What Age Is Acceptable To Identify As The Opposite Sex?

25 is still young - but wait, that's the age they usually start REGRETTING the change. Hm, it must start earlier then.
Regret?
Less than 1% of transgender people who undergo gender-affirming surgery report regret. That proportion is even more striking when compared to the fact that 14.4% of the broader population reports regret after similar surgeries.
Harry Barbee, Bashar Hassan, Fan Liang, 2023 Postoperative Regret Among Transgender and Gender-Diverse Recipients of Gender-Affirming Surgery.

The study also found that of those expressing any level of regret indicated that the majority of this regret stems from familial rejection.

True.

But I do get to ask for basic respect. And if that isn't given. Well, that's why people become ******** about it.

Respect =\= participating
Humm....... going by that logic, you disrespect a schizophrenic if you refuse to talk to his imaginary friends. I respectfully disagree.

Well, are you saying they are mentally ill in regards to gender?
And as for schizophranics there is more than one way to deal with that, if you actually started reading the literature about it.

you disrespect schizophrenics by calling their hallucinations "imaginary friends" and by making the foolish suggestion that they don't understand what they are and would expect anyone to interact with their hallucinations.

Yeah, they run around and strip people naked and check their external biological sex. Then they perform a field DNA test and instantly know the biological sex.
It is written into the US law that you are allowed to test people like that at any time and you don't have to rely on how they look as per gender. You never ever refer to somebody based on their gender as per non-biological external clothing and so on.

In effect yopu are not a mechanic but a field biologist and that is your life to test people for their sex. ;)
No; you go by the way a person presents themselves and assume they are whatever they look like. If you assume wrong, they will correct you; you apologize and assume they are who they say they are. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

do you apologize to them when you are wrong?

So it is not about their sex as such. It is about what they say they are in their personal understanding. That is gender.

If you define gender in a way that there is no distinction between man vs woman, yet you insist you are one but not the other...... what else do you call this?

Oh so gender has meaning now? Then explain the difference between a man vs a woman.
Every society, ethnic group, and culture has gender role expectations, but they can be very different from group to group. Women in western society are generally expected to dress in typically feminine ways and be polite, accommodating, and nurturing. Men are generally expected to be strong, aggressive, and bold.

There are plenty of ways to disrespect schizophrentics; I was just saying going by YOUR logic, it is disrespect if you refuse to talk to their imaginary friends.
