In 2015, in response to the United Kingdom Ministry of Justice refusing to allow people to have a nonbinary legal gender, one person observed:		Although it is used everywhere, legal gender is gradually becoming an irrelevant part of identification papers, as there are now better ways to determine whether someone is who they say they are, and because laws are gradually coming to apply in the same or more similar ways to people regardless of their legal genders.

	The survey respondent pointed out that legal gender is coming to have little importance. It could be useful if we could phase out legal gender as a common part of identity documents. Some [[Feminism#Trans-feminism\|trans-feminist]] groups campaign for birth certificates to stop recording [[sex]] (gender assigned at birth), arguing that since a person's [[gender identity]] can't be determined at birth, it shouldn't be recorded at that point. Legal gender is usually based on that recorded in birth certificates.		The survey respondent pointed out that legal gender is coming to have little importance.
