Pronouns these days are a new battleground, as recommendations admonish us all that the standard English pronouns, which traditionally distinguish she from he, him from her, are discriminatory and must now be reassigned or reinvented upon request.
Still, it's worth asking: By changing nouns and pronouns, is one changing one's sex? If I force you to refer to me as he when all anatomical and biological signs indicate I'm a she, have I thereby consolidated a new identity? Does saying it make it so? But then, if physical reality has no traction, why should a "woman" get outraged at the uninvited display of a "penis" in one setting (such as a late-night meeting in a hotel room), but not at precisely the same intrusion in another setting (say, a bathroom or shower room now accessible to all those who "identify as female")?
Comment: Who would have approved (or demanded) the change?
