    I suspect my own inability to find the correct words for these situations as far worse. So thank you for bearing with me. They don’t exactly teach us this sort of thing in schools.

    Either way, your perspective on the matter makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing it. I hope you’ll continue to bear with the rest of us.

    My particular reason for engaging in these conversations is because I want to learn and understand how to better exist with other people.

      Well The only way you offend me is if you were trying too so if you have anymore questions you are afraid to ask then ask away.

      And as far as finding the right words you seem to be doing great.

        Thank you for the support. I try specifically to emulate the language I see in the LGBTQ community, but even then there is clearly a learning curve!

          In general don’t be a dick and you will be fine.

          As with anywhere else there are folks who are just looking to be offended. No matter what you say they will get pissy.

          Don’t let the bastards get you down.
