The response in his head, which even he will be savvy enough not to post, is certainly “but those are _good things_”.

Excellent post! Well done! I see that the homophobic bigot has yet to respond.

Incidentally, this specimen has already been celebrated in the [Urbanredneck: Trifecta of ignorance](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=838231) thread.

There are so many pit threads to choose from, but I think this is where his contributions in the Elliot Page thread belongs. Urbanredneck, you sad, weird, rock-for-brains man:

That last one doesn’t seem to me homophobic so much as just kind of generally clueless. I’m not seeing urbanredneck expressing an opinion there that there’s something actually wrong with being gay or trans. But he clearly has this naive view that gay or straight, cis or trans, are just simple binary categories that he ought to be able to assign labels to literally on the basic of algebraic rule structures.

No, that’s his schtick, but he’s a bigoted asshole. He deliberately misgenders, ostensibly because he finds it all just confusing. If that were the case, you’d think just by chance he might get it right sometimes, wouldn’t you?

Well, deliberately misgendering is definitely transphobic assholery, no argument there.

And he’s been warned in that thread for trolling. But I still can’t rule out incredible stupidity in his case.
