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

Maybe it's different in America but here in Britain people are much more keyed in to those sort of things. Frankly I'm quite happy with my passport but if it had to have 'xy' written on it then I'd have to start explaining things, or alternatively come up with some cocky put-off line, either of which would make me less than happy. How can you say this is an improvement? Maybe for someone who's 'out and proud' it would be, but it's no help to those of us who just want a quiet life and are fine with things the way they are. I don't see what's wrong with M, F, or Other (if you so wish), as long as you get to change it if your birth assignment doesn't match your social identity.
