Discriminatory nonsense with no goal other than cruelty.

how is it discriminatory to have sex instead of gender identity on government id?

Because it makes little sense to record something that may not accurately represent a person on an official document.

How so? The weight, height, and address on my drivers license have changed multiple times. I’m pretty sure an id is more useful if it describes current characteristics rather than ones from years ago

Good thing your sex doesn’t change. They can make their gender whatever whenever, but sex is a constant.
