Why do you believe this is the same sort of thing as changing a name, phone number or job title?

There is a discrepancy too in that most people who think this idea should apply to sex don't extend it to other immutable characteristics like race. Rachel Levine was celebrated for calling himself a woman, Rachel Dolazel was pilloried for calling herself black.

He, and the management of Twitter at the time, should have extended tolerance to those who don't share his belief that men can become women by self-decree.
