I've heard it claimed people have the right to be perceived as the gender with which they identify. But how could that possibly be true?
-
why frame it like this. People request to be recognized as a given gender and you should out of respect.
Because I'm responding to having seen it framed in that way. Is that okay?
-
-
sure it's ok. But it doesn't answer the question of why frame it as anything else but simple politeness.
-
Because the claim that there are rights is much stronger than mere politeness. So it deserves examination and critique.
-
it's a matter of levels. If politeness is not enough, and people are suffering, it should be a right.
-
But it isn't a right, so it shouldn't be a right. I don't believe you really think I might have rights *against* your perceptions
