There are fewer and fewer every day who would disagree with that statement, and one who would be able to speak from any place of authority.Great.Why is it that whenever everybody says something that seems to be supportive, they always have to follow it with a comma, a but, and some kind of absurd statement that betrays their unwillingness to treat other human being with a shred of decency or respect because it might somehow inconvenience them, slightly?"Hey, here's that new friend I've been telling you about. He plays-""Actually, I prefer she.""Oh, I'm sorry, my bad. She runs a 5e game on Friday nights!"I fail to understand how this is either unreasonable or impossible. It's actually quite easy to treat people the way they wish to be treated. All that it takes is actually caring to. Which reminds me...There, that's fixed.I'm also struggling to understand how a woman presenting as a woman, wearing what would traditionally be considered "womens'" clothing, and asking to be called a woman, could possibly fall outside anyone's common comprehension of the phrase "woman; nothing more, nothing less" unless they were abnormally concerned about the shape and manner of a person's genitalia, both currently and at birth. But that strikes me as rather unreasonable to expect of the average person.</blockquote>
