And if they aren’t speaking about you? If we acknowledge say, Jazz Jennings as male, that’s fine?

Male and man aren’t the same thing, but again do what you want. I’m telling you man is an insult to trans women not telling you what to do with that information.

They are the same thing. Your interpretation is not universal. Your feelings are not the feelings of all transwomen.

A healthy consensus of trans women would agree trans women aren’t men at least . I personally do consider myself male (but not a man )while many trans women wouldn’t.

But you’ll speak for and over those who don’t. A healthy consensus of everyone else would agree that male and man are the same. That consensus would be far larger. Why are we all wrong about not sharing your subjective belief system?

You don’t have to share our beliefs to not insult us. Just because a straight person might not consider fag an insult to gay people, just a discriptor. But that doesn’t mean gay men need to have friendly discourse with someone calling them a fag.

Terms like “fag” are not descriptors. Man and male are. You’re comparing apples and oranges.

I would be just as offended by being called either.

So? Your personal feelings aren’t universal.

I never claimed they were, but insults have a subjective element.
