This is where we're never going to agree. I think it's illogical, if not preposterous, to conclude that a man who has mostly feminine-coded personality traits is therefore a woman, barring body dysphoria, which is a medical condition that can only be alleviated through the reconstruction of sex organs. Which is again, not enough to qualify as a full on metamorphosis from one sex to another.
But is it illogical that a person who has mostly feminine-coded personality traits is therefore a woman?
You're begging the question when you say a priori that this person is "a man". You've already assumed your conclusion, so of course you say it's preposterous.
