eaters aren't allowed to like flowers.  It's all dumb.

Personally, I am fond of pie shakes.

I agree, but pragmatically, we live in a world where it does matter, which is both understandable and unfortunate.

It's probably why no one in several years has known I was gay till I told them -- I've become exceptionally good at hiding it. I had to become good at that.

Queer kid growing up in the Midwest? Not fun nor easy. Having to attend church once or twice or thrice a week just to be told that gays will burn in hell? Not the best thing to hear when you're nine-years-old. Getting your ass kicked for being a faggot? That was just a part of the weekly school routine.

I came into this world exactly as I am and it was hostile towards people like me. I don't get it, but it's just my reality. I'm really glad it's changing, though, even if it's a little too late for people like me who were stamped under a metaphorical boot for decades.

What whoud be diffirence between knowing you do that and seeing you do same thing? And i never get that "theat to your own masculinity" argument"?

From the Scientific evidence that the Earth is flat thread. Because this conversation was a pretty gigantic derailment from the topic and seemed to merit its own conversation.

Also, you should ask yourself why the way someone chooses to dress themselves has the power to bother you. That's a lot of control over your own psyche that you are giving to the rest of the world, and for what?

It's weird that anyone wears clothes at all. Have you seen the rest of the animal kingdom? We're pretty unique in this whole clothes-wearing habit we have.
