Is there any way that you can PROVE that the person typing these words onto
this computer is who the computer says it is?

But beyond that, what could possibly be wrong with calling someone of the
FEMALE sex with feminine pronouns, regardless of what they choose to call
themselves?  I don't see where I'm discriminating, since I call ALL the
females I know "SHE".  In fact, I refer to females I don't know as "SHE"
as well.

Ain't life tough!
