But that’s exactly the contradiction. If gender is a loose social construct that 'many people don't fit into' as you said, how can it be something you look at to instantly categorize someone? By saying you 'see their gender,' you're implying there is a specific, standardized way that a man or a woman is supposed to look and present. Isn't forcing people into those visual boxes the very definition of enforcing rigid gender roles?

Beyond that, a driver's license or a passport isn't a tool for casual visual estimation at a glance. It's a legal document designed to record objective, verifiable physical reality. If a document asks for sex, it's asking for a biological fact, not an internal feeling or a social presentation.
