So what does it matter if it’s true or not if you’re respecting their mindset?
Do you feel the need to call them by their pronouns while telling them that they’re not really the gender they identify with?

>However a person chooses to identify, it doesn't validate their choice.
Their choice does not require validation by you, only respect for their preferences.

Choice.
Really, that's the crux of it. A person can choose to identify however they want, there's no set criteria for what would make a person choose to be identified as male or female, it's simply "What makes that person feel more comfortable?"
Now, inevitably this is confusing for people at times, especially when the outward signs would suggest that the person should be considered one or the other based on appearance. But making mistakes is part of life, and if that person tells you they prefer another pronoun, it's just common courtesy to do so.

Yea, and the tubing PARKS are specifically designed for tubes and rigorously tested to ensure safety.
They also have walls that prevent the tubes from exiting the designated areas.

You do realize you're effectively doxxing yourself here, that your name is on the video you just linked, right?
That said, it's some random royalty-free audio. You're not going to find the title.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
