As the supporters of gender self-identification have declared, a person has rights to ask others even if the government to ignore his or her sex; also, this person can ask them to recognize him or her gender identity. However, if someone refuses to do so, especially for a female, she will be called as “TERF 1” and be attacked by trans rights activists, verbally or physically.
Globally, a number of governments, public institutions, and NGOs are trying to force people to recognize and refer to individuals based on their “gender identity”. Meanwhile, those who tend to believe one’s sex rather than gender identity will be facing backlashes such as cancel culture.
