Having your gender marked “x” on ID absolutely rules. It’s objectively the most punk rock thing you can have on your license.
But growing up on X-Men comics, you know that the government having a list of all the “X” people is bad news.

In Oregon, there’s no hassle to remove gender from your ID. It’s a box to check on the renewal paperwork. Anyone can just do it.
You don’t have to tell them why.
Just means you don’t feel like telling the government your gender.
Why are they entitled to that data, anyhow?

The less people tell the government their gender, the less power government databases have over the lives of trans people.
The closer we get to the list of X-people being the same as “the list of people with IDs,” the less that X is a target painted on anyone’s back.

In the comics, the Sentinels always came back, eventually. And they started off the Mutie hunt using government databases
As long as there’s a list, everyone on it is better off if it doesn’t include usable info.
Why should the government get to know who’s a mutant?

Trans people, generally, don’t have destructive superpowers, and our existence is more heavily regulated than firearms.
The federal government is prohibited from keeping digital records of how many guns are in my house. Why do they get to know how many genders we got in here?
