It's a terribly worded point, no doubt about it. However, the underlying criticism does still need to be addressed. Most of us recognise that at least parts of our identity aren't things we get to decide for ourselves. For example, our age and our race.

A 40-year-old man is not going to be treated like a 13-year-old just because that's how they identity. Similarly, a white woman is not going to be treated like a black woman just because that's her own self-perception.

An important question that trans people and allies need to be able to answer is why society has an obligation to treat trans people in line with their gender identity but has no obligation to treat transracial or age-fluid people in line with their self-identity.

That actually is a valid question- but at least for my understanding a persons gender identity doesn’t actually change, and is separate from sex- trans people seem to articulate a feeling of having always been identified incorrectly up until their transtiton. It takes people a long time to figure out that they are trans, but they don’t just become trans.
