Saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes isn't forcing your religion on anybody. It's like yelling "Goddammit!" when you step in dog poo. It's a conditioned reflex.
Just comparing the frustration level of each.
Awesome Possum is coming after you, I would bet money on that.
You keep dancing around the issue instead of just speaking plainly, which is somehow almost worse than just being openly bigoted. but it's obvious that you are referring to transgender women using the women's restroom by the fact that you keep referring to it as "shoving belief." Comparing women who have never attacked or harmed anyone while using the restrooms that conform to their identity to pedophiles is ignorant and offensive, as is bringing it into a silly innocuous thread like this. Don't do it again.
You, too
No, the only ones forcing their religious beliefs on others are the ones trying to deny transgender women the right to use the restrooms that conform to their gender identity based on nothing but ignorance and bigotry. This isn't a religious issue for transgender women, it's a basic human decency and safety and survival question, since they do experience sexual assault and violence and even murder at the hands of men.
Or when someone really IS talking to you and you ignore them because you thing they are on their phone!I find it frustrating when people are on their blue-tooth, talking to air, then get upset
when you think they're talking to you.

Oh dear no I don't feel that's the same thing at all. I mean just someone trying to empathize with me and show emotional support? Like I'm going for a surgery and my friend says she's praying for me, well I don't feel it'll actually change things but I know what she means is that she's thinking about me and hoping everything goes okay, and there's really nothing more she can do so I'm not going to throw that back in her face, that'd just be cruel?
I tend to go with the motivation too. Like if someone is religious and they have sourced something of importance to them be it a prayer or blessing then it comes from them wanting to project something of value they hold dear onto another. Say someone is a believer in magik or another form of spirituality and they offer me a spell. I know they care even if it is not my belief system. In some small part and this may be opening a can of worms I weigh up good manners too. Like if a man steps aside for me. Is he being sexist or just polite? I open doors for other people in general if I get there first! It's a tricky world we live in where we override our intuition sometimes.
