Intersex people exist. They're rare, sure, but they do exist.

And all right, on looking, the licenses do say "sex", but I'm pretty sure people wanting these changes are intending it to be closer to gender. Perhaps the term on the license should be changed, to make it more clear.

Or, perhaps we should we shouldn't wage war on reality on behalf of a tiny sliver of the population.
