I think that this notion that people can be whatever they want and whatever they feel like at any given day is dangerous notion.
For us humans to be able to coexist as a society we need to have boundaries, rules and yes, definitions and labels. And yes, I know this seem to contradict the notion of "freedom" but to live as a society we can never be entirely "free", for example: We are not free to go around killing whatever we want, we are not free to go around slapping people on the streets, we are not free to enter whatever house (or location) we want, we are not free to go around ignoring the traffic lights, etc etc etc
What I'm getting at here is that there are physical and legal consequences linked to the notions of "male" and "female" person. And many of the laws currently in place stem from the fact that male and female bodies are built differently. Just some examples: 1) A man and a woman get into a fight and usually the male is the one who goes to jail. But if said man starts saying that he is really a woman then things change. 2) A man commits a crime and is gonna be sent to a male-prison, but if all of a sudden he says that he is really a woman then the jury is gonna have to consider sending him to a female-prison. 3) When a couple get divorced usually the man is forced to pay alimony to the woman but again, things are gonna change if all of a sudden the guy says that he is really a woman.
Then we have sports. Who can compete with who? you cannot have a biological male person boxing, wrestling, running, weight lifting, etc with a biological female.
And these are just a few examples of the top of my head. I'm sure there will be MANY instances where some ill-intentioned people are going to find ways to bend the laws to get away with things.
So, to wrap things up, I have no problem with people calling themselves whatever they want to call themselves and using whatever pronouns they want to use on themselves as long as it doesnt affect me. But when your freedom start conflicting with my own freedom, then we need to sit down and define our boundaries. And no, I don't think people going around saying: Ok, yesterday I was "X", today I feel "Y" and tomorrow I may or may not feel "A" is ever going to work legally speaking.
So yes, as much as I hate governments intervening in our lives, I think they are going to have to sit down and properly define what we really are biologically, physically, psychologically and legally speaking.
