OP is about as coherant in their veiws and assessments as a piece of Jackson Pollock impression art stay within the lines.

Why do you get to answer my question with another question instead of clarifying my question with an answer?

 Also, where is the 'Moral' part in your example of a person's gender identity?

You didn't answer the question either.

It's immoral to counterfeit without permission but if life is subjective like you say then you don't need permission to do anything and there is no right or wrong.

You can tell everybody you're an atheist or a klingon because there's no such thing as a lie but it's fiction because there is.

Where did Peebo-Thuhlu say life is subjective?

So to paraphrase;

"You didn't therefore I don't have to either."

Nice.

You keep using words. I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.

"Immoral" and "Counterfeit"? What?

I don't tell everyone I'm an "Atheist". I don't got round seeking people out for such things, either.

I tell the people that ask me that I'm a "Nontheist".

So there is that.

Correct me if I'm wrong..but even in a subjective world..you might still need permission for a thing. Isn't that how cartels work?

Right, wrong, legal, illegal..whatever, pay me.

There may be a good example of a difference between an objectivist and subjectivist worlds....but it seems like the permission example could be true in either and without respect to the condition of either.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Why would you need permission in a subjective world?

Doesn't it defeat the whole purpose of being subjective?

You probably mean that you want life to be subjective for you but not others.

It's a good way to get away with rape etc.
