More academic trans claptrap, I see. Glad to see the commenters were more sensible. This libertarian FtT needs to get a grip and stop constantly shilling her skinny 208 pages of wasted-paper which hardly anyone but trans are lapping up. #315,863 in Books and #54 in Books > Gay & Lesbian > Nonfiction > Civil Rights (Amazon needs to tease out trans from LG, since they're not even close)

The book is basically an in-depth analysis on whether or not gender classification matters in society. The author looks at things like gender markers on IDs and gender segregation in public places like schools, bathrooms, and sports.
I got the book from my local library when I was first beginning to question my gender. The title caught my eye and I thought it might be able to help me sort my thoughts and feelings. It absolutely did not. This book focuses more on gender segregation in society and how it affects and hurts trans (and sometimes cis!) people. Still a good read, just be aware it's very scholarly and factual.

I suggest checking out the Book "Beyond Trans: Does Gender Matter" By: Heath Fogg Davis. Covers many of the reasons behind what you are talking about and why they are not needed or necessary.

What it comes down to for ID, IMO, saying 'sex' or 'gender' doesn't matter because in the end what they want/ are saying is 'gender' they use that marker to make assumptions about how you should look. If you do not present 'obviously' as 'M' or 'F' they can say that you are being 'deceptive' and etc. Markers on ID can be used very maliciously to discriminate against people in many ways. For one just think about what having ID stating 'F' may result in when opening an account, they will now put Ms. or Mrs. on you mail and account, refer to you as she/her during any transaction and etc without any care for these being incorrect. They will often also state that this is the only option as its 'what your ID says'.
Plus - Sex assigned at birth takes into account much more that External Sex Organs and people regardless of sex or gender can have varying sex characteristics.
