Agreed, though I would say it's in the eye of the beholder and the beheld,. but surely even here it's a matter of basic respect to allow someone their identity, if it's doing no harm?

That a matter of etiquette and should not be enforced, by law on women in sport, prisons, politics, dv shelters or choice of sexual partners

Again though, how do we enforce that, because trans women are not going to be happy with a legal system that calls them men, and men only. Which is a proposition to create a double layer ID card, with "sex", and "gender" categories split.

That's for them to sort out, without beating up women, or using kids as (v profitable) human shields. Society needs to accept them as men.

Does society need to accept that people don't own other people's perceptions & that they can can use what pronouns they like or does it need to agree with you & say trans women are men?

The user of pronouns is the speaker, not the person referenced.

OK but does society need to let people use the pronouns they want for other people or does it need to use 'he' for trans women?

In a group scenario, as you've highlighted with your daughter, this can go terribly wrong if there's no kindness or respect.

Bollocks, if the group lies you don't support that lie.

You are incoherent. Is it now that people can use the words they like as long as they are true according to your ideology?
