I'm a white, I'm straight, I'm cis and I'm athiest. I'll be honest. I won't make exceptions for people who are of a different race or ethnicity. I won't make exceptions for homosexuals, bisexuals or asexuals. I won't make exceptions for transgender people. And I won't make exceptions for other religions.
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking:
What a racist, homophobic, transphobic bigot. She has no respect.
And from that, I'd say you were right. We see so much media now about discrimination against certains groups (like those mentioned above) and what I just said would make me seem really intolerent. But I'd like to explain. This is my honest opinion.
- It is not my duty in life to respect somebody for being of a different race.
- It is not my duty in life to respect somebody because they have different sexual preferences.
- It is not my duty in life to respect somebody because they're trans and I'm cis.
- It is not my duty in life to respect somebody because of their religion
I don't care that you're black. I don't care that you're gay. I don't care that you're trans. I don't care that you're religious.
Because I love you anyway.
You see, I won't hate you because of these things. But I won't be nice to you because you're different and I might be called prejudiced if I don't.
- My duty isn't to respect you because of who you are.
It is my duty in life is to respect you because you are a person.
My views are quite simple. I don't care what gender, race, religion or sexuality you are. If you are nice to me, I'm nice to you. We're both people, and that's it.
I won't make exceptions, because I don't need to. Because those things shouldn't matter to anybody but yourself.
I hope this has explained why I won't make exceptions for people, because I treat everyone equally and as well as I can.
