Today Matthew I will be a woman! Today I will identify as (fill in the blanks).Sorry, no. A is A. The law of Identity holds. The law of non contradiction holds regardless and irrespective of your wishes, desires, whims, caprices. Don't look to the law to alter reality for you. It should not and in a sane world would not.
But, are we in a sane world? Silly question. In a world or at least the Western one because elsewhere illiberal though they mostly are such nonsense would not be entertained for a minute, objective reality has taken an indefinite vacation. In our post modernist world all bets are off, reality is subjective, the primacy of consciousness rules and you can effectively assert with a straight face that 1 and 1 is 3 - because you want it to be and if any dare challenge you on this it is they who will be in the dock -sometimes literally so topsy turvy Alice in Wonderland is the world we now inhabit.
Words mean what we want them to mean. It's a mixed up muddle up world la la Lola.Rebel rebel, against reality, not sure if he's a boy or a girl - or how about gender neutral?
Unless the West asserts that A is indeed A it will drown in a post modernist world of super subjectivism and won't be able to tell its ass from its elbow. A bit like now really. Mind how you -or some gender neutral pronoun, go.
