I entierly agree it is wrong to say your not really gay, or you hate cis men, etc. Its wrong when you say it to someone who isnt trans and is just CIS, and its wrong when you say it to someone who is trans.
I think people are too stuck on sex, and some backwards need to identify people by their sex, as if chromosomes or what genitalia someone has even matters most of the time, it doesnt. Language has always used gender, not sex, to identify how we speak to people, and Id say even how we treat them.
I mean hell, even though im sure most trans people obviously have a different between their natural sex, and their chosen gender there are quite a few who are probably also born intersex where even these sorts of assertions fall short.
In the end, who cares what someones sex is, who cares what genitals they were born with or what chromosomes they have. All you can see is their gender, so treat them according to their gender. Anything else is a douche move and NO ONE has a right to tell someone else if their gender is real or not.

Yup thats my thinking.
More important that is the definition of gender (and has been for hundreds of years). Gender is and always has meant ones presentation of femininity or masculinity. Sex is something different from gender, its your chromosomes and your genitalia.
For trans their sex and their gender are different, but all we should be interacting with, thus what counts, is the gender.

@freemo @masterofthetiger @Surasanji @Elizafox I like this pure presentation-based idea of gender. Unless you plan to bang or create small humans, the genitalia and chromosomes of others should not be your concern.
