    It does not stop to being called out for a wrong pronoun. The consequences for using words not approved by the woke mob can be very real, like losing a job and being effectively cancelled. When interacting with a transsexual person, I address said person by the pronouns that match the sex that they purport to show off. Doing otherwise would be impolite. On a serious note, though, a man who underwent procedures to appear as a woman is not a woman: said person is still a man who underwent procedures to appear as a woman. The woke mob wants me to affirm that a transsexual woman is, in fact, a real woman. I will not say that. I would be a lying. I tend to pursue truth. Truth does not care about people's feelings.

      Ok. Seems to me that you just want a free pass at being an ass.

      She is a real woman even though she does not conform to your expectations of what gender is. Here is the thing though: She does not need your affirmation to

      1. be real
      2. look like a woman
      3. live like a woman
      4. feel like a woman.

      What reason do you have to claim that she is not a "real woman" (whatever that means, I can guarantee that it is not well defined)? Most importantly, if she feels like a woman, even if you disagree on some metaphysical level of nonsense of what is a woman, why would you have the need to tell her what you think? Lastly, why do you think your opinion about her body is important?

        Much of what you are claiming is not grounded in truth, but I tend to pursue truth. Transsexual "women" fail to meet one basic requirement to be considered women: they are not female. A woman is an adult human female. I can guarantee that this word is well defined. Look it up on a dictionary, if you do not believe me. People can make statements about themselves that are untrue, but it is up to me if I want to keep up with their perception of themselves. They need not care about what I say the same way I do not want a law in place that forces me to keep up with their different perception of themselves. In parts of North America you can face harsh penalties for "misgendering". When the left stretches things up to the point you can face legal consequences for truthful speech, we digress into totalitarianism.

          This is not at all what totalitarianism means, look it up in a dictionary or something.
