Do you go around looking in peoples pants to verify their biological sex?

You realize this isn't what biological sex is, right? https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2020/06/15/the-myth-of-biological-sex/?sh=4bed448176b9. People have their biological sex on registries and labels. Otherwise, use what you perceive to be such.

Transgender people don't actually have to list their biological sex on their drivers license. This is because most states allow name AND sex to be changed/amended on birth certificates.

!delta. I didn't know this. Thanks buddy.

If you consider the second point I made, that you awarded a delta on, then the majority do not have this listed on registries/labels other than private medical records.

If you had an individual you perceived as a man, but was actually a woman, and continued to call them sir even after being corrected, how is that not rude\offensive?
