That's true, but there are identities where self-identity does make sense. Religious identity would be a good example. I think it's best to think of feelings-based gender identities as akin to religious identities. They don't replace the category of sex, but they are valid in their own right.
- orand 4y ago100%. Lawyers such as Candice Jackson believe that applying religious freedom laws to gender identity is the clearest path out of this mess. The true believers should get no more and no fewer rights than anyone else. It's important that law also protects "gender atheists", and their right to not believe or be forced to use the newspeak of the believers.
