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

So that people with an M on their passport can do obligatory military service

(Yes, I am salty about this, how'd you know?)

((Also I think that's the only remaining way in which people with an M or an F are treated differently where I live so at least we're making some progress I guess))

(((Oh also they need it to more effectively grope trans people at airport security)))

    Denmark made the military service mandatory for women too this year.

    I don't know of any legal differences at this point.

    There's still plenty of differences but not from a legal perspective.

    Like, maternity leave is longer than paternity leave, but that's not due to gender, but rather who is pregnant. For instance if a lesbian couple has a child, only one of them can have maternity leave, while the co-parent gets the equivalent to paternity leave.

    Also, men aren't screened for breast cancer and vice versa for prostate check-ups. I don't think that's done on a legal basis though, it's just a healthcare service aimed at different demographics. Anyone can request a prostate check or mammography and get it if the doctor finds it necessary.

    Changing rooms at public swimming facilities are separated by gender, but they often also have a third room which is for families with small children, people with handicaps or anyone else who don't want to or can't use the public showers.

    "Miss, I can confirm you still do NOT have a prostate. Please, stop coming here. This is very inappropriate"
