I have years of personal experience being female. It's two different worlds. Happy to take any questions.

  No, sorry. I'm definitionally and descriptively female. No one has more authority over who I am than me. Just as you have authority over who you are. I didn't say I was an authority on the female experience; no one is. I am an authority on my own personal experience as female. I'd rather not turn this into a definitions discussion as a way to discredit my experience. I've interacted with hundreds of people who perceive and treat me based on what they and I believe me to be. There is no one outside of myself that can draw a line and say that doesn't count. It really feels like this is turning into a cross-examination rather than curious conversation.

    May I ask how you came to believe you are female? Most transwomen make the distinction between the reality of their sex (male) and what they perceive to be their gender (woman), so I'm curious as to why you've decided to call yourself female.

      I've given myself permission to be my own ontological authority. We could unpack how people tend to view ontological relationships and their propensity to leave reification unexamined. But I believe I'm an active participant in creating my reality and choose to do so for myself as I see fit.

        I see. Would you agree that this is in the same category as people who believe themselves to be some famous historical figure, such as Jesus Christ, even though this self-belief doesn't correspond with any reality external to their own perception?

        Not surprised that you didn't get a response. To sum it up: "I'm a mentally ill man who delusionally believes that I'm a women. I lie to myself and others about my sex/gender by abusing a sophomoric understanding of nihilism."

        Sounds about right. And most likely too, he immerses himself in an echo chamber of other males who believe the same reality-defying nonsense.
