Why identify gender at all?

they'll know who to enslave and force to bear the rich white people's babies.

But it still doesn't answer the question of why should it be required at all when it serves no useful purpose.

Just because something has always been done doesn't justify why it needs to continue. Any system of control which can't continuously justify itself should be dismantled.

When obtaining an ID.

It just seems reasonable to have gender listed, if for no other reason to make things easier for people who card the public.

How can such data make things any easier on anyone? It's useless information. The requirement becomes particularly insidious when you consider some states are going to use that information to arbitrarily discriminate against those who may identify differently than what's listed on their birth certificate.

their lives the way they wish....

Tired of the republican attacks.

Culturally, they're closer to recognizing it's a multitude of spectra.
