Just as;

A man that identifies as a pre op trans gender female lesbian is not to be questioned!

A man identifies as a woman, he should be allowed to physically compete with women .

If Rachel Dolezal identifies as black, she should be immediately accepted and understood that she understands that perspective as well as any other black person.

A person's motorcycle identifies as a bicycle, they should be able to enter in the Tour de France using it.

A 16yr old identifies as a 22 yr old, she should be able to buy beer.

A 5 yr old identifies as a dog, they should only visit a vet for medical issues.

A futbol team identifies as a football team, obviously immediately accepted by the NFL.

Etc,etc,etc.
Strawman

Psychiatrist's disagree. And it is not considered a mental illness and can't be "cured"

All excellent points! In regards to Rachel Dolezal, the White woman who "identified" as Black even though she was not, we all know how well that went over. She lost her jobs as both NAACP chapter president and college professor, and now earns a living as a hairdresser.

Why? For claiming to be something she is not.

Perhaps they do, but the question is whether or not they are a man or a woman. A child may want to be a police officer (or a unicorn) but that does not mean she can walk into a police station and start handing out tickets. If an adult man wants to be a woman and gets the surgery and the hormones and changes his birth certificate then okay, he can use the women's bathroom. But not until then.

Gender is not malleable.
It is what it is, nor based on feelings or misperception thereof.

So you think you know more than a psychiatrist? Did you go to medical school?

The Rachel Dolezal thing is completely different. And from this post, you have made it perfectly clear that you don't think Gender Dysphoria exists, which means you think you know more than a psychiatrist
