I thought you might like to know that I just linked this to somebody in my workplace in the hopes of improving an online system that put me in exactly that mental bathroom framework (albeit with more second-guessing; I’ve been living out as male since 2006 and haven’t used a women’s restroom more than maybe three times since).

This post is brilliant. Thank you.

@Anonymous, December 9th: So basically, what you’re saying is “I support your right to be different as long as you’re like everybody else and I still think it’s wrong.”

How open minded.

Alright…now before I voice my opinions on this particular subject, I need to clarify a major point (and possibly a few other ones). I hold no emotions and have no support, negative or positive, toward the LGBT community. That being said, I find it wrong for one to be lesbian or gay; should one feel that way I believe one should change his/her gender (preserves a natural order).

Now, that being said, there is no real need for a change. One should simply put down the gender they are biologically. Gender is only truly important in statistics, and lesbians and gays are the vast minority in the world. I’d personally be interested in seeing the results of splitting the choice into 3; original, current, and mental gender, but at the same time, that is only of personal interest, there is no real need.

Now that being said; I support the right to be of whatever orientation you want. However I also believe that as a human you have a duty to procreate and pass on your genes to the next generation. So while I personally do not agree with it; the choice belongs to the person in question and nobody else.

(I lose track of original goals easy.)

Why is this open letter addressed only to “Silicon Valley”? If you don’t believe that work done by web developers across the globe matters, then you’re not buying into your own message. It’s time for people to stop believing that the tiny parcel of land that is Santa Clara County is the end-all and be-all of all things web.
