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

    That’s not a legal definition, your document also doesn’t have the hair color, and yet you used that in your description. Not to mention people are known to change their hair color at will without having to communicate it to the government, why should gender be any different?

      because you can’t change you biological hair color.

      at least without surgery. and you can’t change your sex without surgery either

        Exactly, you can’t change your biological hair color, and you can’t change your biological sex, so they’re the same. So why are people making a big fuzz about one and not the other? you shouldn’t need to inform the government about cosmetics treatments to change the apparence of either.

          beaus some people such intense idealists and they don’t think biology should exist because they find it political or socially upsetting.

          like for them, the concept of saying males produce sperm and females eggs, is offense and harmful and evil. so it shouldn’t exist and we should stop saying that, because intersex and sterile people exist and they are ‘excluded’ from our evil biological sex language.

            Biology exist whether you or anyone likes it or not. The question here is whether the government should track your biological characteristics, and if so which characteristics and why.
