Are we going to admit Universities are producing thin-skinned people?

All this gender confusion is leading to language confusion. Deliberate obfuscation. Real stupid.

There's no language confusion. You can tell from context exactly what a person is saying. Language itself depends on context. Unless you're going to carry on a crusade against homonyms.

All this stuff is meant to confuse people via confusing language while claiming to be a victim at the same time.  There are two genders, that's it. Deal with it.

Clearly you think that. It's really not that difficult.

It's all meant to confuse. Some of these gender bender types are doing this deliberately to cause confusion. Which really is not helping their cause. This is part of what the Prof in Toronto has been talking about. This is actually a disservice to the whole movement.

A non-binary person that is actually making the transformation from male to female is NOT NON-BINARY ...  so stupid.

I mean, more power to you if you just want to exercise your ignorance on the topic. But saying you know the thoughts, beliefs, or motivations of people without any particular examples is silly. You a cis-gender heterosexual white male don't actually get to tell other people what is a "disservice" to their whole movement. It's just like white people during the Civil Rights Movement in the South, talking about "those people" going about things "the wrong way." It's their movement and they're doing it for the reasons they've stated. If you have a hard time understanding that gender is not binary, that's not their problem. It's yours. It's really not that difficult to understand.

It's not ignorance, as I've been watching a lot of this stuff online trying to understand it all. The more I watch the less it all makes sense. This is society bending and having to accept each little snowflake as what they are so they don't get all but-hurt and triggered with every damn word spoken. Most of these people are young and will grow out of this in a decade or so and many will reflect back on this and /facepalm when they understand how dumb they actually were for going down this road.

More and more this mentality is being targeted at younger people who have not reached puberty, so along with the confusions and problems of growing up, there is this new wrench in the system to cause even more confusion.

For the non-binary moved to trans, check out Milo Stewart (youtube) A confused young person that feels triggered with every word spoken

Another good one to watch is Blaire White, a male to female trans (not fully yet) even lays it out, two genders.

Also for the Toronto prof there is a certain individual 'Smugglypuff' who has been called out for physically attacking others while claiming she is a victim.  She gives the camera the nice finger telling the cops 'I did not see anything nothing happened' ...

Trust me I know what I am talking about.

Language is political, and with all things political if you refuse to negotiate then you'll be out of the loop when the negotiations happen.  'They' is an awkward choice, but for those of us (us) who are new to these things it falls of the tongue more easily then 'xe'.

The word 'snowflake' isn't helpful in these discussions.  It's one of these new insults like 'alt right' that creates a short-hand caricature for easy labelling.  I mean, who is going to defend a 'snowflake' ?  Better to talk about this in terms of rights and decorum IMO.  I do think people have a right to name themselves, and have less of a right to make demands on conventional language.  For the latter, there needs to be a dialogue for those who want to partake.

'Smugglypuff' ! :D 

You seem to reject violence, which I do also.  Best way to address it is to talk to people who oppose you as civilly as you can.

I am all for dialogue but I fight back, so I don't want anyone else crying foul if they strike first. There are many who cannot even express their views properly or explain how they feel. All this patriarchy blaming finds it's way into this area. The civil dialogue that many of these types put out does not resemble civility in any fashion.

And snowflake is an appropriate term for over-sensitive people who get but hurt and triggered over every little thing because they left their safe-space.

You seem to be out of your safe-space, trying not to deal with these people who experience life differently than you do.    You look very much like a snowflake to me, right now.

Your attempt at aikido falls short here. Member GostHacked is debating of snowflake is an appropriate term for someone who doesn't want to be exposed to things they aren't comfortable with. I don't see how he's looking for a safe space at all, it's an open debate about this phenomena.

GH clearly doesn't want to be exposed to something he's uncomfortable with  and is looking for a safe space that doesn't include that something, and does he want it referred to using in his vicinity.  That is snowflake behavior, is it not?

I would disagree with your assessment of the direction of the chat. But whatevs, it's not terribly relevant. 

But it's even less interesting to debate whether calling people snowflake is useful or not. Thin-skinned seems to aptly describe the safe space phenomena.

You'd be surprised as to what I've been exposed to. And I am comfortable with a lot of things. Most of the LGBT people I know are confident in their lives that they end up rolling their eyes at these thin skinned people.  The Universities are teaching people to go along to get along , leaving the critical thinking behind.

I don't think you are reading what I am putting out there.

How is "alt-right" an insult? It's a political ideology and movement with tons of empirical evidence behind it of people self-identifying with it. Saying "alt-right" is an insult is the same as these racist idiots saying its an insult to point out their racism. You sure twist yourself into a pretzel trying to pretend you're objective.

It can be used pejoratively to dismiss someone that comes to the right of your opinion. Similarly to how Commie or Socialist can be used to discredit Liberals.

Both of those terms are used primarily to insult people who DO NOT hold those views by implying that they do.

Do you think it's a compliment ?  I didn't think people called themselves that.   I don't pretend to be objective, nobody is objective but on the other hand I do better than some I'm sure you will agree.

Funny, but the same people who use the term "alt-right" hate the term "alt-left".   Now why would that be ?

I don't hate the term alt-left. You just look like an idiot making up nonsense that doesn't actually exist. The "alt-right" is a self-described movement. "Alt-left" is a nonsense reactionary pejorative that people from the alt-right made up because they've been exposed for what they are, fascist and racist pieces of trash.

Actually, both terms are in current usage in the United States, and some Canadians just import them like so many other things American. 

The alt-left doesn't need your approval in Canada to exist.

There's 2 genders yes, or if you don't associate with either than you're neutral.  There's no reason for new gender pronouns.  If you don't want to be called "he" or "she" then people can call you "they".  Very simple.

Pass they the salt?  I don't know about that!
