    that sentence is not only valid for gender, it’s for anything other cultural label (like genders are).

    How about race? Can white people elect to be Black?

        Are you aware of a good rebuttal to the comment you replied to? It tends to trip me up as even through it’s often presented in bad faith, our concept of race is mostly cultural too isn’t it? It feels like they’re different somehow, but I can’t articulate the reason why and so it’s like I’ve stumbled into a “gotcha”.
