What makes a woman a woman? What is the definitive quality that makes one a woman (or man)?

There are only a few cases of confusion. We are not talking about rare things like being intersexed. Virtually all transgendered people know what they started as with clarity.

It is. Especially when it takes you out of your comfort zone.

Does it take everyone out of their comfort zone? So making others uncomfortable, even unintentionally is hatred?

Can you provide instances where a company has been successfully sued in a situation like in this topic? Or do you have any other grounds for that claim?

Perhaps a more accurate comparison would be acknowledging Sue’s current (second or third) husband as her spouse, rather than insisting her ex-husband is her valid spouse, because of your religious belief that it is so.

But that is not the issue at my workplace, and irrelevant to the topic. That is another thread altogether. The principle might be the same, but another topic. The principle is, speak the truth, and be true to your beliefs, is that what you are arguing against?

It is not one factor alone, but your sex is determined by chromosomes, and other genetic qualities, size and shape of bone structure, and other forensic characteristics.
 
I was just pointing out the inconsistency of the analogy. However, I assume you’d feel the same about acknowledging marriages you believed are not valid.
 
That inconsistency is based on an assumption.

If someone wanted to be called King of the world when they weren’t,you probably wouldn’t oblige, but if someone had misidentified their own gender, you would have to play along. That is what gets me, and I guess makes my conscience rub when I am tasked with this.

You’ve noticed the emperor has no clothes. But corporations, like the state, are all about coercing people to do things they’d otherwise not do. If you don’t want to make it policy to have to call people by the pronoun they choose then you’re only holding off the inevitable.

As to the issue, it is an affront to truth to call a man a woman and a woman a man.
 
Yes. It’s based on the assumption that anything his coworker does that he feels is a violation of his religion is something he should be exempt from acknowledging at work. So, I would assume he would also find it objectionable to refer to someone’s husband as such if he is her second or third spouse.
 
Then that means that’s not a good standard for determining whether something is good or not.

Right. Who said it was? My statement pertained to my belief that when you make a sacrafice and go out of your comfort zone, it can be very loving. Not that it is always loving. And not that the discomfort you suffer is loving. Puting someone else’s needs above your own, though, usually is a loving thing to do. That is all.
 
It’s a not a need and it could be detrimental to their spiritual health and thus is not a loving thing at all.
 
Well that may well be, but I don’t know that it is our place to make the call about someone elses spiritual health. I think being kind is the most important thing. Obviously, others here don’t agree with me. That is OK though. None of us have all the answers.
 
That is your opinion. I have my own which is different from yours. It is fine.
