I'm only asking because you seem to think that because you are confident in your identify and present in a way that there is no reason for anyone to doubt it, that everyone is that way and those who aren't have something "wrong" with them. I'm asking you to put yourself in someone else's shoes, but it seems you can't even do that. Oh well.
Even in the term "LGBT" it implies two genders
Even in the states that you don't have to show cause to fire someone, you can still get in trouble for firing someone in a protected class.Given that folks have slowly voted away their employee protections since the 80s, an employer can still terminate and not really worry about the letter of the law.
I'm still of the opinion that saying "ladies and gentlemen" IS inclusive to 99.5% of the population.If an employee is made to feel uncomfortable pervasively, then that’s good enough. Employees rarely win suits against their employers for wrongful termination. Most of these suits fail.
The reality is that folks needs to be civil and inclusive.
The term now is LGBTQ+ The + encompasses a number of other designations.
Well nobody has doubted it in my 30+ years of living. I guess that's what happens when you go by the sex listed on your birth certificate. Crazy huh?
Is it ok for Ladies and Gentlemen to still be acknowledged too? Is there a third term of equal formality for the nonbinary set? As a biologically defined woman, who identifies as a woman, I don't mind acknowledging nonbinary persons, but I still matter too, and we should all equally be repsresented, should we not?

but "B" is still there, that means two genders. So if that's the case, do people who are in that community also not agree on the number of genders?

Those who choose the bathroom fight seem to willfully ignore that some people can be quite far along in a transition before or if they ever have surgery. Which means that the same girl might be in a bathroom with what appears to be an adult male simply because society can't handle that person using the bathroom where they feel most comfortable. Who exactly is this helping?
You do know transgender and gender fluidity is a mental illness right? It's not actually a real thing.
Why do you care so much about something that doesn't affect you in any way? If my neighbor said they were a dinosaur, I'd say 'Cool, just don't eat my dog please'.Yes and there is absolutely nothing disrespectful about "good morning ladies and gentlemen." Further, I have no interest in indulging fantasies about someone claiming to be a man on Monday but a woman on Tuesday.
I'm just not going to do it.
What about people who actually like to be referred to as a lady or a gentleman. Thinking of some of our elders here. Do their opinions count? Or is just to heck with them, they're old and out of touch?
Is that per the DSM 5 or just your opinion?
Yes. Just as in any community, not everyone in the LGBTQIA community may all agree. In some communities, bisexuals were excluded and some Gays and Lesbians didn't believe someone could be attracted to all genders. Same with Transgender people, they were not always accepted. Gender identity and sexual preference "norms" are always evolving, even since before there was a label for it (meaning since the beginning of time).but "B" is still there, that means two genders. So if that's the case, do people who are in that community also not agree on the number of genders?
