what is a singer? a runner? a painter? Do I have to win a marathon to be runner, or can I be a runner and run a mile a week at 5mph? If you see me running that mile, am I not "the runner over there?"
Regarding your own freedom, if someone says "My name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz, Lizzie, Liza, Eliza... just not Beth please," and you go "Ok BETH." - yeah, that's your freedom to do that, you're still an asshole.
You can call anyone what you want. You have that freedom like anyone else. Like everyone else you can be considered a extremely rude and not nice if you dead name or miss gender.
So you think trans people are icky and don't understand what's going on.
Have you ever talked to a trans person? You should try educating yourself on the subject instead of rejecting a whole group of people based on vague feelings. There are no men in women's sports and children are not usually subject to gender affirming surgery.
No doubt. People do this shit even without rape plans. Either they think it's funny or someone pissed them off so they decided to ruin their night or perhaps their life.
My friend got dosed in Denver and ended up with multiple charges due to his behavior. He had two drinks at a bar, left, then did insane things that can't be explained by just being shitfaced.

Whenever you next attend a wedding, watch how many women take their drinks with them to the dance floor. That's the threat environment women live in every day
My wife came home one night, hammered. OK. Fuck me, she drove home?! Not proud to say, but we drank and drove a lot in those days, got a hotel or cab if we were smashed.
Next day she doesn't remember a thing but having a second drink at the bar with the girls. Nothing else. C'mon! Could hardly believe it, chewed her out for driving drunk, she insisted she only had 2 or 3 drinks. Bullshit. Takes more than a couple of drinks for us to black out. Hell, we never got that drunk.
She got to talking to her friends that were regulars at that bar. Regulars who had the same bar tender. Same exact experiences. You add it up.
She wouldn't report it. Because what are you going to report exactly?
Having said all this, that's my only story on the subject. And I've done a lot of sketchy shit, ran with sketchy people. Date rape drugs are not as common as you might think. But they are indeed a thing.
Oh, it's surprisingly common. There are even occasional bursts of people cutting out the middle-person and going for directly injecting people on the dance floor
It's scary out there
(and don't drive drunk kids; you're risking innocent lives because you're too cheap to get a cab. Not a good look)
"Date drugs" are super common and easy to buy. Psychopaths that actually use them on unconsenting people, fortunately not very common. But common enough thst I would never leave my drink unattended.
In logic, finding a case where a statement isn't true is a very common and correct way to disprove that statement. So the proposition that "a woman has xx chromosomes and is born with a vagina", would actually be logically disproved by the counter-examples you bring up.
Thanks, I do try my hardest to act the insufferable cunt on here, so seeing people act like my reply was somehow clever and original (it wasn't, I've just seen it used before) was a bit of a surprise.

Serious answer: Anyone who identifies as one.
I literally can't pin it down more than that as there are exceptions to every rule. Same goes for a man.

Man, telling people what to do should be illegal. You should study more because I said so.
Bro, you should read your own comments before blatantly lying.

Leaving your drink unattended in public spaces is a terrible idea in general.

Why would they cover their drinks? I don't get it @-@
