A very rude behavior indeed.I don't know who is a trans man and who isn't, because I do not ask, and do not care, about anybody's 'gender identity'. I don't care about your star sign, either, and do not ask for it, and will change the subject if you bring it up.Playing games? Let me answer it:
"I don't see any need to point out for anyone else that a man is a trans-man"
You wish to point out that a man is a trans man and was born "a woman" by whatever standard.
Oh, you very much can. It relies on a very simple incantation that I can perhaps teach you. The words of it go "Hello, my name is <your name here>, and my pronouns are He/Him."I cannot see somebody's internal thought processes.
Then an event will magically happen in the event that their internal thought process was not so obvious to you: waves of energy will fly across the air at you and a part in your skull will vibrate with those waves of energy and you will then be given the insight you lack.
...But, I have access to my own.
Unagreed premise of definition.Also, your example is incoherent. If somebody is a trans-man, they are by definition male.
Perhaps you do lack such powers as I have described to form together such powerful utterances as would give you such insights.You are again relying on the absurd idea that I have magickal divination powers that are available only to chosen ones.
This is not the religious belief. The religious belief is "that it matters in contexts where it does not, and that you have a right to out people".What is religious about my idea that sex is a material reality and that mammals cannot change sex?I would stand insult to the idea of sex in the very first place! Your religious belief that it matters in contexts where it does not, and your religious belief that you have the right to our people.
It's in quotes because you are the only one between us who accepts your definitions, so as to reject your basic fundamental premises, even as I reject the conclusions you draw from them also from faulty lines of reasoning.There is no shame in being born male, and being male doesn't need scare quotes.Yes, observing that someone was born "male" by whatever standard you wish to use at the moment may be tantamount to pointing at them and proclaiming before all and sundry that they have pissy pants.
...That you cannot understand this is exactly the reason we are where we are at this moment.
You keep wanting to avoid the reality that the thing you wish to tell everyone about others that you see is an outing. That you cannot see the general principle that binds all these examples I put before you astounding.
That you think you have some general principle is indeed astounding.
