    And I think it’s worth making respect and compassion of others a higher priority then pedantically reminding them about their current or at-birth genitals and/or chromosomes.

    I mean, even if you have an irrefutable philosophical/logical argument about how it is WRONG to accept trans-ness, I think I’m still just going to be nice to the people I meet, and treat them how they would like to be treated.

      Ok, well I want you to treat me like I’m a god. I’ve always felt that way since birth and this human shit feels really displacing.

        You’re not being asked to treat anyone special, you’re being ask to treat them like people. If the way you treat women is vastly different than the way you treat men because you see them as merely objects to fuck then you are an asshole.

          No, this is asking for special treatment 100%. I treat literally all people with a facade to keep them away. Literally nobody can make me address them in any special way.

            There’s nothing special about addressing someone as “her”, that’s just normal every day communication.

                And how do you determine if it’s true?

                Someone created a Cis or Trans Quiz with 25 pictures: https://uquiz.com/quiz/ACfqeR

                My Results: https://uquiz.com/Result/static/lite/ACfqeR/4866525/scored/68?&s=4adba41d-150b-4d50-9b6f-93817a24ca47

                It takes less than 5 minutes, feel free to link your perfect score (Note how only 78 people scored higher than 90%). Otherwise your only options to determine if it’s “true” would be insisting on seeing their genitals, making you a sex offender, or to take them at their word.

                  It’s true when it’s true and a picture can look like anything. I’m not interested in your game. I value honesty and there’s too much actually wrong in the world for me to care about anyone’s genital obsession.

                    So when someone says to you they are a woman, how do you determine if you refer to them with feminine pronouns?
