Assumption and beliefs are somewhat kindred ... but not the same
One may start with an assumption .... but if examined further ... it can turn into a belief (more confidence that something is true from examination of evidence).
Assumptions or beliefs may or may not be true.
It is my assumption you do not think there is a difference between assuming something and believing something. True or false?
It is my assumption because I require more information to understand your thinking on the matter. Your answer provides more evidence (information) one way or the other as to what you think about the matter. If more information is not provided then my assumption stays in tact until such time you provide additional information.
What you think about the matter has no consequence to me or vice versa ... it's just conversation about our thinking, which may be the same .... or not.
Assumption or belief?
Hebrews 11:1-6 NKJV
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Romans 1:20
King James Bible
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Ever see this? I don't think she appears bigoted or small minded in the explantion of her stance on this at all, I think its well done.I would use their preferred pronouns if that's how they see themselves. What is the point in protesting what they call themselves/ it just make one look bigoted nd small minded
No.Do you think assuming and believing are the same?
I think she is going into more issues than simply using preferred pronouns. I think preferred pronouns are more benign than the issues of athletics and children having surgery.Ever see this? I don't think she appears bigoted or small minded in the explantion of her stance on this at all, I think its well done.
Megyn Kelly Explains Why She Will No Longer Use "Preferred Pronouns" as Trans Ideology Grows
I think in the trans community they differentiate between male/female and man/woman. Man/woman is what they believe is more of a social construct while male/female is more biological. Question: if someone changed their name, would you continue to call them by their old name? Another question: does it make you feel good or proud to reject someone's preferred pronoun? Has this ever needed to be applied IRL?I personally do not care what someone's pronouns are. If they are male, he, if female, she. Period.

Avoid Phrases Like ‘Preferred Pronouns’
You may have heard the term “preferred pronouns” in reference to gender pronouns. While this is fairly common, many in the trans and non-binary community try to avoid this language, as it suggests that their correct pronouns are merely a preference or a suggestion. Instead, try using words like “personal pronouns” or, simply, “pronouns”.
So how does it make you feel that you yourself have rejected avoiding the phrase "preferred pronoun"?
I wouldn't put that false guilt upon you. Its all manipulation and that would make me a useful tool in the whole delusion.
Back in the days of less crazy, trans (or one who had gender identity dysphoria) was considered mentally ill. I don't see how reinforcing what is no longer to be considered "preferred" but rather correct is something to feel good about.
Gender is complicated. We don't even have to bring up the transgender thing to acknowledge this.
There are a lot of people who were literally born different. A person born, for example, with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) is genetically male, they have an X and a Y chromosome. However they do not develop male, but rather female. Without looking at the person's DNA it would be almost impossible to tell that they were genetically male rather than female. They are born with a vagina, during purberty they develop breasts. The thing is that they can't become pregnant, because they lack ovaries. So such a person is born, and they live their entire lives as women, often never knowing they were genetically male.
That's just an example. But it does show that gender is complicated. Because their biological sex is male (they have an X and a Y chromosome), but they look female, they have always been female as far as they and everyone else around them knows. And they could go their whole lives never knowing differently.
Is a person with AIS a he or a she? Do we go with their biological sex (male) or their presenting gender (female)?

Good points!
It's not always beneficial to affirm what someone incorrectly believes about their "gender" or anything else. For example, if a person thought they were fat, and do everything they can to lose weight, and they only weigh 90 lbs. even though they're 25 years old, and are severely malnourished, should we affirm their "body identity" as a fat person who needs to lose weight? Should we refer to them as trans-fat?
lol, Hey Aldebaran, long time no see (2BeholdHisGlory) changed back to my old username. Look at chu, now staff, I would have never thunked it.
Can you imagine if your son identified as superman and you had to affirm his imagination? And the only way prescribed for you to affirm him was that you needed to take him up to the roof of your home (with his little blankey cape on) and encourage him to jump. If you were just as deluded you might push him off with great anticipation
For the purpose of personal communication, I'd go with whatever he/she prefers.Is a person with AIS a he or a she? Do we go with their biological sex (male) or their presenting gender (female)?
