"Identifies and presents."

If there's ever any confusion or doubt, just ask how someone identifies and/or what their preferred pronouns are. This isn't difficult to grasp.


Just the other day, I saw a man dressed as a woman at the gym. I can say with a great deal of certainty that no one was confused about his identity. Unfortunately, it is impossible for this man to pass himself off as a woman. We really need third, fourth, and maybe fifth categories to accurately capture this sort of situation.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. A man acting as a woman isn't a woman, but a man acting as a woman. That's a unique situation that requires its own category. "Woman" means something very specific in English, we don't need to forcibly rewrite the dictionary in some mistaken effort to reinvent the wheel.

Okay, and how exactly does it affect you personally if someone chooses to identify differently than their ASAB?

Because people are trying to live their truth as they know it, and you suggest the creation of a handful of new genders based on your own subjective opinion. So, how does it affect you personally if someone chooses to identify and present as a male or female? Why not just let people live however they want with regards to this topic?

We are all trying to live the truth as we know it. Should your truth supersede mine?

I didn't see a single person intercede and prevent the man in my gym from exercising with a skirt on, aren't we already at the place we want to be?

When it comes to my life personally, my truth does supersede yours. I'm a cisgender male and identify that way.

Yes. So in your own words, stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
