"fuck you, I don't care about you, I'll do whatever I want".

Certainly, that's one possible interpretation.

Just not the only one.

I'm sure when Norton demanded to be called 'emperor', some refused for the reason you cite above. Others, I'm sure, refused to call Norton 'emperor' because, in fact, he was not an emperor.

"I really, really don't see gender in the same way you do, henry."

And we don't have to.

Since this is the closest I'm gonna get to a 'let's agree to disagree', I'll just say: thanks, Dana.

"He made this thread to make sure everyone knew that he did it just to be an enormous jerk."

That's one interpretation. Another is, it irks me when folks demand I toss away what's real in favor of not-real.

"I hope that answered your question."

You did. Thank you for the civility. Your post raises other questions for me, but I'll save those for a later time.
