        About time. Now let’s maybe leave it at three. That is accurate, scientifically speaking.

        Gender is not scientifically speaking. That would be sex. Both terms are used interchangeably but they are the same thing.

        Excellent news. I fully support this, if it helps those people who need it. I must however ask them to double check before ordering this if they want to travel to some countries by airlines who still use M/F. If the gender does not match the ticket is invalid. Check w/ airline!

        Having your gender on the passport in the first place solves what problem if your name and picture are already there?

        Well if youre a threat to national security, more information is better than less.
