It's just proof of identity after all, having an ID card isn't about conveying a political message. If I want to do that I'll wear a t-shirt.

Like I said it's an Improvement on just having M or F. It is a government acknowledging that there is more than just one gender or sex.
It's moving forward. They will see there is MORE room to improve and take more steps in the future. We may have won a dump of swamp and landfill in our battle but beyond that is fertile pasture!
Personally I think that what's in my pants stays in my pants till I'm ready to share it with someone.
I don't feel like sharing what's in my pants with the guy that sells me porn/smokes/beer etc.
Obviously when people see me they make their own judgments about what I am. Most people see me as male. A lot of people see me as being very feminine, which I am.
I get treated very well where I work with the drag queens I do makeup on. They treat me the way I want to be treated. They've seen my shirt off and seen me flat chested on the dance floor but they've also seen how great I look in a skirt and I do walk like a woman.
They've never seen my ID, I've confidently used both washrooms and if they ever saw my ID and saw that solid F there I would never show my face there again. I'd get put into "that" box. They would have conclusive proof of my assigned birth sex and I know I'd have to stop being there.
Most people forget which X goes where and what Y means after X. Just because the chromosomes say one thing could mean the sex says another could mean anything according to an uneducated person, so they would not label me female who looks like male if they saw any combo of chromosomes an I'd feel safe. I'd just say "told you I'm special, and no, you'll never know."
My solution is scraping the F off of my paper passport and birth certificates. Sure it looks suspicious but hey...worth it!
