    Agreed. What does it matter? That’s my name, photo, height, and weight. That’s me. Don’t look at my junk.

    Btw I am not trans, I just believe in the right of my fellow countryfolk to choose how they want to live without persecution, like a true patriot should.

    This is why I always use the more mysterious “partner” instead of boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/etc.

    Well, the reason it’s on there is the same reason as height, eye color, hair color, etc. To aid in identification.

      But outward indicators (gender) are performative and not biologically determined like sex is. And unless you’re dropping trow when you’re pulled over for a ticket, sex doesnt aid in identification.

      and if that’s the case, it should be about self declared presentation, not the gender assigned at birth.

      following paragraph deserves hate, so if you comment to complain I agree with you:

      if it was actually to help with identification, then at worse it should be the gender that the DMV clerk thinks you are, and include options for androgynous. as it’s based on how someone is seen. (I 100% agree that it is bullshit, but trying to clarify how using agab makes no sense)

        Sometimes I think we should replace gender with genre. There’s lots of genres for books and music. Fantasy, dark fantasy, steampunk. Why not for humans too

      As a person who wears clothes, how could sex possibly help with identification? My sex organs are not visible in public.
