A scuba diver gets called a scuba diver
A lorry driver gets called a lorry driver
A beer drinker gets called a beer drinker
So...why can't shirt lifters be called shirt lifters?

And an offensive wanker gets called an offensive wanker.

The things you quote are not offensive. Shirt lifter is a derogate description which is and is intended to be offensive.
My own view is if you can't stand the heat get out of the fire. I am not very sympathetic to the problems of such people and sometimes think the practice is compulsory in certain institutions such as Local Councils etc.

Now yes I am bilingual and I do speak English and Spanish. But I speak American English and Mexican Spanish. Can you provide the American English or Mexican Spanish translation. After all in American English a shirt lifter is someone who steals shirts. And I would find that offensive because I have never stolen a shirt in my life.

Life shirts like stealing shirts? Or lift shirts like lifting them up?
Everyone lifts shirts, unless you wear the same one all the time, you life it up over your head to take it off.
See how ridiculous it is calling someone that? It doesn't even make sense. There is hardly a point in calling someone that, it's not even an insult or a compliment - it's just stupid.

Shirt lifter, bender, queer, f.ag, the list is endless, not offensive to me, I dont care about other people's opinions. My life is completely happy, I'm in a homosexual relationship, 8 wonderful years together, just bought a house together, so who cares what term you use to describe my love, I just don't care.

It's because "shirt lifter" is a 1970's term like "puffta". Today they prefer to be called "bot bandits "or" nob jockey's.".
Mincers nower days are not like the old fashioned "sword swallower's" from years gone by, oh no, today's "chutney ferrets" are much more sensitive.
So please do not go out of your way to offend and leave the poor freak shows alone.

Did you learn this term from Daddy or Uncle?
This term is offensive because of the hateful intent behind the words.
Cowards often dress up little phrases and shout epithets when they are afraid of other people.
What do you have to be afraid of?
