    I don’t fully understand. Can you give a concrete example? Like you meet someone who seems like a woman to you, they say they’re a man, and you’re like, “no, no, you’re a woman, I reject your self identification of being a man”?

      I don’t see you as less of a person, I don’t see you as a bother, I don’t see you as challenging to my views or, a shock at all, really.

      I guess the cold hard truth is that I just don’t care.

      If you wear your gender as your first, most outstanding personality trait, it doesn’t speak much for the rest of you.

      Do I care if you keep it up, don’t stop and tell everyone you know? Have at it.

      It’s just not my business. It’s not important in the grand scheme of whether or not you’re an asshole. Your shoe size is more indicative of who you are, to me, anyway.

          I recognize the concepts of feminine and masculine and the blends of both, but I suppose that just doesn’t tell me a lot about who you are, how you are, what your interests are or your life.

          I could ponder stereotypes, get an idea for who you are based on telling me you’re trans, but listen to how that sounds.

          Would you want me to have an idea about you from one word, without even knowing you?

        Huh. I was going to write my own reply but I will defer to your argument, it perfectly encapsulates how I see it too, no notes.
