I know this site has a lot of young people on it. A lot of them being below the age of 15, and I really doubt that they're all over 13 with the way some people present themselves. There are some things that are sensitive topics; sexuality, gender identity, self harm, suicide, etc. All I seem to be seeing is these "young people" making light of these issues in their blogs, vocalizing their disdain or opinions in the most immature and ignorant of ways and then not understanding the negative backlash they receive.
I am transgender. I am bisexual. I do not need someone to tell me that I shouldn't be "whining" about having to come out, because it's so easy. Or that being transgender is simple, just chop off or add on the parts you want and voila!
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, that does not mean you are correct, that also does not mean you are protected from someone rebutting. I do not get easily offended, I can't afford to be with everything that will be thrown at me in the future. But this is the kind of ignorance that slips through the cracks, that can be fixed if acted on, people need to be educated. It's not because I'm butt hurt or can't take a joke. I just don't want people thinking it's okay to say things that completely disregard the basic feelings and rights of others.
