This week in trans: extra prison time possible for misgendering


As counter questions... How much should a person's self-declared identity be the basis of legal treatment and public policy? In what situations should a person be allowed to subjectively identify into protections, privileges, and services that are currently provided on the basis of objective factors? What should be the course of action when one person's internal, personal belief about their identity creates a conflict with the rights, dignity, privacy, and safety of existing objective categories of people?
Are we seeing a situation where we have a surplus of people demanding transgender rights that aren't legitimately transgender? The argument seems to be we can't provide these rights because some people might take advantage.
