Anyone can decide what gender they feel like. Most people identify with one of the major genders, but many people don't for multiple possible biological reasons. Nobody is in good faith identifying as a gender they don't actually feel like.
Sure. If you define the word gender as identifying what you feel like, then it makes sense from that perspective. If I felt like my gender is someone who feels like a cat, that would be my gender then.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you had a genuine question, but I now feel that was a mistake.
It was a genuine question, and I listened to your opinion. My own opinion differs from your own. This happens sometimes in conversations. To me, that doesn't mean that we need to leave the discussion or downvote eachother. :)
The thing is, these conversations usually go the same way. People like yourself try to step in and guide people who ask questions. And if they don't 100% share your own opinion, then you feel it's a waste of time. And also you think you know me. I must be a troll. Right?
It's a bit funny, you have to admit. Online discussions are not sniper battles. Or they shouldn't be.
Maybe I have a different point of view on this because of my own upbringing and my own experiences. Seems pretty likely, no? And maybe one comment online will not change all of that in an instant. Also makes sense, no?
So just relax... We don't have to fight online. I promise.
Everyone on here is stupid and wrong.
