I am Hitler would have been more apt.

My favorite authority on the matter argues it takes more than just someone's feelings about their identity for them to reasonably expect to be treated as the gender with which they identify.

It's not as though one can really insist on being treated as a particular gender in most circumstances anyway. Society is going to use the signals a person presents and respond accordingly.

You gonna name your authority? I'd like to have a word with them about their skills, or lack thereof, in explaining that the 'signals a person presents' include the audible.

I demand that you address me as 'Napoleon'.

You MAY address me 'Your Majesty' or 'Your Highness'.

So...I guess the Beef Wellington would be a resounding NO for dinner, then?

Are you sure this thread title shouldn't be "I am Drunk"?

^Up your medication, "your Majesty".

Thanks for reminding me, doctor.

I understand I have to take medication from the time of my transformation until the day I die.

I'm handsome, aren't I?—

In a psychiatrist's waiting room two patients are having a conversation. One says to the other, "Why are you here?".

The second answers, "I'm Napoleon, so the doctor told me to come here."

The first is curious and asks, "How do you know that you're Napoleon?"

The second responds, "God told me I was."

At this point, a patient on the other side of the room shouts, "NO I DIDN'T!"

Beethoven was very good on audibility.

He said I was SO marvellous that he would write a symphony about me—

Wonderful! N'est-ce pas?

I think if you really want to undermine transgendered people's thoughts on being trans, you ought to address those thoughts charitably, but not like this.

 

[pat grimshaw]

... people's thoughts..

My identity is my personal sense of my own identity.


The United Nations tells me I may declare the personal sense of my own identity—

The European Court tells me I may declare the personal sense of my own identity——

The Canadian Court tells me I may declare the personal sense of my own identity. And, furthermore everyone is LEGALLY BOUND to address me as my identity.

I understand all scofflaws have so far remained free at large.

 

[Thad1527]

It's just common courtesy to call people by the names they would like to be called.

For example, me.

All my life I was called by a nickname. Until sixth grade. There was another student with the same nickname. I guess he was more worthy...I got called by my given name, which I had never used before.

From there through high school, it was like I wasn't myself.

In college I returned to the name I loved and have kept it ever since.

So, yes, I'll call you by your name.

 

[pat grimshaw]

...So, yes, I'll call you by your name.

Thank you, Thad. I'm Napoleon

I understand all scofflaws have so far remained free at large.

Sensible men are right to scoff at silly laws drawn up by tut-tutting, Virtue-Signalling Fusspots.

My friend, Louis-Michel le Peletier, drew up a new criminal code which outlawed true crimes but ignored silly offences created by superstition and SJW nonsense. Therefore, no rules forbidding 'blasphemy' and man-to-man-sex.

My favorite authority on the matter argues it takes more than just someone's feelings about their identity for them to reasonably expect to be treated as the gender with which they identify.

It does, for trans people. That's why 'I' statements about gender go hand-in-hand with gendered social cues, but I statements don't rest on (and are considerably more important) than the gender expectations people keep shuffling around to disinclude. But for guessing pronouns & such, yeah, by all means take into account presentation.

But all 'self-gendered statements combined with gendered cues' describe is an expectation of other's behavior produced by stimulus given. It's self evident. It's also just peachy, so long as oddly gendered cues aren't being considered more important than the 'I' statements.

Because I statements are argued as the definer for the gender validity of someone who isn't trans, is the thing. Which I'm pretty sure means that "it takes more than just someone's feelings about their identity for them to reasonably expect to be treated as the gender with which they identify" isn't being applied to everyone in an equal manner. There's even a code in social etiquette that's used when people fuck up your pronouns. It's a combo of correction & occasionally receiving a quick apology and then moving on. It's only when someone thinks 'trans' that people scoot on over to 'I couldn't possibly take them at their gendered word.'

So while I completely agree it takes both an I statement and cues for expected behavior received, I find the 'judgement call for pronouns & such' to be often handled in a ...very 'one way' fashion.

 

[luckynumbah7]

-and the italicization on feelings was mine, obviously. But since feelings about something are shown by self proclamatory statements it seemed appropriate to note an I statement's specific inclusion if we're discussing reasonable expectation & knowing the gender to refer to someone by. That trans people need to match at least a little to get gendered correctly on a decent average isn't an unreasonable expectation. But it's not meant to be taken in a 'look to unspoken gendered behavior for a litmus test' kind've way as a contrast to Grimshaw's 'lookit me, I'm a dick' pantomimery.
