        Unfortunately, it directly contradicts science. Sex is not limited to male and female, and is in fact more of a spectrum. There are multiple variations that usually fall under the umbrella term intersex. Trans people like me aren't the only ones who will be harmed by this.

        You can have XXY, XXX, X0 and much more. It’s somewhat rare but still very much happens.

        Friendly question: might laws protecting all people be sufficient to protect trans people? "Erase" just seems like a very strong word here.

        The issue is that on legal tender, they will be forced to be identified by their sex at birth, as if it is their gender. The impact is that certain protections against discriminatory practices in the work place might be swept under the rug. Laws should protect all. These don't.

        If truth is determined by popular opinion, then Germany was totally right to get rid of the Roma and Jews because everyone hated them. Also, this policy is about access to public services, not free speech.

        It’s not illegal to be trans, but our laws make it difficult for trans to live like you and me. Have you spoken to or met one before? I hope you keep an open mind that people live differently than you do.
