This is going a step further than what I always thought as being unnecessary: having your sex on ID and passport.
I don't see any real reason why this is still required, or why it matter that the sex of a person be present on an ID document.
The purpose of the ID is to identify the bearer. Most ID are now biometric, meaning the identification relies on unchanged physical features, like geometric relationships of the face.
A simple photo should be enough to confirm the ID of the bearer.

- Renaud 5y agoThat's a pretty narrow view of the purpose of an ID card... If only there were other ways of knowing how to differentiate people when it's really necessary, you know, for medical or justified legal reasons.
- lmnop1234 5y agoEasy peasy. They can determine that during the strip search. A piece of paper strikes me as a less accurate method at this point in time.
- tasogare 5y agoGreat idea. Then we can finally stop counting men and women in all occupations as those counts are used as the basis of sexist policies.

- jollybean 5y agoGender is an inexorable part of our identities, and almost everyone is completely fine with that. The more interesting question is why do people think they need to turn social systems on their heads to suit their little ideologies? I can definitely understand somehow wanting to help those who might have issues with gender, but these movements go far beyond that.
