Reply to comment by jamesgelliott in ELI5: What does it mean to identify as a man/woman ? by Fakeid7

It seems to me that there's a difference between identifying as female or male, vs. identifying as an historic figure, vs. identifying as an animal or even as another race.

I get that you can't distinguish the difference and similarities so I'm not going to spend my time conversing with you. Have a great evening my friend.

I think the reason you don't want to engage is because you know he has a point and you don't have a response to his statement.

Your argument is based on a fallacy. Trans people ONLY want to identify with a gender they feel best fits them. Then people like yourself come along and create strawmans by equating "identifying with a specific gender" to "identifying as a helicopter" and other wild comparisons.

Also, science in genetics refutes your way of thinking.
