to elaborate: every piece of demographic information recorded on your passport is designed to deny you rights, not grant them. nationality? denies entry to countries that don't match it. age? denies access to products, services, and locations that the state deems inappropriate. sex? denies... wait a moment, why is this information written here? race and sexuality aren't, so why sex? so when TERFs talk about "defending sex-based rights", not only are they referring to something that has no legal precedent (rights are not "sex-based") - they're also defending the state's power to deny rights based on the "sex" marker in your ID.
