Your Sexuality and Gender Identity?

[Marokai Backbeat]

My objection to using the term is not only that it's frequently superfluous (which it is, of course) but rather that, if gender identity is immaterial to how you should treat individuals, why the obsession with using a term that by it's nature divides people into "true" gender or "trans" gender? If you identify as a man I'll perceive you as a man and that's all that matters, and vice versa. I don't really think it matters in practice how you arrived at that point as far as my personal treatment toward you goes. The use of the term is incredibly pedantic academic, and in academia is where it should remain.
