Reply to comment by VFequalsVeryFcked in New York residents who don't want to choose a gender can now choose "X" as a gender marker on a New York State license by maxcrazy

Maybe to hlp identify people when they're running from police

Their name, address, and photo isn't enough?

Officer 1: "Oh, this person has the same name and address, and the photo looks like them. But they said they're male and the licence says female".

Officer 2: "We obviously have the wrong person. I guess the criminal got away."

There are plenty of places where the driving licence does not include their gender and the police have no more difficulties proving it's them than place who include it.

Plus, anybody can now just get an "X" instead of a gender, so how is that different?
