If more cisgendered/non-LGBTQ people adopt it for privacy reasons, that could helpfully shield LGBTQ people who might face persecution for having it on their passport in other countries. So maybe a feature, not a bug?
- pyuser583 5y agoI can’t imagine a situation where a bigoted foreign police officer is going to say “oh this person is probably just a privacy oriented civil libertarian, not some <insert horrible name for sexual minority>.” I just can’t imagine that happening. I could imagine a situation in, say, Saudi Arabia where I need to prove in male in order to, say, drive a car. And not being able to do so could get me in a world of trouble.
