"She", not "he", guys
If he has a penis, is genetically male, then -- despite *self-definition -- he is 'he'.
Yes?
No?
Opinions?
*that Ibram self-defines as 'girl' is fine by me; that he believes any one else is obligated to address him as a girl (for no other reason than because he wants it that way) is absurd.

Fine. Back to your opening post.
Hes are hes. Shes are shes.
Ibram's belief (whatever that may be) is absurd.
hq's belief (whatever that may be) is absurd. I cite your own logic surrounding Ali's and John's posts.
Your argument is unsound, as you are not obligated to do anything. Your opening post is a great big setup. You say it was hasty, sloppy. Ok.
I will agree that for human individuals, it is common to refer to those who have a penis as "he". I do not agree with your extensions of that line of reasoning, especially when it comes to defining gender. Nor do I agree with extensions of that line of reasoning that the usage of "he" implies having a penis.
What is this thread about hq? Is it about Ibram's penis? Is it about pronouns? Is it about feeling obligated? Is it about the frission of gender/language/anatomy? Are you seeking to learn something? Or are you seeking to state something? Are you striving to persuade others or are you trying to clarify your own understanding? Something else?
Do you give a shit what Ibram, or many others here say in their posts? Why are you bothering? What the hell is your point, man?
And by "man", I mean... "label written 'henry quirk' which is associated with posts on this forum". ffs.
