lol dailyfail. Honestly yeah, there's no reason to put gender on identification documents in the first place. If the photo matches the face, that's really all that matters.

The proposal to remove gender details from an individuals passport will further fuel the identity crisis that is already a significant issue for so many in our country.
OMG, if the U.S. was to remove gender from our passports, I don't know what I'd do. I'd feel so lost and confused. Who am I? Where am I? Did I leave the gas on? See! I can't even remember if I left the gas on. It's only going to snowball from here folks. Soon we'll be rolling around the lawn butt-naked and not wearing any sunscreen while mooing like cows. At least cows know what gender they are!



AAAAAAH!

Britain is preparing to rip up centuries-old rules by introducing passports which do not contain details of the holder’s sex.

Wait, I'm supposed to be upset about this? Old doesn't equal good, you fuckwaffles. I also didn't realize passports have existed for centuries, but that's probably the fault of my silly ladybrainz.

Exactly. Somewhere in my cupboard there are beans from 1990, that doesn't mean I'm going to eat them

We live in a free country and this has enabled a small number of people to define themselves transgender, but their reproductive organs show what is their actual gender. Another tiny proportion are born with "ambiguous genitalia" where post-birth tests have to be carried out to identify the dominant gender. Most doctors advise early surgical and hormonal intervention for the sake of establishing the child's gender identity and sense of belonging in society. A third group suffer from a rare gender-identity-disorder where they feel that they are the opposite sex to the one they were born.

In all these cases the gender can be established, whether an individual likes it or not. We have nothing to gain by introducing more uncertainty into identity. A country that persists in making its laws based on relativism and feelings will become weak, vulnerable and freedom will be lost not gained.

I cannot express how ill this makes me.
Go jump off a bridge, you ignorant twat waffle.
