Re: The last comments before lockdown...
It's like how a person who feels they're a male in a woman's body shouldn't be treated as an ambiguous gender - they're male. Gender is, in the end, a personal and social construct. I'd be offended if someone insisted on calling my friend Timm (genetically female) either "she" OR "xe", because he's male, and I think that came out in my very failed attempt at an apology.
