Full stop. When you can use "gender" and "sex" correctly, then we can discuss substantive issues. You're not using it right, and I just don't have the time to deal with other issues with someone who can't get the basics right.The question is whether to make it public. Even with this change, they are doing the record keeping. The government knows the gender designation, and is taking accurate measurements. They are making it harder for another citizen to find out what gender someone is. Why are you entitled to know someone else's gender?
Perhaps you are projecting some fear of where this eventually leading, but if we limit it to this particular change, it seems to increase someone's liberty to tell the government they cannot publicize this information about you.
Why are you entitled to find out what gender someone is biologically? If they have gender based dismorphia (like the legend about Jamie Lee Curtis), are you entitled to this information too? Are you entitled to know the race and religion of the parents? Are you entitled to know the political orientation of the parents, assuming they are educators in Florida?
Check your manual and your playbook for further instructions. I'm through with the conversation. I've been doing this for over twenty-five years, having debates about feminism and LGBTQ+ issues, and I really just do not have the time for activist crap from someone who can't use the two terms correctly.
Peace.
