would I though? In that world the definition of "woman" would have to include me and it's hard to imagine how that could be outside of listing an outright exception. The dictionary could say something like
"Woman: humans without a Y chromosome and also this person (lists my social security number)"
See this is a descriptive definition. And people might make mistakes and use masculine pronouns because they think I have many traits that they associate with men, but that is more a matter of lacking rigor.
In such a world I might feel a greater similarity to those other men, but to be strictly correct I would need to use a different term with a descriptive definition which includes them and me (maybe "people who have Y chromosomes" assuming the definition of male has an explicit exception for me (lists social security number)).
sorry this is kind of a tangent. My point it that this is really an argument of taxonomy, which is not much of an argument at all.
anyway, I understand that it isn't really rational (as a property of it being a disease) but it still causes you distress. I currently can't look at my reflection as an element of my OCD. This isn't sustainable. I keep catching my reflection iny phone screen as I type this and I have to do my retarded compulsion because of it and this makes posting more time consuming and ... I hope we can both find ways to live functionally, and with some measure of dignity?
Have to shower now, might die good luck
