My daughter just went to a Drag(on) party (sp???):
literally a pre-wedding party for two guys (and there was a stage drag theater contest).
My questions (being an old guy trying to fit into a new world)
1. Is it husband and wife or husband and husband (wife and wife for lesbians)?
2. Why do people do drag? and why don't they dress that way all the time if they like doing it so much?
3. I knew a 'flaming homo' in Toronto (did not know him well enough to ask questions like this): why do some guys act straight and some so feminine to outright flaming in yo' face?
Will probably remember some other questions later... does anyone have a primer?
Honestly asking.... this is all new to the guy who grew up (small town) saying "Ha...you're a homo!" without really knowing what that meant (when told about a 'circle jerk' i wondered why a bunch of guys would want to do that while thinking about women, lol).
Let the flaming begin!
**A side thought:
In the future there WILL be sex bots:
.....there will also be 'child sex bots' (and will/can child sex bots be made illegal?)... thinking about this is kind of disturbing, but i know it IS coming, sooner or later.
Will something like that take care of a pedo's needs or lead to something worse?
If you had a fully functioning sex-bot that looks/feels real with wonderful AI, would you consider never having a relationship (such as marriage) again or just stick with sex-bot?
If my wife died and i had a bot/AI that was acceptable, i might just stick with it, methinks.
Damn, my mind is going tonight!

"where is the intolerance"
If someone prefers that you refer to them as "she" and you refuse to do so, then you are demonstrating that you don't respect their beliefs about who they are. In other words, you do not tolerate the fact that their definition is different from yours or you insist that you know better than they do.
"should you care about social repercussions when dealing with a socially inequitable transaction?"
You'll have to deal with the repercussions whether or not it is fair.
Religion is a simple example where you may not share someone's beliefs, but you do not bother arguing with them whenever gods come up and you do not make your lack of respect known. People who don't tolerate religion (e.g. using "sky wizard" or calling religious people delusional) are often judged as rude by society and worse by the religious.
