It's strong rhetoric. We are trying to get you to acknowledge --- perhaps understand --- something important and it feels like we are talking to a brick wall. Frustrating and disappointing.
And I'm trying to get you to understand that you have taken it to a totally absurd extreme.

I understand that that is your proximal argument. It can't feel good to be accused of fomenting murder. Problem is, you are defending some worrisome behaviors/speech so you've got to expect pushback/consequence. You can easily be part of the solution. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the precipitate.

How does it feel to accuse me of fomenting mass murder when the only thing you can point to is my saying "men cannot get pregnant"?

This appears to be a veiled suggestion that anyone who looks differently or talks differently doesn't "fit in" and that somehow justifies bigotry.

Oddly enough, this same type of statement has long been used as a veiled racist weapon used to denegrate black people, Indian people, Chinese people, Italians, the Irish.... .

Would you like to alter your statement or do you stand by it?
Why would I change what I so thoughtfully posted?
I will accept anyone with respect that treats me with respect, I reject that a individual sexual identity must be accepted along with ostentatious behavior.

What if any action would you take if an LGBTQ person 'disrespects' you by being ostentatious?
I just would not have the time to share with them.
I just got back from my LD, picking up a bit of “stuff “
In our conversation at her house we realized we had known each other for 14 years. She is a beautiful person, Puerto Rican lesbian. We used to work together and she gives me credit for giving her the courage to take a chance in life and chase her dream to become a professional musician. I was asked to speak in a PR video, which I gladly did, when it’s released maybe I’ll share it.

Now you are being obtuse.

Not at all. That is exactly what you're doing.
Your having started a 'men cannot get pregnant' thread could be passed off as trivial were it not for your previous and subsequent defenses of bigoted speech. In this thread I've been trying to get you to acknowledge that the context is important and have repeatedly prompted you to spend your time being part of the solution to LGBTQ bigotry.

How do I feel about being using (or defending) strong rhetoric in an effort to get you to be part of the solution to LGBTQ bigotry? It doesn't feel good and I try to avoid it, but it is righteous.

That doesn't surprise me, because you don't actually seem like a bigot. Just a bit of a curmudgeon. My worry with your rhetoric is that it's a type that plays into the hand of bigots.
