Considering how muddied the definition of "gender" has become, it may be beneficial to remove them from these documents just for the sake of avoiding the very conversations happening in this thread.
I believe that psychologically - you are whatever gender you feel you are. I can refer to a male as a female if they so wish it, and if that's the identity they've chosen. The mentality is what's important. From a physical standpoint, should this same person choose to have a sex change operation, he's just a male with mutilated genitals. I guess what I'm saying is; it's impossible to truly change your sex. But out of respect for those with complex identities, gender is something that shouldn't have to be observed.
