less adding a third gender option on IDs and more getting rid of gender markers entirely please

the biggest reason why gender markers should be done away with instead of being modified is that a nonbinary gender marker X will out trans people and could be used to harm or exclude them. the gender marker should be done away with to make the world safer for trans people, especially trans women. so yeah this post isn’t for TERFs.

And no, doctors usually actually do not need to know your assigned at birth gender either. The only time they might “need” it, is if something is directly wrong with say your ovaries or your prostate. In those instances they just need to know it’s an organ in your body so yeah.

Do away with gender markers, there’s never a reason people need your gender anyways (not the cops, not the bouncer at the bar, not even the security at the airport really needs that information).

Doing away with gender markers on ID’s keeps trans and nb folk much safer, and is not the same as ‘doing away with gender’.
