I seriously don't get people in #2 at all. It's like they want the song to be about them or something. They come across as serious creeps, not transgender folk.
People in #3 can go take a hike too. Seriously, it's none of their business, and trust me, even if you do end up having a kid, they don't go away. They will continue to harass you until you're dead. "What, you're only having one? Two? Why not another? Do you hate babies?"
Eh, you've hit on some of my pet peeves, it seems.
Geez, the group in #2... do they imagine they would feel more comfortable with men in women's clothes going into the men's room, or women transitioning to men going into the women's room? I really think not, apart from how uncomfortable that would be for the trans person in particular.
The trans-woman in my office, as near as I can tell, goes downstairs to use the single-person bathrooms in the lobby. I don't know if she's afraid of freaking people out in the women's room, or would feel too singled out by going in there. I sort of expected her to move over to the women's room over a year ago, but so far, no.
What freaks me out in the restroom? People talking on their damn phones while others are going about their business. Plus, I would not want to be on the other end of that phone call...
Hahahaha YES THERE YOU GO, fight pee calls! Those seriously freak me out. Like, OKAY, I can understand if the bathroom is the only quiet place wherever you are that you can take a call, but the ones who are like sitting on the can and yapping on their phones!? Um...no thanks!
#3, ugh, it's always the worst sort of parents who do it too. Good parents tend to understand that it's hard work and not for everyone and respect you for knowing you're not cut out for parenting.
Ya know, that's a really good point. A lot of the people I know who are parents and actually good at it are just like "it's hard work, and if it's not something you'd enjoy, then don't do it!" I seriously just don't understand how anyone could sit there and encourage someone to intentionally bring an unwanted child into the world. And if I had a kid, it would be unwanted, because I don't want kids. And the whole "you won't know for sure until you try!" thing - okay, yeah, GREAT IDEA. Let's fuck around with an innocent human being's life and bring them into the world as a personal experiment to see whether or not I change my mind once they're here. Because what if I *don't.*
