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)

    Sometimes I think we should replace gender with genre. There's lots of genres for books and music. Fantasy, dark fantasy, steampunk. Why not for humans too
