Along with decorum, civility, maturity and respect, apparently.

Seriously, Push. I’ve enjoyed thinking about this from all the angles over the last couple of days. This discussion has been mostly civil and thoughtful.
Personally, I think North Carolina’s law is too narrow in it’s definition.
As a moderate Republican, I think they wasted an opportunity and created another PR black eye for conservatives that didn’t need to happen.
I’ve enjoyed trying problem solve what I’d do differently. I’m still thinking, and I’ve appreciated everybody chiming in. Paul Ryan gave a really awesome speech about civility in politics recently. I’m from a Politically mixed family where we talked. I think that’s a good thing.
I stand by the race example as entirely apt. If you care to make an argument as to why it is not so, I would be interested to read it. But if all you have is more bluster and insults, I for one can do without.
Race is an essential, fundamental, inescapable aspect of an individual’s identity. So is their gender.
Racism tends to be defined as the belief of the inherent inferiority of a race. I am curious how you mean it is this context.
I guess I don’t understand what is racist to compare one’s race to one’s mental state.
My understanding is that the comparison being made between the two is that one cannot choose their race. If we believe that transgenderism is a mental disorder, you would be inclined to agree that one does not choose to have a mental disorder, yes?
Or were you understanding Eyedentists posts to mean that blackness is akin to having a mental disorder? That is not how I read his post to mean, but if that is how you read it, that could explain the confusion.
Please don’t misunderstand me; I have no interest in this argument proper. I am asking how you meant that statement was racist.
It seems as though we cleared that up though.
But, believing that it is a mental disorder, you agree that how Kroc feels is not a choice, correct?
