You cannot put down both or none on any government form that does not consider gender to be a non-biological thing.
Laws are not supposed to be selectively applied. If they can put down whichever one they choose, you are admitting your definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ do not apply to how society works.
I know “the exception that proves the rule” is a fun phrase, but it’s not actually how things work.
Again, laws are not supposed to be selectively applied. If they can put ‘man’ or ‘woman’ on any form, so can anyone else. Or do you think they need some sort of confirmation by a doctor before they’re allowed to fill out any sort of government forms?

Intersex. And there are more of them than trans people per 100k, I believe. Yet somehow they’re never brought up.
Many (maybe most?) end up getting some type of gender-affirming surgery very early on, but not always. And who knows, going forward.

I have never seen “hermaphrodite” on any government form. What do they put down?

Oh, so you can be whatever gender you want? We agree.

If intersex people are an edge case, then so are trans people.
And yet…
