Why would you need to determine their sex?
- dolni 5y agoBecause girls and women are targets of sex trafficking? Now you give abusers the ability to get travel documents with an "X" which makes them harder to spot. There seems to be this attitude taking hold whereby people who are (probably) overwhelmingly young and ignorant challenge everything they consider "not progressive". Clearly all the people who came before us were a bunch of idiots, so how could they possibly do anything right? It's an arrogant hubris. I say that as someone who is only in their mid 30s. What I have come to realize is that everything people do (including those things I consider stupid, like organized religion) has a purpose. Once in a while the justification is weak. But if you find yourself wanting to eliminate some social practice because you think it's stupid and can't possibly comprehend why we would do a thing, that's a sign of ignorance. Only after you understand the purpose can you start to talk about whether something is actually still useful.

- klyrs 5y ago> Now you give abusers the ability to get travel documents with an "X" which makes them harder to spot. This assumes an overwhelming adoption of the X gender marker. I don't think that's a reasonable assumption; I'd expect the number of folks who do adopt an X gender maker to be an incredibly tiny and easy-to-spot minority.
