Can We Be Too Accepting?

I recently watched a video called "College Kids Say the Darndest Things: On Identity". It was very interesting to watch and listen to people's reaction as the guy interviewed and asked people questions.  He started out with asking people on a college campus how they would feel he told them that he was a women. All of them were very supportive which is not surprising, but then he asked what would you say if I was Chinese? They were definitely more hesitate to answer this question but still had the attitude of "you do you". The questions kept getting more and more specific and more ridiculous, finally ending with "what would you say if I was a 6'7" Chinese woman? Being an averaged height white man, the obvious answer is no you are not. But once again the people that were interviewed continued on saying that he could be that if he wanted to. It was super interesting to watch people struggle with telling him that he wasn't. It was seriously so funny to me and frankly kinda sad. Are we really so scared to offend people that we can't even tell people that they clearly are not 6'7" when they really are 5 feet?

Although I feel like we should be sensitive to people's feeling, I think people are starting to take this to the extreme. We should not have to accommodate to every single person who "feels" they are something else that they are not. Just because a man thinks he is seven years old, that does not mean that he should be allowed to be in a class room with seven year olds. Not only does this create problems for the man, but also the children. Their relationships with adults could be altered in result of something like this happening. People think they are doing no harm to no one by completely changing themselves, but in reality they are changing society.
