No, of course you and Pink Spandex Guy are not hurting anyone by existing and should not be mocked. As I said, that's not what I'm talking about. Nothing gives people the right to be cruel or harm others. There are basic rights, freedoms and dignities that all people are entitled to.

I'm just arguing that some of what I see expected or demanded, around here and elsewhere in fandom, goes way beyond that basic decent treatment and amounts to asking all of society to bend over backward for the benefit of a very few people. Adding a tickybox to a form for pink eyes is simple and has very little impact on anyone who doesn't have them. Ditching gender-specific pronouns in everyday speech and replacing them all with neutral alternatives (as one example) is an entirely different matter.

At what point does mere discomfort become suffering? Who is expected to just suck it up and who isn't, and why? And just how rare does something have to be before we're allowed to acknowledge that it's out of the ordinary and treat it as such?
