"no matter how much you try, people will still classify you by your biology automatically in their heads and there’s nothing you can do to stop them." My daughter said this almost verbatim in a facebook group recently, and bingo! Banned from the group, then banned from facebook for 30 days. I agree entirely. Not only that, but saying he/him, when you know they are a she/her is lying to yourself and causes micro body stresses, such as a lie detector would pick up. Enough of those micro stresses, and you're actually doing your health, and body, harm.

It's the gender religion's equivalent of 'Peace Be Upon Him' ... a token of fealty, designed to mark out the people refusing to take the knee, which ironically tells us how much the zealots fear the lone nonconformist. See Vaclav Havel for details. Maya Forstater's blog on the Power of the Powerless is an excellent intro.
