Serious answer: Anyone who identifies as one.
I literally can't pin it down more than that as there are exceptions to every rule. Same goes for a man.
No. While people have the freedom to call themselves whatever they want, I also reserve my own freedom to call them whatever the f*** I want. It works both ways. At least it should.
Ultimately, it's a courtesy. Like finding out if the James you just met prefers James, Jim, Jimmy, Jimbo, their middle name or a completely different one because the uncle they hate was also a James. We do this in various parts of our dealings with people, it's part of the oil that greases the wheels of human interaction. You can chose to be discourteous but you may well find people chose to not have anything to do with you.
what is a singer? a runner? a painter? Do I have to win a marathon to be runner, or can I be a runner and run a mile a week at 5mph? If you see me running that mile, am I not "the runner over there?"
Regarding your own freedom, if someone says "My name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz, Lizzie, Liza, Eliza... just not Beth please," and you go "Ok BETH." - yeah, that's your freedom to do that, you're still an asshole.
You can call anyone what you want. You have that freedom like anyone else. Like everyone else you can be considered a extremely rude and not nice if you dead name or miss gender.
Fair enough, but sometimes legislation is passed that makes deadnaming and misgendering illegal which it most definitely shouldn't be.
What are you talking about
Pronoun law in Canada, probably https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/features/canadas-gender-identity-rights-bill-c-16-explained
Yup I fully support everyones right to be a huge annoying jerk if they want to be. I just hope they chose not to be.
Are you being silenced for your transphobic views?
Damn, I wish it worked!
remember kids, freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences
I should be able to call a man in dress a man, without any legal consequences. Snowflakes simply shouldn't be able to terrorize others.
hahaha seems to me like the dude who's terrified of trans people is more of a snowflake than the people who make fun of him for being such a miserable person
Snowflakes simply shouldn't be able to terrorize others.
Does it terrify you that a woman might have a penis?
Calling you an asshole isn't terrorism you bitch made ass.
Feelingest of fee fees having ass.
Fucking snowflake, because words melt you.
Calm down King Edward. The scottish cant hurt you anymore.
Fear the "devils in skirts"!.
Lmao thats perfect
And everyone else has the right to think you're a prick and cut you out of their lives.
You're just not a very nice person, are you?
I actually am, but I don't like the entire woke agenda nowadays.
What do you mean by woke agenda? Can you be precise, please?
That we must comply with everybody's whims and thus let men beat women in female categories of sports, allow doctors to maim kids just because they think they're trans, and a lot of similar crap.
No, I meant the Algerian boxer, specifically. But there should be limits to prevent freaks from wreaking havoc.
So you think trans people are icky and don't understand what's going on.
Have you ever talked to a trans person? You should try educating yourself on the subject instead of rejecting a whole group of people based on vague feelings. There are no men in women's sports and children are not usually subject to gender affirming surgery.

Man, telling people what to do should be illegal. You should study more because I said so.

Bro, you should read your own comments before blatantly lying.
I'm not telling you what to do, I'm suggesting what you should do. Because you condemn people for things you don't seem to comprehend.
There are no men in women's sports. Trans women are not men. You don't get to compete in pro sports as a trans person without HRT, after which trans women don't have a statistical advantage over cis women athletes. You make it sound like I, a cis man, could just declare myself a woman and go for it. That is not how any of it works.

There is little to none gender affirming surgery performed on children no matter what rage bait "news" outlets might claim:

There is no woke agenda other than letting people live their lives in peace.
No need to be a bitch, Brenda.
