[00:00:00]  You're doing it as a way of just still trying to be disrespectful because you're refusing to call me he.
[00:00:03]  That's the thing.
[00:00:04]  You want me to actively call you a boy and call you he?
[00:00:08]  That's crazy because that's what I just said.
[00:00:10]  I'm not gonna do it.
[00:00:11]  We're being respectful here.
[00:00:12]  What is your name?
[00:00:12]  Cyrus.
[00:00:13]  I'll use your name, but I will not call you a bird.
[00:00:15]  But I'm gonna call you he from the rest of the time.
[00:00:17]  Would you like that?
[00:00:17]  Would you be comfortable if I called you a boy if I referred you as he from now?
[00:00:20]  That's fine, but I'm comfortable in my body, so I know I'm a girl.
[00:00:22]  So whatever you call me is what you call me.
[00:00:24]  That's disrespectful for me.
[00:00:25]  I'm not comfortable with you trying to force a fake ideology on me.
[00:00:29]  But you're trying to be respectful and by calling me.
[00:00:31]  I will call you by your name.
[00:00:32]  I will call you by your name.
[00:00:34]  Okay, that's great.
[00:00:34]  And what was your name?
[00:00:35]  Cyrus.
[00:00:36]  Cyrus.
[00:00:36]  Cyrus, I will call you by your name Cyrus.
[00:00:39]  Okay.
[00:00:39]  Is that what the name you were given by your brother?
[00:00:41]  That is none of your business.
[00:00:42]  I don't think it was.
[00:00:44]  Anyway, I will call you that name.
[00:00:46]  That's fine, but I don't think it's fair for you to try and tell me that I have to pretend that you're a boy.
[00:00:51]  Well, you don't have to pretend.
[00:00:51]  You can just act like it.
[00:00:53]  That's pretending.
