And how do you differentiate between this and say, a shop, or a doctor? Do LGBT people not “have the right to the labour” of those services?

Because it’s not actually about the pronouns. These people aren’t actually angry about pronouns.

For me it’s the fact that nobody really believes us when we talk about our issues or even the things we personally experience. Even well meaning people, even friends, immediately assume that we are exaggerating or imagining things when we talk, or assume they know better about what is or is not harmful to us.

Japan has been in the year 2000 for the past 50 years.
