Okay. Well I think I’ve figure out why you keep getting called a bigot by trans people. You just can’t accept trans people period.

I accept that they exist, but I don't accept any of their claims about gender. It requires a set of outlandish beliefs that I don't personally hold. I don't mind that they hold these beliefs, but I think they're incorrect and incoherent.
This is the same stance that I have on various religions. If this is bigoted, so be it.

You've probably met people you don't know are trans. If you saw Andreja Pejić or Laith Ashley in person there is no way you'd suspect them of people trans.
All you're saying is, you don't want non-passing people allowed in the wrong restrooms. Which, is... it's just a strange thing to want, really.
Also I'm not convinced that a man being called "ma'am" or "miss" necessarily means that the speaker thinks he's a woman, especially these days. They might be saying it because that's how you're expected to politely address men in dresses these days. Or perhaps, they are being quietly sarcastic about the whole thing.
In summary, I don't accept this Butlerian redefinition of woman, as it's incoherent with reality and relies on guessing what's going on in people's minds. The existing definition of adult human female is fine and there's no need to change it.
