I didn't see it either because I wasn't looking and don't care about your gender identity. To me your are simply a pleasant,witty and smart personality on a forum,who seems like a decent person. What else do I need to know?
Sadly,in choosing to share that information,you will always come across ignorant dropkicks who will say stupid and hurtful things. Ignore the fools;you have no obligation to defend or explain yourself to others.
When people say "I'm honest and value honesty" they are often lying, deluded or just ignorant.What they mean is "I'm blunt,insensitive and lack empathy". EVERYONE lies,about once every ten minutes,it's only a matter of degree.
People lie. So what? People in general are the sum of all parts, including the lowest common denominators. That has no bearing on Sae or anyone else declaring what they are, for whatever reason. This 'delusion' talk reeks of something foul, as if I can imagine an argument claiming that homosexuality is a delusion. Fact is, someone has associated themself with a group and identifies with it, just like many of us identify as atheists on this here forums. Ignoring who or what someone is because you want to remain pure is, in my humble opinion, "just dumb" and attempts to steer clear of any controversy. Deal with them for who they are. Training tolerance requires that which you are not familiar with.
