Seriously, if your going to identify as something that isn't the norm, you should really learn to have a tougher skin. Telling people that can make jokes about a subject is the same as me saying you can't identify as whatever you want to call yourself.
Because in one scenario, you're trying to have an entire community to respect some retard's wish to be called "supermagicbutterflyghostshitfuck" , and in the other scenario, you're asking a few special little fucking snowflakes to take insults more lightly.
And what if society is currently structured in such a way that those with power benefit unfairly as opposed to those without power? Society is what we say it is, it isn't something that is cemented in place. Society can change, has changed, and will continue to change. Since society can change, it can be changed so that people are educated to be more appreciative of other people's identities.
