Gender!

Although homosexuality is not allowed--to put it lightly--transgender individuals are recognized and are encouraged to undergo transformative surgery to find the true self. They even have programs that may pay half of your operation costs!

Their official gender is the primary concern, it seems. As long as the person makes it clear what he wants to be and maintains a consistent lifestyle and keeps a low-profile about the whole change-up, the government is content.

Why does gender identity throw people off if there is any sort of ambiguity?
