Before I start my little rant, I want to speak to the liberals in the wall. I am not, nor have I ever been, a sovcit. Anarchists and sovcits share a resentment for these documents, but that's where the resemblance ends.

I'm a prominent union organizer within my industry (tech) and was recently extended the offer to travel to California to represent my union at a conference next month. I love going to union conferences, so of course I accepted. That's when I remembered that my passport is expired by a couple years, and I further realized that I don't have a real id. So now I need to get a new passport.

I decided that I want a passport card along with my book, because a card would be easier to carry for this conference. This shit is expensive! $130 for renewal, $30 for the card, and $60 for the expedited processing. $220 total. I fucking hate that I need to register with the government to travel. I fucking hate that I need to surrender my privacy to this fascist regime. I fucking hate that my only option for fast travel is by plane. I fucking hate borders.

Absolutely agree, the only context where anything even remotely associated with gender should be on official documents is medical, and hormone is more important in that situation than sex assignment anyway. Medical biobanks will remain a point of stigmatism until we abolish the state.

plus there non binary and intersex ppl too, the med docs only should have hormone to get proper medical care, age but not date of birth is do nothing, but there are a loot different values between age in bloodwork etc etc
