These supposed deeply held beliefs about reality are, in fact, recently created out of whole cloth, and they are rooted in a cynical desire to hurt trans people. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Calling the Statue of Liberty "she" but not a trans woman? Singing "Stand beside her/and guide her" in God Bless America? Oh, you're really holding tightly to those reality-based beliefs.

Pronouns have never been a marker of biological sex. They're practical, social, based on appearance and convention. The :deeply held belief" is that transgender people must be made social outcasts. There's nothing more hiding beneath the skirts of these transphobes than that.
