   Fucking lol, is that a thing already? What's the difference between multiple personality disorder and being "gender-fluid"? How long will it take for the public to demand that schizzos are normal people with a right to be as crazy as they want?
   
   Think about it and let me know. I got three more stops on my route until I'll take a break.

   Mental illness requires that something seriously negatively affect your life. Both MPD and gender fluidity can be mental illnesses. But gender fluidity can be negative to your life due to societal factors, whereas true MPD can be tremendously negative and dangerous.

   What is the scientific basis, numerically, for normal?
   
   Like for example, the population is whatever like 52% female and 47% male and 1% whatever else, but we'll only say the 1% is abnormal.
   
   Why don't we say that it's abnormal to be a male, since its most common to be born a female?
   
   What's the magic number where we say, only so many percent of people have this particular 'thing', so we've decided it's a disorder and not normal.

   I don't generally like defending genderfluidity because it's as weird a concept to me as it is to most people, but like... that's a solid answer, I guess. The big difference being people with MPD don't just "feel like" they're a Greek bus driver today. Anything gender related is basically just an exercise in imitating perceived stereotypes. Not necessarily so for MPD either.

   Honestly I don't give a fuck what people want to think of themselves. Just don't ask me to respect your pronoun. Imma call you what you look like.

   One time when I was working as a car hop I called this morbidly obese woman "sir" and didn't correct it. That thought has sat with me for five years. It probably made her feel pretty bad but it was busy and I was on 4-fa so I didn't care. I feel bad about it now, even though she totally looked like a sir. You can't be that fat with a square face AND have short hair. It isn't fair.
