I can see it being really difficult to tell where curiosity ends and harassment begins, so I can see why some of the more aggressive (aka clickbait worthy) transgender people seem intolerant sometimes.
And skin colour to the degree of black or white is not organically fluid. I could see where you might use that kind of logic for your nationality if you live in Taiwan for years, contribute to it, love it, and ****, but not with race, so take it from the king of ****ty analogies when I say that's a ****ty analogy.

It's like, the thing I tell juggalos all the time. You idolize grown men who paint their faces and rap about their balls, you have to expect some kind of harassment. Don't take yourself too seriously. You're a person who doesn't identify with a gender or feels they are the wrong gender or what ever. You have to expect people to call you by your physical gender. We can spend all day being nice and trying to understand or giving in to the idea that this person doesn't want to be called this or that but at what point is anybody taking the time to understand why somebody would have a problem with that? You're trying to force your perception of who you are onto others and at that point you're just begging others to validate your identity for you. You can't do that. It's like, okay, you identify as a male even though you have the body of a female. You can do that. That's fine. But why do I have to identify you as something I don't see you as. You can see me as a 'harry ****' for that but I don't see me as a harry ****. I personally don't see the difference between race identity and gender identity either. Both race and gender have their own cultures. And to be more specific each races gender has it's own culture. If you could point out an actual difference go ahead. I don't see one.
Edit: It's not like I go out of my way to harass these people and I'll typically call them what ever but at some point it starts to bother me. Like, am I really being open minded and non bigoted or am I just feeding into somebody's delusion?
