"a born male who self-identifies as female has no right to expect the world or any people in it to respect that"

What such a person can expect is to be left to his own self-definition.

It is absurd for such a person to expect any one else to participate in what is a falsehood (that he is 'she').

Lie to yourself as you like, Dana...lie to Ibram as you like, Dana...I won't, and no amount of name-calling or appeals to the nastiness of the world will move me.
