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?

Simple. There are two sexes. There is no "other", at least not with humans.

Why not respect that?

You're asking me to respect foolishness, delusion, silliness. That's too much. They should respect my belief that there are two and only two sexes. Respect science!
