I was originally going to ask how many legal genders there should be, but I fail to see a compelling argument against 0.

    We don’t.

    Here in Germany one of the few good things that came out of our previous federal government was the SBGG, which - among other things - allows you to delete the entry. And before anyone points it out: I’m aware it isn’t perfect.

      nothing has to be perfect. it just has to work sufficiently well.

      the idea of just being able to leave the field blank, is a simple enough solution, but it won’t appease the extremists.

      personally i like being able to put ‘unspecified’ in the gender/sex field of things. it’s a lot more elegant than the 50+ gender identities that are ‘available’ now.
