Not really. He "says" he's woman but his legal status is that of a man.
If they were serious you'd think they'd have taken steps to be recognised as their chosen gender? No.
If it was a case of wanting a different name, you wouldn't expect to be officially recognised by your chosen nickname in any court/prison/legal matter unless you'd taken steps to officially change the name on your records?
In a perfect world we could take people at face value, but then that opens up a can of worms that's difficult to close.
