Again, laws are not supposed to be selectively applied. If they can put ‘man’ or ‘woman’ on any form, so can anyone else. Or do you think they need some sort of confirmation by a doctor before they’re allowed to fill out any sort of government forms?
And so what if they do? Nobody is throwing you in jail for selecting the “wrong” box. And if there is some special program you’re defrauding… well… treating people differently on this in the law isn’t part of my philosophy.
Yea, you can put down whatever you want on government forms. That’s no mystery. Whether people at large accept you as that what you claim is on them. The government isn’t an arbiter of reality any more than you are.
We are talking about gender here. Gender is only identical with sex if the person so chooses to identify that way. If you think that’s “the way it’s done now,” you have been listening to too much conservative media.
The fact that you don’t understand all of this does not speak well of you.
We’re talking about both. Gender was traditionally identical to sex and this issue didn’t come up much till relatively recently. Outliers, like people born with both sets of organs, were just that. To be consistent with this philosophy, race must also now be done as “whoever identifies as such”. After all, it’s just as much of a societal construct.

Oh, so you can be whatever gender you want? We agree.

Now you’re admitting that gender is a subjective thing based on societal norms. Which is the point.
Yea, but sex isn’t. And the way it’s done now is that gender is invoked as identical to sex when it’s beneficial and rebuked when it’s not.

Anyone who understands the subject understand that gender and sex are completely different.
Which is why there are multiple societies with more than two genders.

Again, your archaic Anglo/Eurocentric, heteronormative idea of how the way things are supposed to be is not how the world works on an objective level.
