How delusional can you get? Honestly, I am fine with calling trans women trans women. But they will never know what it is completely like to be a woman, and it is the same thing with trans men and men. and THIS is why I have a huge problem with the modern movement, and non with say trans activists in the 70s, 80s and 90s. They understood that they may feel like they were born in the wrong body and may have a very atypical personality, but they didn't pretend they were no different then regular men and women~

This. I have zero interest in insisting to call any trans woman a trans identified male and use male pronouns. I save this for the fraudsters, sex offenders etc. because it's important to not let them muddy statistical data and enter facilities were they endanger women. If a trans woman just wants to live her life in peace and quite: happy to use her chosen name and female pronouns. Just like I don't refer to somebody who changed their last name in marriage with their old name or to anybody who changed his or her name for any other reason. I would not change any part of my name and have not done so when marrying but that does not mean I cannot respect a different choice.

I do however draw the line as using my mental bandwith to remember made up pronouns, call myself "cis" or pretent that TWAW. And I will not help abusers and criminals to hide behind the word and identity "woman" when they are very clearly typical male abusers/criminals.
