Calling someone something that they consider an insult or that doesn’t apply to them is something people don’t like. Even without bringing gender into it. Calling someone a geek or a Christian or a metal head or literally anything that they feel doesn’t discribe them or even more so something that they feel is exactly the opposite of them.

So big deal if people don't like it. Most of us have gotten called names and descriptors that we are not throughout the course of our lives, and yet we've managed to survive just fine. In fact, such experiences have helped us to develop resilience and a stronger sense of ourselves - and taught us to have a sense of humor, to be easy-going, to practice humility, and to work on our verbal parrying skills too. Such experiences have also taught us that we are not the boss of the world with the right and power to control other people.

I really wonder what kind of family, community, neighborhood, school background, religion and cultural milieu you grew up in where everybody has the right and power to dictate how everyone else perceives them, describes them and addresses them - and where everyone is so thin-skinned, so non-resilient and so unsure of who they really are inside that they can't cope with being called "a geek, a Christian, a metal head or literally anything [else] that they feel doesn't describe them or even more so something that they feel is exactly the opposite" of who/how they believe themselves to be. Did you not have any siblings? Playmates growing up? Friends and intimates? Didn't you know anyone with views very different to yours but with whom you learned to get along with anyways?

At minimum it’s putting a label on my I disagree with and consider an insult. I’m secure in my identity but that doesn’t mean I’m happy to be referred to by things that are incompatible with that identity.

But I've seen you insult others, especially women, quite a bit. How do you rationalize the disrespect you show other people with the respect you demand of them/us?

Please explain why people have to respect other people's chosen "identity" when that identity not only has no basis in objective fact, but it stands in opposition to what is verifiably true by objective standards.

Also, I don't understand how it is that so many males who wish they were women and claim to be women have no idea that getting called names we don't like and that are insulting and dehumanizing happens to girls and women throughout our lives. If you really were "secure in your identity" as you've now claimed you are, then it seems logical to think you'd know that getting mischaracterized comes with the territory of being regarded as a girl/woman. And you'd know that women are routinely mischaracterized in ways that go beyond being inoffensively inaccurate - as when someone who isn't a geek, Christian or metal head is referred to as such - and which are deeply belittling, disgustingly dehumanizing and thoroughly demonizing.
