I've already explained to you why you have to prove yourself correct. But you're just going to be intellectually dishonest and ignore what I say when you can't figure out anyway to address it, aren't you?

Nope. She was a woman, and is entitled to be referred to by the proper pronouns, those pronouns being she/her/hers. Anything else is blatantly disrespectful, transphobic, trolling, and generally the calling card of people with no empathy or sense of basic human decency.

Hmm, I must have missed that part of the thread, but it is an intruiging legal question. If someone legally changes their gender, does a deathcertificate that says something else have any legal standing ?
If this has been answered already I shall stop being lazy and actually read the thread

Well clearly that wasn't the case because the family, the church, and the funeral home all bury the transgender individual as a man. So that's three groups that have all confirmed the person as a man. Therefore I refer to him as such using male pronouns.

Didn't the person legally change their gender though?

I think the law recognizing her as female is more significant than a church, a funeral home and her family calling her male.

A transgender woman who died in Florida was buried open casket as a man, in a suit with a man's haircut, and given the obituary of a man, listing the bank she worked at and the Church she went to as a child. It used the pronoun "him" for her.
Is that right?
A funeral is a ceremony to gather in love, honor, and respect for the people we cared about most. It doesn't have to be reduced to just a chance for us to be reminded that we are going to judgment by God and it is wrong for boys to wear panties. Honoring life was what the ceremony should have been about, an act of love and loss that should be about the deceased and their wishes.
The obituary was technically correct but managed to omit the vital facts, rather like a legal response. Her transgender status, or even the fact that she was a woman in the eyes of the person who knew her best (herself), was omitted. Her parents (or whoever made this decision) apparently would be ashamed by everyone knowing she was beautiful brave woman who made one of the most painful but profoundly truthful transformations that a person can undergo.
If they had buried her as a woman that would have been sacrificing their own wants just because they loved her, and that's what Jesus taught.
Anyway, that's the topic of discussion and my opinion. There is an obnoxious prick in a loud jacket watching this news story about this transgender woman with me as I write this, and he's telling me that we should "road trip to Florida, fill the trunk of the caddy with a shovel, a nice dress, and 200 kg of post-mortem Maybelline".
Btw, if anybody lives in Florida and would take a little money to put some makeup and hair products and leave them at a specific location at a specific time once a year, telegram.
No poll. Just please read before you respond.

She/He/insert your preferred pronoun here is dead, they couldve of buried the corpse as an eggplant, gave it well wishes on its journey to space turnip land and then covered teh casket in cow manure and not one bit of it wouldve mattered to the corpse.
Funerals, and viewings are where we PRETEND to honor the dead when what we are doing is simply giving ourselves closure, they are about us the living, not the dead.
So can we not be offended for the Corpse's feelings, because regardless of genital selection there are in point of fact real people who loved this person and now no longer have them because someone is actually dead. Or you know, fuck humanity and lets make it our job to be upset since there is no one who can be justifiably upset. Always have to find a petty problem to make ourselves feel good.
The Dead have all their shit settled.

No.
Look, I don't care if you disagree with us on transgender issues, but you could at least have the decency to be polite and refer to people by their preferred pronouns. There's many transgender people on NS, and while it might not be a big deal to you, their gender identity is a big deal to them, and the world is already a pretty frightening place for most transgender people without some anonymous pedant smugly refusing them even the basic courtesy of acknowleding the pronouns they identify with.
Words can hurt, and quite deeply at that.

I'm happy the existence of transgender people doesn't make you pee in your pants, but that has nothing to do with what I said.
With that said... The person in question didn't "want" to be a woman. She identified as a woman. If you're going to spew transphobic nonsense, at least use accurate vocabulary... and the correct pronouns.

Please... don't. The burden of proof is on you, and that rant of yours won't change that.
See, I do consider myself a mature young adult... and as such I know when the burden of proof is on me, and by your own admission, it's not. You are the one making claims that need corroboration. You can't bait me by attacking me and insulting my intelligence.

Say, what credentials did those three groups have that made them fit to determine the legitimacy of this woman's gender identity?
And while we are at it, what credentials do you have?
