But outward indicators (gender) are performative and not biologically determined like sex is. And unless you're dropping trow when you're pulled over for a ticket, sex doesnt aid in identification.

and if that's the case, it should be about self declared presentation, not the gender assigned at birth.

following paragraph deserves hate, so if you comment to complain I agree with you:

if it was actually to help with identification, then at worse it should be the gender that the DMV clerk thinks you are, and include options for androgynous. as it's based on how someone is seen. (I 100% agree that it is bullshit, but trying to clarify how using agab makes no sense)

Ah yes, hair color, so good for identification and hard to spoof. Seriously, the picture is all it takes.

And yet, from the beginning of time we have stories of people who used that erroneous assumption to avoid detection/identification.

Take a random group of people such as a Live Television Audience, have them all put on gray sweats in their size. Hood up or down by choice. Have your local cop arrange them in order from most feminine to most masculine, first facing away (as in pursuit) and then face front.

You're gonna have a few truly surprising outliers and a lot of pissed-off people in the middle areas but not where they want.

That's why you used the cop. Everyone hates them already and can restore their own feelings by disregarding their opinions.

Do you not know about hair coloring, lifts, colored contacts, etc.?

As a person who wears clothes, how could sex possibly help with identification? My sex organs are not visible in public.

I don't know it would be any more useful than the photo though
