I like to ask them, "what's wrong with other girls?" and make a really hurt-looking face.

Lol I've honestly only had a chance to do it once so far, but her response was basically just "Oh I didn't say anything was wrong with them, I just don't ID/feel like a girl".

Follow up with "what does it feel like to be a girl, then? What is there about gender to identify with?"

Maybe one day these people will realize how deeply they worship sexist stereotypes, even as they claim to reject them.

Oh, I'll definitely follow up more if this happens again. Those are excellent questions, and I ask TRAs these questions online often. I'm still on reddit, as I can't get rid of the itch to tell these people about themselves lol. They get so angry when I tell them that gender is mostly sexist stereotypes.

I like that a lot. I am going to try that.
