@syhr very on the fence about this. recognizing it is good, but maybe they shouldn't force people to put their gender marker in passports, thus indirectly making an entire data directory of nonbinary people in the uk...this can only get ugly

@mynameistillian @syhr potentially it could be uncomfortable, but it will only become a non issue when it is common.

@columbduffy @mynameistillian @syhr
from what I am reading this wouldn't necessarily mean you are required to update the gender-marker if you identify with this; Many of us will still just have the gender-marker that was assigned at birth
at least, if it's anything like how Germany and others implemented it -
@syhr@social.coop question, is there anything stopping me from saying I'm british and putting in some random british postcode

@columbduffy @syhr tbh i am worried of a scenario where a bigoted administration comes to power somehow and then uses this data against the minorities

@syhr@social.coop @alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work I see. Thanks for your insight

@mynameistillian @syhr far point. I didn’t consider how passports are used for travel to potentially unsafe destinations in this context.
Still, it’d be good to provide the choice.

@mynameistillian @syhr it's not mandatory like in Germany, or indeed the US when they had it. So you can choose not have an X marker.
So not sure where 'forcing' comes from?

@radioclash @syhr just kinda assumed that's the case, pardon me
but i still am wary of government collecting such info

I support this, and not just for non-binary. I'm cis-female and have long resented being forced to announce it in circumstances where my gender should be irrelevant.
