The probability that anyone can say or do anything and not offend anyone are exactly 0. In order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive.

No, it is much better to just be as honest as I can, offensive or not. Because the alternative is to remain silent, which only serves those without my best interests in mind.

Besides, I doubt you were concerned about offending me with your jab at my inappropriate use of the term transgender. Here I go laying out my beliefs on a topic, along with my reasoning that has led to those beliefs, and you respond with a smugnorant correction to my terminology? One might say that is kind of a dick move. I am only returning the sentiment.
