A transwoman wanting to be called she is natural, because she'd want to be treated exactly like a woman, but what does someone who wants to be called "ze" want to be treated like?
if my understanding is correct, gender is being categorised as fluid, so there is potential for someone to identify as something in the morning, and as something entirely differently in the afternoon. How can anyone be certain they are every gendering correctly with that concept
