So, since there aren't just 2 sexes and govts seem to want to say there are, what if govt ids simply included both chromosomal sex and preferred gender? Would that be so bad?
That would allow several things:
a) people who are not born with either typical XX or XY arrangement do not have to be treated as mutants but rather like the human beings they are
b) people owning businesses who have strong opinions that there are only two sexes can add one or more sex designations to signs on bathroom doors, etc. and people owning businesses who don't care either way can mark their doors 'men' and 'women' and be done with it.
c) medical workers can quickly and succinctly understand the physicalities of their patients, which is very important
d) going forward, bathrooms get built as individual small rooms for those who don't want to get caught up in the kerfuffle.
This solution will not solve intolerance or prejudice much like outlawing intolerance or prejudice will not solve them either. But, it would provide an agreed upon vocabulary based on science to allow everyone to like or dislike people for the results of the genetic lotto that they had no choice in to begin with and those liked or disliked folks can chose to present whatever gender they prefer.
By my tally:
* the folks not 'XX/XY' are free to be themselves and recognized by the state they live in
* the folks 'XX/XY' who feel dysphoric are free present themselves how they wish
* the folks 'XX/XY' who feel those are the only options are free to believe as they see fit and have the terminology to clearly communicate to everyone else what is allowed in the areas those folks have control of
* the folks 'XX/XY' who could not give a fuck what dangles or doesn't between others' legs are free to not have to talk about this anymore
Smells like a whole lot of freedom to me.
I just chafe at reading of yet another govt issuing another proclamation that they will be reaffirming or reinforcing that there are only two genders, the term of which is used synonymously with 'sex', when that position is just not scientific. It's like the pope trying to tell Galileo the sun rotates around the earth.
Thoughts?
