Ok, well I want you to treat me like I'm a god. I've always felt that way since birth and this human shit feels really displacing.
You're not being asked to treat anyone special, you're being ask to treat them like people. If the way you treat women is vastly different than the way you treat men because you see them as merely objects to fuck then you are an asshole.
No, this is asking for special treatment 100%. I treat literally all people with a facade to keep them away. Literally nobody can make me address them in any special way.
There's nothing special about addressing someone as "her", that's just normal every day communication.
Only when it's true.
And how do you determine if it's true?
Someone created a Cis or Trans Quiz with 25 pictures: https://uquiz.com/quiz/ACfqeR
My Results: https://uquiz.com/Result/static/lite/ACfqeR/4866525/scored/68?&s=4adba41d-150b-4d50-9b6f-93817a24ca47
It takes less than 5 minutes, feel free to link your perfect score (Note how only 78 people scored higher than 90%). Otherwise your only options to determine if it's "true" would be insisting on seeing their genitals, making you a sex offender, or to take them at their word.
It's true when it's true and a picture can look like anything. I'm not interested in your game. I value honesty and there's too much actually wrong in the world for me to care about anyone's genital obsession.
So when someone says to you they are a woman, how do you determine if you refer to them with feminine pronouns?
Nobody I work with has enough money to take up a doctor's time with their sex fantasy and everyone else I don't care to talk to.
and we all appreciate your service. Unfortunately you're talking to me right now and you can only take my word that I'm a male.
Isn't it funny how I don't need to refer to your gender for literally any other reason than to affirm your bullshit? I have absolutely zero to do with your gender. Names are fine. Fuck your categories.
Isn't it funny how your opinion on the subject literally doesn't matter at all? You've made it clear that you only ever talk to people you work with, which explains why you're an antisocial incel. If, as you say, you will never actually interact with a potential trans person in your life then your trash opinion literally does not matter to anyone.
You just wanted to let everyone know you're a closed minded bigot, and we heard you the first time.
You clearly don't understand what an incel is. They're trying to get laid. I'm not, and won't.
Right, that's why you being a "straight male" is so important to this discussion that it's the first thing you brought up.
I may be wrong about incel because I don't know if you can call it involuntary when you're choosing to be abhorrent, but at least we agree on antisocial closed minded bigot.
