No, no, no: Joe is wrong and deluded. He's ill. But thatt's his business. He makes it my business when he demands I accept him as her, which I won't do cuz he is not she.Cool. So in no way are you asserting that Josephine is actually wrong or mistaken. You are instead assenting that everybody makes up their own mind and as such there is no right or wrong to the matter. I feel like you didn't approve when I asserted something similar, but perhaps my feeble memory is to blame.
An example: I see Joe all gussied in his Josephine get up. we may be shoppin' in the same store or standin' next to each other in the same movie line. I note his lunacy to myself, and go about my business. I got no obligation, as I reckon things, to confront Joe on this, or any other, matter. My mindin' my own business is not acceptance of Joe's delusion, it's just me, mindin' my own business.
Joe is a sick puppy.So the content of Joe's mind is not proper? Joe's mind contains a wrong idea about Joe's gender identitiy.
Again: Joe can pretend to be a girl, may actually believe he's a girl, but he is not, and never will be, a girl.
Not my business, till he makes it mine.
To be as clear as possible...
If you take it upon yourself to decide that they have no right to that certainty,
Joe has the right to decide anything for himself and to be be as certain as he likes, about anything. And he has the right to be as wrong as he likes. He doesn't however, have the right to decide for me.
you are assuming a right of your own to decide the proper contents of somebody else's mind.
No. I advocate no solutions for Joe, or about Joe: I, like him, merely claim ownership of my own thinkin'.
