Gender reassignment question

[duane1969]

a lesbian trapped in a male body ?

Yeah something like that LOL

Why would it come down to protecting yourself from a lawsuit? Why wouldn't it just be a matter of respect for the other individual?

because we live in lawsuit nation and the op could lose his job over a word

Congrats on totally missing the point or avoiding it altogether.

if you are born a man you are a man, doesn't matter if you have your private parts removed or some added. still a man/woman.
your dna says you are a man/woman not how you look.

my buddy at work is over 300lbs and he has breast lol that doesnt make him a woman

i dont understand people.

I would call the person by their name.

Yea, but you can't always speak in the 3rd person, which I think (I could be wrong) was the point here.

It stops at showing common courtesy to your fellow human beings. And people always wonder why the world is as it is. A simple concept of courtesy and respect can't be grasped.

In that case you try to address them with the gender specific pronouns that they identify with. Another case of simple uncommon respect.

if they keep moving the goal post and changing the rules on me then what?
if they where consistently flaming gay or butch i can can deal with that just fine but im not going to change my behavior every time someone else changes thiers

I don't think being respectful in what you say is changing your behavior.
I find the whole concept of gender reassignment mind boggling, it makes little sense to me, but so does a hard core liberal, a crazy religious person, and a whole lot of other people.
If for some reason I was so uncomfortable with it, you could avoid calling them by their name or gender, or you could sue.
If you genuinely slip and call them their original name, so be it, but only you know if it is genuine or not.
