The point is people are allowed to say something non politically correct and not be crucified for it.

I was referring to their former and current selves, which is the reason I used both names. Would you refer to Bruce as Kaitlyn? How is that any less fucked up? Am I supposed to beat around the bush and say "when Kaitlyn was a man" just so I don't anger the transgender community for daring to use their former name?

Also, stop assuming you think you know what I care about, that just makes you look like an asshole. I was hanging out with multiple people for hours last night that are members of the LGBTQIA+ community...so kindly shut the fuck up 😉

Sure, I did something "wrong" intentionally (with ZERO malice intended), I just think it's ridiculous (and actually kinda funny) how angry people got over it. It's not like I completely denied their "status" (or whatever) as the opposite gender. I included both names (referring to their former and current selves) because their former gender and current gender are two different identities, correct? You wouldn't refer to Kaitlyn's former self as Kaitlyn, would you? She was Bruce when she was a male, so how is that "wrong"? It was like I collectively punched everyone in the metaphorical balls just because they saw a name. It's like we're living in the Harry Potter universe and I said "Voldemort".

I'm accepting of everyone, I was hanging out with a non-binary guy, a queer girl, and another guy, whom I believe was transgender last night for multiple hours. Yet, people read so far into stuff that they assume that you're on the extreme opposite side of them all because I decided to use the former names of two celebrities when comparing how they looked as their former selves and their current selves.

It seems that (some) people that are members of the "other" (I'm sure I'll get hate for that as well!) communities outside of Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual community are some the angriest people, I've seen it mentioned multiple times from people that are part of the LGB community that there is a rift between them and even they find it quite ridiculous. It's like the people on the TQIA+ are on the extreme opposite side of the "anti" side, you fuck up and they want to crucify you and deem you as being hateful.

I was also only banned for a day because of that entire conversation, the permaban was because I said "As a guy I appreciate the change" when a woman said she switched from jeans to yoga pants as her daily wear (in a completely different post) 🤣 You can't even make an "out of line" comment without enraging the powers that be apparently! Imagine being a woman and saying "as a woman, I appreciate the change" when a muscle bound guy said he switched from wearing loose T-shirts to tight t-shirts that show off his muscles. It's fucking ridiculous.

This is a month late, but what I meant was there is no way to do them completely separately since the state largely uses your federal return. When you submit your state taxes it checks to see if your federal return was already accepted (usually at that point you haven't actually submitted your federal taxes, or at least the IRS hasn't entered them in as submitted), if it shows as being accepted already their system is set up in a way that won't allow a second submission online.

I was just permanbanned from BWA because I dared to make a joke comment saying "as a man I appreciate the change" when a woman said she switched from jeans to yoga pants as her daily wear 😂

God forbid someone says something out of line and have a differing opinion!

God forbid people use technical/biological terms that have been in use for decades! Oh the horror 😱 People seriously need to get a fucking grip if they can't handle the word "transitioned" or referring to a third person as their dead name.

I literally just got permanbanned from BadWomansAnatomy because I made a joke comment saying "as a guy, I appreciate the change" when a woman said she switched from jeans to yoga pants as her daily clothing. My account is 11 years old, I have only ever been banned from two subs, up until about a few days ago when I have received two warnings (one on my main account and one one my porn account) a temp ban, and now a permaban.

The IPO has really made them super heavy handed in controlling what is "acceptable" because they gotta keep that money flowing and keep the board happy!

There's a huge difference between referring to a third party as their "dead name" and calling someone their dead name" to their face. I would never refer to my friend Sarah as Andrew, but people are getting pissed that I referred to a celebrity who won't ever see it. It's like I referred to John Wayne as Marion Morrison (his real name) and people call for lynching me in the street.

I can understand calling someone their dead name to their face, I never call my friend Sarah Andrew, because I respect her wishes. These are celebrities that are definitely not going to see this and people are getting pissed off about me referring to someone else. Respect is earned, not given freely. I don't give a fuck if it's Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt or Kaitlyn Jenner. It's like me referring to John Wayne (the actor) as Marion Morrison (his real name) and people flipping shit. Get a fucking grip people.

Hate speech is one thing, but apparently differing opinions aren't welcomed though, regardless of how they're stated.

I think it's because you can "largely" trust business to protect this information, this isnt even really a business.

Yeah it's pretty common in IT jobs where they're like "we want 25 years experience in these ten different technologies" and then you talk to the hiring manager and they admit that those qualifications are ridiculous.
