That's exactly the point. If someone's "gender identity" doesn't refer any observable characteristic other than their "gender identity", then the entire concept is circularly defined and therefore meaningless. It's like if I were to say my biological height is 5'7" but my "height identity" is 6'3". What meaning does "height identity" have and why should anyone take a concept like this seriously?
- freemint 5y agoBecause you want to reduce suffering in the world. Calling someone putting effort in to presenting a female persona, even though you know there was a penis at birth, her is not that hard but if you purposefully him then you might flare up gender disphoria which is not nice to have. The left and center has decided it is not a joke to call someone who had a penis at birth a her, nobody will laugh at you why are you resisting being courteous?
