Can't be any worse than the Bible Belt. The Bible Belt is truly Hell if you are an aspie.

Everywhere is hell if your an aspie. You wouldn’t be better off in libtopia either. It’s not a Bible Belt thing it’s a human thing.

I'd imagine "libtopia" wouldn't be such a utopia. One slip up, and bam, you're imprisoned for life for a hate crime... all because you mistakenly misgendered someone or some BS like that. There's gotta be some give and take. You want people to be treated fairly? Then that means you have to give them some f*****g leeway. Unfortunately, some people don't like that. You can't please everyone.

And s**t, I'd imagine "libtopia" would actually be an awful place to be an aspie, having to conform to all sorts of social niceties and s**t. f**k that. I'd rather have a less "utopian" society where I can get away with a bit more.

Have you ever actually mistakenly misgendered someone? In my experience you don't get screamed at and nobody wants you to go to prison. The person quietly says "she" and you go "right, my mistake, she..."

Don't throw the majority of polite people under the bus because of a folk tale of a rude person.

There’s lots of videos along with trans people complaining about it on Facebook. Sorry if you look female I say she and if you look male I say he. I accidentally told a older woman to have a good day sir. My boss was coming up the stays and covered saying I was talking to him. Im working on excluding pronouns now.

It’s hell. Which is why I don’t think him moving would help. The problems he’s having aren’t Bible Belt problems it’s female humans problems. Women in my liberal atheist area behave similarly to women in his Bible Belt. So moving to a atheist liberal area wouldn’t help him. Our only slim hope is randomly finding the few single women who don’t conform to society

This would be in "libtopia" though, a land run completely by the far-left. I wasn't being realistic.

Not all places outside the Bible Belt are non-religious, though. There are still religious people but the difference between them and the Bible Belt religious people is that they actually try to practice what they preach. Also, what makes you think I am a liberal? I see both hardcore liberals and hardcore conservatives as two sides of the same coin.

Wouldn't it be safer to use the pronoun "Zer" or just simply ask the person for the pronoun?
