One person made a complaint at some random college and the right turned it into news so they could attack people? This is why the right isnt taken seriously. They act like this complaint is a big deal, but the real issue is all of them trying to turn it into news.

How have I gotten this reputation of being not serious or a troll?

Anyways, post was sincere. This topic is filled with a behavior that is obnoxious to deal with. It isn't that all cis people are these gremlins that feed on mocking behavior that doesn't mesh with their own cis heteronormative worldview, but enough fucking do that sometimes it's better to avoid.

Its astounding they didnt hire one of the hundreds of billions of women or nonbinary people that work construction.

Person who got offended is a piece of shit for assuming the gender and sexuality of these men who definitely weren't too comfortable either.

Wait, maybe I'm behind the times, but we in the real adult world also like to complain about short notice and long time windows for people coming into our homes, too, right? Honestly, this looks like some pretty normal complaining but throw in the words "I felt" and the right-wing propaganda machine pounces on the weakness.

we are mocking the idea that someone is literally incapable of even being around cis people for something as simple as routine building maintenance. i'm sorry, but if you're expecting to live your life in modern society without even being in the same room as cis people, who compromise like 99% of the population, you're in for a very rude awakening.

The cismanness of the workers is just icing on the complaint cake, and it's not even saying it was such a terrible thing as you're all acting like, just that the college could have done better if they'd tried at all not to put students out of their rooms at the last minute.

I worked on my college's newspaper, and this is pretty run-of-the-mill, finding-your-voice, look-back-and-cringe stuff. Yeah, you don't get to schedule your contractors as well as you'd like, but the medium is appropriate for the message, and I don't get the angry reaction of people saying that when this student in particular says something that sucks sucks she's a bad person.

they gave them the required amount of notice. If those people ever rent theyll have to deal with the exact same thing.

its a stupid thing for her to complain about and bringing their gender into it is just extra stupid. Especially since theres no way shed even know their gender beyond her assumptions. Which youd think is exactly the kind of presumption a person with a complaint like this would be against.

Sure, that's why I'm not. It isn't exactly extreme to become mentally exhausted at dealing with the same stupid shit every single day.

It's reasonable to not want to put up with that and create an environment in which you can expect not to have to.

yes thats true, but it doesnt make this a valid complaint or a reasonable one.

i did a long renovation project at a shelter for abused women and most of the crew were men. All but one actually. There were a lot of rules and precautions which all made perfect sense, but the women who werent comfortable made arrangements to not be in their room when we had to be in there.

these were all women who lost their homes / routine because of domestic violence and they were able to understand that work needed to be done.

They were literally right with less than a percent margin of error
They were off by ~12.3% if you only factored in those who answered that they were CisGendered and HeteroSexual.

The would be off by ~4.6% if you assumed everybody who didn't answer to be CisGendered & HeteroSexual

The Margin for error is more than a percent.

So what was their purpose in either going to the media with this and/or kicking up a fuss until someone in the media noticed and spoke to her about it? Also why is she saying "angry hurt and confused" like she was somehow being absolutely fucked over?

Its not even making a mountain out of a molehill. It's making a mountain range out of an ant hill.

Shes using this strong language and really sounding like it had a profound negative impact on her when it is literally just a thing that every living person has to deal with. And not one that anyone likes. I hate having strangers in my house, and I have anxiety over it too... but I accept that it has to happen sometimes and... that's kinda it. It happens. Its not perfect. Its just life.

Hey, I'd rather not let just some random person touch or do anything with my car. I carry a heavy jacket in the backseat for bad weather.

Also when I was in NJ I had to keep a shop cloth just to get the gas off the paint, that he let run down.

but the point remains that she either made a point of talking to this guy about it for an article or else she was vocal enough about the issue that they came to her to talk about it.

They said 99% of people are cis, which is correct according to the link you provided.

They said nothing about sexual orientation, so why you're choosing to include it to make an argument puzzles me.

Unless you assumed they meant cishet, which is a pretty big assumption on your part.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/329708/lgbt-identification-rises-latest-estimate.aspx
Currently, 86.7% of Americans say they are heterosexual or straight, and 7.6% do not answer the question about their sexual orientation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gallup's latest update on lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender identification finds 5.6% of U.S. adults identifying as LGBT.

But 7.6% refuses to answer the question, so that allows some vagaries to the overall %.

But even if you assumed that 7.6% who refused to answer are just regular CisGendered & HeteroSexual

100%-5.6% = 94.4%

"At Best, 94.4% DON'T consider themselves amongst the QUILTBAG identification"

That means they consider themselves CisGendered and HeteroSexual.

94.4% =/= 99%
