I was originally going to ask how many legal genders there should be, but I fail to see a compelling argument against 0.

    You can't just declare yourself as someone making sense lol


    Reiterate your point: give me an example where having gender on a licence is helpful.

    I reject your previous example because the police looking for a trans woman would know it's a trans woman they're looking for. Having that info on the licence doesn't help them at all.

    Nah I'm good. I don't think youre arguing in good faith.

    I’ve stated multiple points in multiple different comments that bring this out of the realm of examples you brought us into.

    Both law-enforcement examples were yours. All I've asked for is one where a printed gender field helps, meaning it tells an officer something they couldn't get from the photo, the police record, or the dispatch description. You said there were "more than enough examples", gave two (which I reject), and declined a third.

    You acknowledge police work from the information on their computer systems. Gender can be recorded there without being printed on ID, and neither example gets from "recorded" to "printed". Your rule that more identifiers make a more effective ID only holds for identifiers that add something.

    My question was why it needs to be on a licence. You still haven't answered that.
