Australia, the country I live in, has an official passport that has for Sex: the valid responses M | F | X.

The reason for that is the actual verifiable existance of people who were born here clearly, scientifically, medically as neither M NOR F.

They are valid exceptions to the above quote from the Nye program and there are enough people born this way to number in the thousands in a country of some ~ 23 milllion or so.

The passport system was changed as a citizen of this country fronted and objected to having enter M or F when they were born clearly neither.

As someone with a science background who measures and models reality I approve of systems that track the world and its elements as it is and as they are .. rather than models that force a world view that doesn't match reality.
