“Self identified” as I understood it was a group of people who identified themselves in a certain way. Life is way too short to be worried about what terminology other people use. I couldn’t care less. For another person to use this term is, I believe, a projection of the users thoughts and values. Not the actual “group”. If someone were to call me a “self identified” woman, I’d probably pee my pants laughing. Others having a different viewpoint about gender and sexuality has no effect on me, and I see no point in trying to force my views on them as they are doing to me. They’re just spinning their wheels. This, in my view, puts them in the same category as Christians who try to enforce their standards on others.
