What kind of proof are you talking about? Who the fuck are you to demand proof? None of us can ever know what goes on inside another person's head. Therefore all we can do is take a person's word for what they are feeling.
The general unwritten rule around here is that if a person identifies as a certain gender, then the rest of us have the decency to respect that. This attitude that you have (and that tsntx has), that a person must prove that they are transgendered is bullshit, and is counter-productive. The girls around here were born as men, but they say "I don't feel like a man, I feel like a woman on the inside. While I try to make my external appearance match what I feel on the inside, could you please refer to me as (insert new female name here)." And we accommodate.
Until there is some genetic test or functional MRI test to determine transgendered
you just have to take them at their word, unless you have proof that they are just fucking with us. BTW I should mention that I would be opposed to any kind of test as a pre-requisite for being considered transgendered. As long as we consider gender to be a separate concept from biological sex, we should just assume good faith and refer to people how they want to be referred to
