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!

"demanding you address him as "God Emperor""
That's a bad analogy for a number of reasons (closer examples would be how some refuse to acknowledge him as president or don't consider him a "real" Christian) and the topic has too much baggage.
"Where does this assumption that people are feeble minded enough to surrender their personal autonomy in acquiescence to the ego needs of others come from?"
I don't really understand why you're making this such a big deal. There isn't some gender-identity Room 101 that will torture you until your feeble mind cracks and you truly believe that someone is really a "she", even if they were born with a penis. You don't need to change your mental definition in order to be polite around others.
This is about social interaction not beliefs and that's why I keep stressing how these decisions depend on the social repercussions. You don't avoid social consequences by arguing semantics, logic, or nitpicking the denotative meaning of words.
