I really don't like close minded people.
Yo! Sup everyone I guess. I'm not really good when it comes to these kinds of things so I'll try to keep this pretty quick.
So I came over this community discussion about a person trying to create a group on WhatsApp with native speaking Spanish, French, Arabic and English people to learn one of the languages. "Group only for girls". So then I saw a male say "What's your whatsapp??" and then the discussion creator kinda rudely say "Sorry Sir.. the group is only for girls :)".
The reply really pissed me off. I later try to explain to her that there is a thing called Transgender/Transexual. (NOTE I didn't tell her that he was trans or anything I just told her that there are people that do identify themselves as the opposite gender) I was nice and told her that there are men and female in this community that is Transgender and/or Transexual and that they should be allowed them to join the group if they feel like they are a female. And she really didn't like that fact.
I would've been fine if she would reply to me and tell me or the post why she didn't want anyone trans but for her to just leave a thumbs down to then later ignore everything I've said? That's plain out disrespectful.
That's why I hate close minded people. Most of them are just plain out almost homophobic and they want to learn about the culture and language of another country which is pretty open minded compared to them. This is just one out of many close minded people I've meet. But to find a such close minded`, almost homophobic, person on a website about culture, languages and becoming friends with foreigner?
To be fair I didn't expect much from someone who lives in a county where it's illegal to marry someone of the same sex.
Tell me what you think of this. Am I over reacting? Or do you also dislike the fact that she was passively close minded/homophobic? Leave a comment and tell me what you think of this story.
Hopefully my next entry will be either Swedish or Japanses since I really want to get better Japanese
PS: Sorry if it's a bit weird. I'm kinda tired after not sleeping for 25h+
