nd you don't have to. That's your choice. Just like their identity is their choice. As long as JSO's thought police don't take over.
It's not a "thought police" thing. It's biological reality. It's like if you're 30 years old and you're 5' 10" tall you can believe you're over 6' tall all you want but it's not reality.

If you are born a "he" with XY sex chromosomes in every cell of your body (except for about half of your gametes) you can "believe" you're a female all you want but you're not a female. You're just not. You don't get to choose that any more than you can choose to be some species other than Homo sapiens. You can want to be a peacock but you're not a peacock.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Clearly that's not true anymore. It's just not.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

You're a female to yourself (which is what matters most) and any other nonjudgmental people who are not bothered by how others choose to portray themselves…like the thought police.

So as long as someone believes it, taxpayers must foot the bill, for a criminal?

Not exactly...
it takes Lawyers and a totally broken legal system to get TAX PAYERS to cover this
There are all kinds of crazy things people believe _ as you say "someone believes"

But it takes a Lawyer to f*ck a state like this :nod:
