The Netherlands is removing gender altogether from its national ID cards --https://www.livemint.com/news/world/dutch-id-cards-will-soon-omit-gender-says-minister-11593877554039.html …
In a 2011 report @HRW recommended the govt to: "Explore ways to grant legal recognition to the gender identity of trans ppl whose gender identity is neither male nor female, including removing the gender marker on the documents of gender variant people." https://www.hrw.org/report/2011/09/13/controlling-bodies-denying-identities/human-rights-violations-against-trans-people …pic.twitter.com/OTNFV7PiqE
In 2018, the IE-SOGI, @victor_madrigal, said: “The notion that there is a gender norm, from which certain gender identities ‘vary’ or ‘depart’ is based on a series of preconceptions that must be challenged if all humankind is to enjoy human rights.” https://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/73/152 …
As the IE-SOGI noted, the necessity of recording gender on official documents should be scrutinized --pic.twitter.com/dpm3iM5GN8

This thread could go on forever but while on the topic of how sex/gender ended up on documents in the first place, check out @SLAwrites incisive piece on how 1970s American fashion trends got us M, F, and eventually X on our passports:https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-rise-of-androgyny-changed-our-passports …
I think it's insane
This is absolutely awesome! (and some perspective for the sceptics: Germany doesn't list gender in its compulsory national ID cards for at least 16 years now, probably more)
