I was born with naturally low testosterone, somewhere in between, but I’ve never let it bother me. My pronoun is “whatever.” I really don’t care. In Mandarin, the pronouns for he, she, and it—tā, tā, tā—are all pronounced identically. So, you don’t have to be forced to change your language to refer to me. I believe that absolute freedom of speech and mutual respect can absolutely coexist.
