not everyone has a gender, so at best it should be an optional marker for those who consent. but also gender is not always a good method of identification because not everyone passes as their gender people can just lie about their gender to get fake id birthdate, place, and full name should be sufficient id and if they are not, add a uuid in the mix. no need for gender really, which just complicates things. of course alternative is not to use sex for id, but no one except bigots is asking for that. but also, i believe that many places, such as that whichs nationality i hold, say sex on the id, but effectively treat it as gender, at which point it’s really just semantic
