How is having your biological sex on an Id card a violation of your rights? Shouldn't they be accurate as possible?

There's no laws in America about how one dresses and presents themselves as long as its not a false identity.

Anyways, weren't you just arguing that IDs shouldn't even be required for trivial inconsequential stuff like voting?

Why not just list chromosomes?

I mean, descriptive information on an ID isn't used for like tying someones appearance to their name or anything, right?

So it makes sense for the news to say something like "the police are searching for a female suspect 5'9" " despite them looking similar to the person in rpearl's example.

That description will really help the public identify or be on the look out for that female, right?
