Sure - that's fine, as long as we're not saying that equal rights under the law is contingent upon the whims and subjectivity of a person's personal prejudices.

In other words - should Caitlyn Jenner be allowed to identify as a woman, under the law? Or should we hold some type of special court to adjudicate whether or not we will allow Caitlyn to be identified as "female" on her driver's license, based on whether we think she's lying or not?
