While I respect your right to have an opinion, you are going to become the very vocal minority, and you will end up biting your tongue. See how you're the lone person making derogatory comments? Most people like you have learned to keep their hate silenced and organized, the intelligent move when you hold the unpopular and abusive opinion. have a penny, it's all you'll get from me.

Yes you do flaunt it, you're doing it right now, you're on my post, on my page. You also reap the rewards of being a straight white cis man every day in your day to day life, just for the record. I'll be muting you now, have a nice day.
Being a "white cis man" doesn't help in all situations though. We're certainly not all inherently better off than those of another race, sex or social gender. I don't say that to neglect your struggle, but only because we don't wanna fall into a trap of using adjusted racism and sexism to achieve good political or social goals.
When does it hurt you? In order for racism to exist, it must be backed by systemic oppression. White men do not have this. White men enforce this. Can you be prejudice against white people? Sure. Not racist though. I feel like "adjusted racism" is just a play on "reverse racism" that the ignorant population of butthurt white people like to use. Thank you for having a civil discussion with me and not slinging shit in my face.

That's unfortunately a confused understanding of racism and sexism, that seems to be spreading especially across the United States at the moment and which is in of itself actually both of those things.
Neither is first and foremost a political ideology. They don't need to be "backed" by anything except ideological conviction to exist. If actually expressed in the form of physical violence, it doesn't need to be "systematic" to create a victim.
Thus any person can be a victim of racism or sexism. Even white men.
"Reverse" or "inverted" rasism, if we were to analyze it logically, wouldn't be racism of course. But by "adjusted" in this context I mean simply the same old racism, but against an ethnic group that didn't historically experience racism to the same extent that other groups did.
I'm personally white and I've been a victim of racism many times. I'm not by any means a racist. In fact I've been fighting racism against other ethnic groups since I was a child. I hope you can understand and empathize with this. "White men" are not the enemy.
I can understand your viewpoint, and what you're trying to get across here. I can't empathize with it though. I've been a victim of prejudice multiple times, but not a victim of racism, I have benefited from racism inherently because of my skin tone.
White men aren't the enemy? Really? 99.99 percent of the harassment I receive is from straight white men, they're also some of the largest supporters of derogatory terminology today and a historical source of genocidal attacks. See the word that our potty-mouthed friend from earlier likes to use, Subhuman? It's because we're viewed as a threat that needs to be eliminated, and this has repeated itself over history.
You can't empathize with me, but can you sympathize? Do you think violence against white men is wrong in the same way that violence against say black women is wrong or would you rather defend it?
If you're really claiming that white men "are the enemy", then I don't know why I would want to follow or get to know you. That's the same way that our potty-mouthed friend is arguing and as racist and sexist as it gets.
No ammount of historical or current victimhood can excuse being a bigot.
You're just attempting to hide behind the "I don't care as long as I don't have to see it". That's not your actual position, as we've seen in other comments.
I'm also a white straight guy, for your record. You're really just exhasterbating all the issues with racism and gender discrimination that white straight especially male are starting to see now. It's not a joke, but you make it look like one.
If you're using the older definition of freak and not making an ethical/aesthetical judgement based on what is normal, that's fine with me. But right now you more than anyone here is the outlier.
Yes we're talking about a miniority. It's a "freak" number of people, since you like to use that word. Do you think there's moral superiority in being part of the majority? (Just a quick reminder before you answer: Due to your overly quick tempered and hostile behaviour, you're not part of it here)
I get turned off by trans and homosexual behaviour. It (not the people, but the sexual, the organs, or the mix between feminine and masculine looks) disgusts me if I force myself to judge it aestheticaly. So what? I don't harass anyone over a difference in sexual preferences. Being homosexual, trans, etc is not by itself unethical or harmful in any way to any one.
"Flaunting it" could be your attempt at expressing many different things. Is someone "flaunting" in your opinion, just because they're public about it?
Then I say human beings aught to flaunt it more. Not scorn or try to provoke a bitter respones, but be open about who they are. There's nothing worse than willful dishonesty to one self and cowarding to the truth, no matter where or with whom it might be.
Not much of an answer.
Keep it to yourself how; Keep it secret? Don't brag about it? Don't be proud of the inherited or unchangeable facts of nature?
You still have not made an argument.
