No, I'm asking you why you need that middle ground.
Why do you keep using that word, "need"? I'm pointing out that you left out possibilities, creating a false dichotomy.

Why can't you just call Bob "Roberta" and get on with your life?

Also, no one is telling you that you have to pretend something is true that you don't think is.
Of course they are. They're telling me to call Bob "Roberta" and get on with my life.

Or did you feel that you couldn't defend your use of those words?
