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

"Biological sex" says jack shit about a trans person's biological characteristics, especially deep into transition. It's more often than not a dogwhistle that transphobes use to imply that trans women have the same violent sexual tendencies as many cis men, and to imply that those characteristics are somehow immutable.

The state does not need to get involved in a medical discussion between a trans patient and their doctor.

    • you're trans
    • you're involved in an accident
    • you're unconscious
    • EMTs administer medication at levels that a woman can handle depending on body fat composition and hormonal fluctuations
    • being a genetic male, you die because you lack the increased body fats and estrogen that was assumed in dosage

    I get your point, but it's important to have your gender somewhere on a trustworthy source that everybody has.
