So I just got bitched out for calling someone his name

True enough, but if someone simply changed his name, and you called him by the previous name, someone else wouldn't get all pissed off about it

it would just be calling him his original name

As a matter of fact. They would.

Most people don't discard their names so casually. In most cases, a name change is a big deal, for personal reasons to the person who is changing it.

Dredging up an old wound?

Makes people upset.

the point is that people have this notion that they have to "defend" celebrities

Not really. Most celebrities are garbage anyway. Specially anybody linked to the kardashians. A lot of people are garbage, actually.

Does that mean I go out of my way to aggravate them because of my opinion of them? Or, even slander them even if I don't know them personally?

No. So, really, all this comes down to is simple psychology. You've a stick up your ass about trans people. And therefore, you make an exception for whatever particular reason, to explicitely put a negative light on them in any particular way you're able to.

I don't particularily give a shit to defend a celebrity. And I figure most, or some, don't either. But, we're all people.

Why single others out?

And, second.

A few weeks ago you made a thread that was getting all pissy about the attention this person was generating. Bitching and whining about it being irritating to you.

And now, funny enough.

You're generating more attention to the topic at hand. Even going so far as to keep the topic in your own head by specifically reffering to them by their original name.

Call me out if you like Class.

But you should get that shit checked out man. You've a borderline obssesion with transexuals.

Well split my dick and call me Caitlyn

More of an annoyance than an obsession.

Which brings up a point I was waiting to say. When people are confronted with something that annoys them. Or irritates them. Or, in general, just bugs the shit out of them, they've a few choices at hand.

Focusing on it. Or not focusing on it.

Any normal functioning human being would most likely, generally not focus on the annoyance and continue on with their life. But, a bored person with nothing else in their sights, going nowhere, takes a look at negative things, and suddenly, focuses on them.

And let me tell you.

That will eat you alive.

Smoke some pot and take shit easy class. Don't get trapped and surrounded by shit you hate or dislike.

all I have is alcohol

my dealer is a bitch

but I mean it doesn't hurt to focus on the negative, especially when you're bored. Like, what's the harm? Negative things aren't always exempt from criticism.
