Just my opinion based on basically all biological studies, but you're either a man or a woman. If someone is transgender (1.4 million in the U.S.), and goes through the hormone changes and surgery, then I'm okay with calling what once was a man, a woman, and vice-versa. But, telling me I need to call a man who identifies with being a woman, a woman, isn't going to work with me. Basically, I call them as I see them. I don't want a man who says he's a woman, being able to go into the girls'/women's restrooms. It takes away their rights to privacy and to feel protected.
Around 80% of children who are questioning their gender, no longer question it when they hit puberty; they remain with their current gender. Of the 20% who do want to change, roughly 42% of them will commit suicide sometime during their lifetime (our national average is around 4%). Around 40% of these, are individuals who officially went through the transition. Basically, this means that having the surgery didn't change some of their desires to live; their happiness levels didn't change.
I feel sorry for those who are conflicted regarding their identify especially knowing how sad most of them really are, but, I refuse to let the tail wag the dog meaning they only make up a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the U.S. population and I don't need to change the way I speak like deploying gender pronouns. I promise you this, changing the way I speak won't stop their massive suicide rates. Their community seems to look outside for solutions when the primary issue is on their insides.
