Why do you care how I spell my name? Why do you care how someone identifies themself? Both of those are super personal ways that someone puts out their identity, their who they are. It doesn't do anything to me to respect someone's wishes as to how they want to be named or gendered. Why not respect that?

You can change your name if you want, like you can change your clothes. It is not materially hardcoded in you. Gender however is hardcoded, in the genes. The genes decide what you are, its no choice.
They want others to ignore this rational. Its a direct affront to medical science. You do not choose to have an X and an Y chromosome, or two X chromosomes. You have what your fathers sperm cell and your mothers egg cell negotiated you to have. There is no switching back and forth.
You can only soco-culturally interprete your
genetically determined role. Different cultures and eras may define masculinity and feminity by different social norms. But the gender crowd today insists on hardware playing no role and gender not being determined by genes, but taste and choice. That is hilarious. And a frontal assault on the meaning of science.
And nature itself. Because we are heterosexual a species. And that is of evolutionary relevance both for our past and our future.
I could claim that by my inner feeling i am a fish. Nevertheless i will find it difficult to breathe underwater. And when i start to try that and almost drown, chances are that i am rightfully diagnosed with having mental issues.
