Nope. A person with a dick is not a female in my eyes. In reality a person with a dick is a male. Or a shemale. Or a hermaphrodite. I have yet to be given any kind of logical explanation or facts as to why I should think other wise.
And yes, I will address people by what gender they prefer most of the time out of politeness and the fear of making somebody feel unwelcome. But to tell me that I'm wrong and ignorant or insensitive or closed minded because I don't see a man with a dick and a beard as a female is ironically and hypocritically closed minded, bigoted and insensitive to me. It's forcing me to validate somebody else's ego by faking or hiding what I believe less I get treated a way that I would NEVER treat any of these people despite one small disagreement. I welcome them wanting to believe they are what ever gender they want but don't get treated with the same respect to believe otherwise. Like, how you dress or what you listen to or your hobby's or sexuality or gender preference does not affect me and I will not treat somebody like they are unwelcome for it. But you can't force me into believing Greenday is a good band. In your perception, they are a good band, in my perception they are a terrible band. I'm not going to call them a good band to fit your feelings. Why should I do that with gender identity? And **** most of you pretending like you care about people's feelings anyways. You're just taking an idea that's shoved down your throat with out questioning it and illogically running with it to fit in with the 'progressive' crowd and create the illusion that you are sensitive. This is shenanigans.
But yeah, I'll call people what gender they prefer. But I won't hide how I feel if it comes up. And I shouldn't be treated like a piece of **** for it.
Also, for DJ, I have a friend who used to literally introduce himself as ******. He used to tell us all to call him ******. That's what he liked to be called. I wouldn't call him that, I don't feel comfortable doing it. Just as I feel uncomfortable calling Batlord a girl. Nah, that's a big harry man. And if Bat changed his name, we'd probably all still call him Batlord. Or Charles. Because that's how WE identify him.
