You know, some years ago, I was friends with a young transexual. The friendship ended bitterly and I want nothing to do with them ever again, but I did learn that this person experienced it as incredibly problematic that conversation routinely defaults to an assumption of &quot;people are either male or female.&quot; I don&#x27;t always get it right, but I do make an effort to use language that implicitly allows for other possibilities, such as a phrase like &quot;whatever your gender&quot; instead of a phrase like &quot;regardless of whether you are male or female.&quot;<p>Similarly, you could have made the same sarcastic point in a way that did not essentially collude with the position you were criticizing by saying something like &quot;Poor people should be invisible&quot; instead of &quot;should stay at home.&quot; If you wish to be a genuine advocate for homeless people, instead of getting on your high horse with me -- someone who has self identified as homeless -- in order to defend your ego, you could have apologized or commented that &quot;I hadn&#x27;t thought of it that way&quot; or any number of other things that would be genuinely understanding, compassionate and respectful instead of worrying so much about your ego and self interest.<p>If there is some means where I can get a free copy of your movie downloaded to my android tablet, I would be happy to try to watch it some time.<p>Take care.
