My view on that stuff is pretty simple, when ur a consenting adult you can do whatever you want to your body and go by whatever names you want including legal changes. What you can’t do is mandate other people to respect your changes. That being said, are you an asshole if you don’t respect how someone wants to be treated? Absolutely, but you have a right to be an asshole in America and I wouldn’t want it any other way

Tesla door handles face NHTSA scrutiny
Tesla door handles can fail from the inside, but the NHTSA probe will examine the mechanism from the outside as well.
The NHTSA said it is investigating the Tesla door handles after receiving reports of parents being unable to open the doors of their vehicles with children trapped inside.
“The most commonly reported scenarios involved parents exiting the vehicle after a drive cycle in order to remove a child from the back seat or placing a child in the back seat before starting a drive cycle. In those events, the parents were unable to reopen a door to regain access to the vehicle,” the NHTSA said.
The NHTSA has received over 140 consumer complaints about doors on various Tesla models getting stuck, not opening, or malfunctioning since 2018.
At least four parents in the NHTSA investigation were forced to break the vehicle’s back window to access it.
The NHTSA says its initial review suggests that the issue appears to arise when the electronic door locks don’t receive enough voltage from the vehicle.
The agency reports that repair invoices indicate the affected vehicles had their low-voltage batteries replaced after the incidents. Still, none of the owners reported seeing a low-voltage battery warning before the door handles failed.
In September, Bloomberg reported on how dangerous Tesla’s fully concealed door handles could be if the vehicle lost power after a crash.
“Tesla engineers went wildly in the direction of automation and overlooked what happens to the human body after a crash,” Charles Mauro, founder of Mauro Usability Science, a New York consulting firm that specializes in human factors engineering, told Bloomberg.
“Musk’s idea is a computer on wheels, but the design of the door locks was overlooked.”
