Just musing: Even if my gender identity was not actually innate (though I'm of the opinion that the evidence is definitely swinging in favour of that being the case), as something I didn't choose, it'd still be something that I'd expect to be respected.
I didn't choose to be trans. If I'd had the choice I'd have chosen cis. It's a much easier road, whether it's cis man or cis woman, though obviously cis woman is a harder road than cis man.
Certainly I'd expect people who aren't cissexist or transphobic to respect my unchosen gender identity far more quickly than, for example, a chosen sexuality like political lesbianism. For the record, I do think that political lesbianism is perfectly valid and should be respected just as much as an unchosen sexuality. I'm just making a comparison that for obvious reasons, is pertinent here.
