You asking as if its a binary question right? My contention is against someone that feels we need to take peoples word for it. That when it comes to gender identity its moral, legal, proper, logical, etc to not question motives and intentions etc. To not machievallian think, to not consider the other person to be possibly nefarious.
I'm not suggesting I am a truth teller. I am not saying I have perfect detection of the sincereness of someone's smile. I am saying it would be absurd to not take on a believe that it is wrong to evaluate someone in this regard.
And also wrong to label me a bigot and transphobic if i think that dylan is faking it for the attention.
