How is gender classified on a New York City Identity Card?
Johntorresbrooklyn
By law, the gender shown on a NYC ID is "self reported". This means that the City will put whatever gender you tell it to, regardless of what your birth certificate or other identification says and regardless of what gender you appear to be a member of.
