Quite normal and healthy? Interesting take on bullying behavior. Bullying behavior is an effort to place oneself above another, so I would say your explanation is flawed. It's also a great attempt at trying to justify behavior that is so against the teachings of Jesus.

It's about this culture of putting these types up above everyone else. They have done nothing except fight through their own personal demons. Every person goes through this .... Why are they championed over anyone else?
That's not at all what I am discussing, however. I am discussing the disregard for your fellow man that is exhibited by the behavior you are engaging in. If you would like to make an argument about how the award was misplaced and all that, fine, I can get your argument. But your obstinate behavior with regards to the language used is what I was discussing, and has nothing to do with the above portion since you act in such a manner any time there is a story about a member of the trans community.

Then use their preferred name and/or pronouns. It's that simple. If you want to refer to the label use trans. It's been said to you and everyone before that it is a general, polite, and most accepted term used. That was stated back when it was explained the difference between transsexual and transgendered and is easy to remember and very broad. But I also suspect you are full of it with this portion of your post given your history on this topic.
