Only recognize genders that are determined at birth

The issue of only recognizing genders assigned at birth is mainly about whether to see gender as only male or female, as decided when a person is born. People who support this idea often talk about keeping things simple and sticking to traditional views of gender based on biology. Others who disagree say that this approach ignores the real experiences of people whose gender identity is different from what they were assigned at birth. They argue for accepting different gender identities to respect each person's self-identification.
