@damonology I don't understand it either. I see it not only as an issue of respect, but also just... Caring and loving. Like, how can you say you care and love me if you won't take the time to understand me? I met my cis lesbian partner only 2 years ago, after I started transition but before bottom surgery. And she loves me more than anyone on this planet ever has. And she sees me as a woman, through and through, no exceptions. Why can she understand it, but they can't?
