    Well, what is the function of having sex/gender on an ID? It’s to make someone more identifiable, right?

    That means that “verification” only needs to be visual. The purpose is to be able to tell, at a glance, that the ID and the person are a match. That’s why eye color and height are on there too. Precise record keeping is for the court house and hospital records, not a driver’s license.

    By using sex and making that unchangeable it actually makes my ID less useful for identifying me.

        Then they’d get harassed by cops for having a suspected fake ID and have to go through the trouble of proving its their actual ID.

        Like I am going to be when we get a law like this.
