why do we even have legal genders anyway. maybe we should not have those
i don’t want to self-declare myself to fit in a specific box. i want to undeclare myself. it’s none of your business. why does anyone need to know that
i don’t think a third option / specific undeclared opt-out works in a hostile society, either. like, oh good, i’ve given myself the Freak label, that won’t cause any problems. i think we need to rethink why gender is considered basic identity information that has to be included anywhere. what purpose does this serve. why should ANY of us be providing this to strangers. i don’t want a different gender marker on my ID i want there not to be gender markers on my ID in the first place
even biologically, we’d learn a lot more about the humans if we ignored gender as a basis - fat distribution, muscle mass, mental and physical activity, hormones, calorie/nutrient levels, personal biomes (there’s more than just the gut biome) - so many things matter way more than gender and few are that clear cut
our reproductive system is only one system and hardly the most important
