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!

It's more reasonable to take someone's word on their gender than on a title (doctor, lawyer, general, emperor, god, etc.), especially if the title imposes some subordinate status to you (call me daddy, master, boss, sire, etc.).
What really changes if they are "wrong" about their gender anyway? Besides the awkwardness of following a conversation when they clearly mean something different when they say "she", what is so bothersome that it is equivalent to calling the "God Emperor"?
"play a different game"
It's the same game, just a different in-group with different social norms. You do bring up the obvious conclusion for when you don't respect the individual enough or care about others who share the same in-group: join another group. In your example, this would be the racist making the minority and minority-sympathizers an out-group and joining the openly racist social group.
