Gender identity is highly personal. It is not my job - and I have no right - to have an opinion about other people's gender identites. It is literally none of my fucking business. As is the same for Other People's sexuality.

My gender identity and sexuality are also not anyone's business but my own.

I have no desire to debate, defend, or discuss this issue further.

None. Of. My. Business.

I have utmost respect and support for everyone's unique method of gender expression. It is a highly personal issue best left up to each individual and no one should ever be challenged about this by others - ESPECIALLY strangers on the internet - about these matters.

I wish you well and bid you a peaceful night.
