I'm not sure how I feel about this. Part of me is thinking, yes, good idea - the other part of me is thinking, hhmm, wouldn't it be better to add 'third gender/transgendered' as an alternative to male or female. Either way, it would definitely represent an improvement but, still...

Thoughts anyone?

You would be assuming that those people identify as a third gender or transgendered. I think it's better to get rid of it.

If they are really concerned with making sure it's the right person they should do like they do for licenses here in california and take a finger print. That would be a far more accurate way of making sure it is the correct person then having to have a sex category!
