    Serious answer: Anyone who identifies as one.

    I literally can’t pin it down more than that as there are exceptions to every rule. Same goes for a man.

      No. While people have the freedom to call themselves whatever they want, I also reserve my own freedom to call them whatever the f*** I want. It works both ways. At least it should.

        You can call anyone what you want. You have that freedom like anyone else. Like everyone else you can be considered a extremely rude and not nice if you dead name or miss gender.

        what is a singer? a runner? a painter? Do I have to win a marathon to be runner, or can I be a runner and run a mile a week at 5mph? If you see me running that mile, am I not “the runner over there?”

        Regarding your own freedom, if someone says “My name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz, Lizzie, Liza, Eliza… just not Beth please,” and you go “Ok BETH.” - yeah, that’s your freedom to do that, you’re still an asshole.

          I should be able to call a man in dress a man, without any legal consequences. Snowflakes simply shouldn’t be able to terrorize others.

        And everyone else has the right to think you’re a prick and cut you out of their lives.

              That we must comply with everybody’s whims and thus let men beat women in female categories of sports, allow doctors to maim kids just because they think they’re trans, and a lot of similar crap.

                  No, I meant the Algerian boxer, specifically. But there should be limits to prevent freaks from wreaking havoc.

                    Those “limits” are litterally being used to disenfranchise biological women, including the algerian boxer you mention…

                So you think trans people are icky and don’t understand what’s going on.

                Have you ever talked to a trans person? You should try educating yourself on the subject instead of rejecting a whole group of people based on vague feelings. There are no men in women’s sports and children are not usually subject to gender affirming surgery.

                  Man, telling people what to do should be illegal. You should study more because I said so.

                  There are no men in women’s sports and children are not usually subject to gender affirming surgery.

                  Bro, you should read your own comments before blatantly lying.

                    I’m not telling you what to do, I’m suggesting what you should do. Because you condemn people for things you don’t seem to comprehend.

                    There are no men in women’s sports. Trans women are not men. You don’t get to compete in pro sports as a trans person without HRT, after which trans women don’t have a statistical advantage over cis women athletes. You make it sound like I, a cis man, could just declare myself a woman and go for it. That is not how any of it works.

                    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33288617/

                    There is little to none gender affirming surgery performed on children no matter what rage bait “news” outlets might claim:

                    There is no woke agenda other than letting people live their lives in peace.
