There is nothing unreasonable about it. It's not hard and people change things all the time; they change names, phone numbers, job titles, etc., and other peope remember. It's just discriminatory.

Here is where the rules I proposed upthread apply: The only thing not to tolerate is intolerance. They only deserve tolerance if they tolerate others - it's a two-way street. (Rather than repeat the whole thing, see the comment upthread or click here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49442308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49442308 )

- mmooss 1mo agoIf you redefine intolerant, I guess that makes sense.
- visualities 2mo agoWhy do you believe this is the same sort of thing as changing a name, phone number or job title? There is a discrepancy too in that most people who think this idea should apply to sex don't extend it to other immutable characteristics like race. Rachel Levine was celebrated for calling himself a woman, Rachel Dolazel was pilloried for calling herself black.
- mmooss 1mo agoIt doesn't matter what I believe or you believe or "most people" believe. Toleration is regardless of your own beliefs; that's the point.
