Yes absolutely, and I take a blood sample from each of them for karyotype testing while doing a thorough inspection of their genitals.

Any more daft questions?

So is it a problem to use the "wrong" pronouns for someone or not? You take people at their word on their gender every day. Why go out of your way to fret about what you call people only when they tell you they're trans?
You know we're people right?

Sorry to interrupt your slapfight about me, but you do know transgender people are... people... right?

Like we're not just abstract things for you to argue about on the internet. I have blood. And feelings. And goals. And dreams.

It's so bizarre to see people talk about people like me like this, like you've never actually interacted with one of us.

Like we're some kind of philosophical concept or something.

It's weird.

I don't expect compassion or self-reflection out of a green name on the orange site, but I felt the need to say this for some reason.

Have a nice rest of your argument.
