Lots of use of the word "Bigot" in this thread.....and allegations of "bigotry".

That is a pretty mean thing to do shy of direct evidence to base such address upon.

From Merriam's

Bigot

: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
Blacks Law Dictionary


Condescending, superior and intolerant mentality with regard to others, frequently used in conjunction with racism.
Why can folks not simply disagree without being disagreeable especially when discussing/debating complex issues?

Is not "intolerance" itself a symptom of bigotry?

Anthropology is defined as "The scientific study of the origin, the behavior, and the physical, social, and cultural development of humans.".

Recent thought in that field of study has begun to differentiate between Gender and Gender Identity which seems a shift from the traditional determination of Gender by bone structure.

How. much you want to bet there are disagreements for and against that shift amongst anthropologists?
