Only tangentially related rant. Sorry.

I do like the idea of getting an x gender marker on my official id, as that also kinda feels like the "none of your fucking business" marker. It moves you closer to gender being just a social factor. The non-specificity working in its favour there. I won't change it because there is no option to do it selectively, and having a passport with an x is really inconvenient.

I feel like gender and even sex at this point is almost fully obsolete. Really the only reason to keep using them as constructs is because they are being used as constructs, and that needs to be resolved first. And yeah, there's a lot of other social classes and constructs that need to be dealt with. There needs to be an overarching change, not just "let's not use gender anymore but essentially keep everything the same"

Sorry for rambling

well said!
