In that case though, there is at least a fact to work with. I'm not arguing that we use female pronouns. I certainly wouldn't want anyone feeling diminished (other than...the person in question). But I really not convinced yet that this person is trans, or irish, or living in his car, or whatever else he's said. Since we really can't know anything concrete about each other in fandom, as soon as you start deliberately, demonstrably lying about EVERYTHING, it all comes up for question.
Yeah, I know, but as I said to Ash, I don't think that any of us get to decide whether thanfiction is an Acceptable Transperson. There is SO MUCH wrong with this whole thing that, you know, let's just use the pronoun he wants us to use and be done with that part of it.
Yeah, that's the crux of the argument that I was trying to make. I truly don't care what he himself wants. I care what other transfolks think of us by our actions.

But yeah, I take your point. Actually I saw we do what other transfolks want rather than what he wants. :/
