This is the crux of this self-definition "issue" that TWM appeals to. He may or may not accept your self-definition, but he cannot do a damned thing about it except persecute you using the law. And that's a really shitty use of the law, given that here in America -- which he claims to love -- guarantees all, under the 14th Amendment, equal treatment.
There's also the fact that you might be able to change the landscape of my face, as so many bigots would love to do to those they hate, but punches don't change minds. TWM and his ilk are at the point where they must enact violence to enact their views, or abrogate the law that they claim to support.
