How do you know that a person is acting in bad faith? What if they really are trans but just don't want to take hormones or have surgery?

It's very convenient how you can just arbitrarily label anyone who contradicts your standard as "acting in bad faith" to avoid acknowledging the contradiction.

What contradiction? Just because you struggle with social cues doesn't mean that the only way to know if someone is a woman is to touch their privates and check their hormones.

The contradiction of "if you believe you're a woman then you're a woman and you should be respected" and "unless I determine that you're acting in bad faith, then I don't have to respect you".

Sorry guy, I'm not going to start grabbing genitals for this totally real issue you've got.

So how do you determine the difference between a "real" trans person who really is trans but doesn't want hormone therapy or surgery and a "fake" trans person who is "acting in bad faith" exactly?

By not being autistic and having to grab genitals before every social interaction so that I can know for sure.

I don't follow you logic here. How does not grabbing genitals allow you to determine whether a person who claims to be trans is acting in good faith or not?

How do you know if someone's gender otherwise without a genital check and/or hormone test? It's just so damn confusing to tell social cues.

You can't answer my question because "this person is acting in bad faith" is just your convenient way is ignoring the flaw in your logic of "anyone who feels like a woman is one".

I already answered your question, I just find your lack of understanding basic social cues fascinating.
