Just took a look at their facebook page....whew. They're taking some flak over "cultural appropriation". Won't be long before we're all dining at "government approved cultural neutral establishments", eating "cultural neutral" foods and drinking "cultural neutral" beverages while wearing "cultural and gender neutral" clothing so we don't offend any one.

Funny thing is, most of the noise on their facebook page seems to be coming from the transgender community. A community that, in my opinion, could be argued are appropriating another gender culture. Of course, if you bring up that argument, you are, according to them, a bigot.

Well, maybe if they can "self-identify" as another gender, we can "self-identify" as another race/culture? Would we pass the muster then?

Better yet, we claim to BE 10 percent Polynesian? Can we be left alone now? If they demand they want "genetic proof" of our claim, can we demand genetic proof of their gender?

Sorry for the rant, hope I didn't offend anybody, but it just the hypocrisy of it all is mind-boggling.
