It's pretty telling how you can't seem to apply this standard of objectivity equally. Do you have objective evidence for denying this person the right to identify any way that they wish? If not then kindly look at the objective evidence for the increased rates of assault, sexual assault, and murder perpetrated against trans individuals and the resulting increase in suicide rates. It's about as clear as you can get where the harm and wrong is in this equation.
I have never said that anyone should be denied the right to identify any way they wish. In fact I've said very clearly that I support trans people and their right to choose.
I have also said that crime against them, as against anyone, is bad.
So I don't think I'm applying the standard of objectivity unequally.
