As the BJP heads for a likely third successive term in power, it's fascinating to debate how true it looks to the original proposition: a party with a difference.
Self identification itself is unscientific. There has never been any valid science to back that gender identity is fluid and one could self identify. The only established science is that sex is determined by the chromosome (XX or XY) and gender comes from the brain depending on the ratio of grey to white matter. And this cannot change rapidly over a few hours or days so there is absolutely no science to back the claims for self identification.
Besides there are major risks to self identification. If it gets accepted then a man can enter a woman’s restroom claiming to identify as a woman and a woman can enter a man’s restroom, a man would be able to get free alcohol or entries into pubs that have gender-based entry/pricing (which itself is a bad practice and is banned in some progressive US states: California, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) simply by identifying as a woman, or worse tomorrow trans people will demand that being misgendered is an offence exactly like how it happened in Canada. And since gender is self identification then one could identify as different genders at different periods of time and anyone who misgenders them would be penalized. Ofcourse, these are a few examples but there are many issues that arise from accepting the pseudoscience of “self identification” and gender fluidity.
