If people doin't care then why is it any trouble for them to refer to her as "she"?
I could argue that it is no problem calling a dog a cat or a tree a fridge and as indifferent as I would be to this I think it impractical.
I may have a multitude of different reasons for wanting to identify things as to how they make sense to me and fall into my perception of the world that has no reflection on whether someone has now identified as a particular gender.
Does it necessarily mean it bothers me, upsets me, subjects my mind to sleepless ponderings, or that it is easier and fits into my perception?
If someone here was to identify themselves publicly as a psychic, a gay, an activist, a radical separatist, a Mormon, a werewolf, would not care. Why would identifying with any of these things rock my boat and why ought I have to change my dealings with anyone based on how a person identifies with themselves?
What matters to me is what is inside. I don't care for the titles and what not people want to affix to themselves.
I told you once before Soph, you have a pretty good handle on you and what and whom you are. I think of you as Soph. Not Soph the bloke or Soph the girl or Soph who is 5'8" or Soph the Pom or Soph the pet owner or Soph the Uni student or whatever. Sure I know these things about
you but I judge you on what you write and on your interactions here. Mostly they are good and often insightful.
What little investment I have in you comes from what and how you post.
