Cool. This is no different from the "I have a black friend, and HE said...." retorts people give when addressing their interactions with the community on the whole.
Because Dave's stance is, essentially, if you were born with a dick, you're still not a woman, not really, because gender is a fact.
And he's just plain fucking wrong. It's a social construct.
And "not forgetting that she's human" is one thing. That's what she's saying to him. That's their dynamic.
Thing is, it's dehumanizing to deny her- and every other member of her community- her gender identity.
The rest of his story about her does nothing to fix that problem.
