 Sure. 100% agree with you on respect. Choosing something to be and expecting everyone to play along is a deeper question. Just because i may say i wish to be a woman does not equate with my wife feeling comfortable with me using her changing room, playing in her sport team, saying i want all things female to be now called names with no female reference. That is disrespectful to real women. Respect needs to be earned. This is where division occurs and more problems arise. It’s not an easy thing. 🤷‍♂️ my daughter told us categorically she was gay. Now she’s dating guys. It was a phase. There is too much media BS pushing agendas. All of my life i have had gay friends, cross dressing friends etc. Never have i disrespected them. The current era is very unsettling as it’s driving people apart not together. 
 All through the 80s AIDs was a huge social issue. That was an all out attack on gay people. Guess who was deeply involved. Fauci, and here he was again recently. Experimenting on people, media companies experimenting on people, a never ending push to keep people distracted, marginalised, subservient while pretending they’re being supported. I don’t believe it all sorry. The State does not want you, I or any group empowered. Far from it. They play collectivist games while stealing all your energy and time. 
 The fundamental issue is people are naturally kind and tolerant. The State sells fear and chaos through their media BS. The same with money. People believe they need the States they’re so used to being told they can’t cope. The banks should never have been bailed out. They should have failed because they were corrupt. Bitcoin was never bailed out, it is resilient through people power. The sooner we all realise we are powerful the sooner real tolerance, peace and prosperity returns 
 Thanks for listening, I’m here all week 😂
