A comment on I Met Paul Graham Once. Parent comment
Well then, consider that it really is not my problem if these males are offended by the simple word "he".
Have you heard of the Stroop effect?
More to the point, I've no interest whatsoever in encouraging a man's fantasy "woman" identity, quite the opposite in fact.
Perhaps these men would consider giving women and girls the basic decency and respect of refraining from such misogynistic appropriation.
They could even pick another word to describe themselves, given that "woman" is already taken. What's so hard about using a different word?
