Can you make people angry and hostile for saying "tomboy" on school grounds?
When i see other people refer to a female crossdresser as a tomboy. Some girls who dress like boys don't mind being referred as such but when i refer to tomboys as some female cross dressers, i get a hostile "that was uncalled for" while i get another freaking "do not say that anymore" by a teacher who's always oversensitive. people would stare at those who utter the word "tomboy" in public and at school because it means other bullies have been stereotyping female transgenderites by using that name and to avoid such hostile stereotypes, they would always make social rules against using the word "tomboy" to accept the transgendered sensitivity. And if i use the word tomboy to refer to a female transvestite, people would feel so angry they would pull an effort to have me sent to the principal's office for making female tomboys proud. Can you make people angry and hostile for using the word tomboy to refer a female cross dresser on school grounds? I think so by my standards. What do you think? and why?
What does it mean when someone says you were "hostile"?
But i've NEVER spoke to him before. He never tried talking to me either. I just didn't poke him back on facebook until now. And he poked me months ago. :/
How do you deal with someone who is always hostile?
Aesop has a fable about the wind and the sun.The wind and the sun had an argument to see who was stronger. While they were quarreling, they noticed a traveler with his coat wrapped tight, walking on the road beneath them passing them by. So the sun proposed a challenge. He said, “Let’s agree that whoever can get the this traveler to take his coat off, is the strongest.” The wind agreed, and went first… It blew fiercely on him, but the traveler just pulled his coat tighter. But the sun shined down on him warmer and warmer, warmer and warmer, until the traveler got too hot, and just took his coat off.Moral of the story? Kindness, gentleness and persuasion win where force fails.If you treat people a certain way, they’ll respond a certain way. Or as the other saying goes, you catch more bees with honey than vinegar.
What does it mean when someone says, "You are not my type"?
This is a polite way of saying, “No thank you” to any opportunity for a relationship. I am assuming that you expressed interest in getting to know someone better, most likely because you are attracted to them. By saying, “You’re not my type,” this person is saying that there is no chemistry between you, not that there is anything wrong with you. If it was a harsh or rude rejection, then you might hear, “I will never go out with you in a million years.”The truth is that even if you are attracted to someone, there is no guarantee that they will be attracted to you. Part of the fun of pursuing a romantic interest is wondering if the feelings are reciprocated. I have found that the best remedy is to use light humour and sincere warmth while speaking of your feelings, and do it sooner than later. Get it over with, just let the person know how you feel.If your feelings are not reciprocated, be very polite, and move on. You might be surprised with the fact that your ability to accept rejection gracefully is a sign of maturity and is attractive. You might have to be rejected several times, my friend, but the trick is to choose partners whom you truly have a connection with, because if you just say beautiful things to people you don’t care about, you’ll eventually have to walk away from them, and you will feel very badly about hurting another. Anyway, good luck! And know that EVERYBODY is SOMEBODY’S type, so if this one person you like doesn’t return the feelings, there will be someone who does.
If you call someone a bigot...doesn't that make you a bigot by default?
See...now you are editing...cause originally you said calling someone a racist is being racist. Same with anti-semite...hence my example. But you edited that little part out...and are now saying "how is calling someone a racist being a bigot". Which still is something I never said. BUT if you want to go that route...fine...you are still wrong. If you want to take the strict form of the defintion...and you are saying he is a racist and you disagree with that (read intolerant)...then yes...that makes you a bigot. It is quite simple..."intolerant of ones belief". If you are intolerant of someone being racist...do you fit that definition?
Why is it that I am often approached with hostility by more outgoing atheists as a Christian?
Why is it that I am often approached with hostility by more outgoing atheists as a Christian?It’s hard to say.Let me take how this question reads first: I happen to be a Christian. And there I am, minding my own business, when atheists come up to me and start being hostile.I’m not sure I buy that. At minimum, I think you’re being up in their face about being a Christian.What I’ve seen many times is that Christians want to have beliefs, want to make declarations based on those beliefs, and then want to be shielded from the consequences of their declarations because, you know, those are beliefs.So what have I seen specifically?Christians who try to say that atheists can’t be moral if they don’t believe in GodBelievers who try to say that if you are a woman, of a different race, or homosexual that you shouldn’t get the same rights as othersChristians trying to say that if you don’t believe in a God, you can’t employ logic, because logic comes from GodBelievers saying that if you don’t believe the same thing they do, you deserve to be tortured foreverThese claims range from annoying to morally horrible. The believer then often hides behind a shield of “It’s not me saying it. It’s God saying it.”For instance, they’re not saying that they think you deserve to be tortured forever. They’re just saying that God says that you deserves to be tortured forever. And that God is always right.So if you’re putting forward a position like one of those, yes, I can see why you might be confronted with hostility about your position. And if you’re not putting forward a position anything like that, perhaps you’re just caught in the backlash from what others believe, and I’m sorry to hear that.
