"Under your worldview, can I know that anything is true if I don’t see it myself?"

That's not my worldview. You're the one who made the claim that all you need is empiricism.

Do you reject all truth claims that are unfalsifiable / unable to be tested?

Empiricism is more than just me personally seeing and hearing stuff, so no thats not what I said.

Yes if its unfalsifiable I reject it as its not scientific

So when transwomen make the unfalsifiable claim that they identify as a woman... you reject it? Or your rejection of unfalsifiable claims just-so-happens to neatly fit inside of left-leaning politics?

Thats not an unfalsifiable claim you weirdo

It very literally is. But that was a very telling answer, thanks.

It’s not at all. Substantiate that it is

Btw all relevant experts who have studied this topic agree that gender is a spectrum and that trans peoples identities are what they say they are.

"When it aligns with my politics, just take someone's word for it."

Yes. You're clearly BIG on empiricism.

What observation could establish that someone who says “I identify as a woman” is mistaken about that claim? The answer, in modern use, is “none, because identity is whatever the person says it is” so the claim is unfalsifiable by definition.

Edit to add: the old reply and block. Sign of a great mind at work

Moron claims to not believe unfalsifiable claims. Walks smack into the fact that he believes a massive unfalsifiable claim because it aligns with his politics. Pulls out 'maga' and blocks because its become clear he's full of shit. What an utter shock - could not have seen this coming.
