Comment on Why do we need legal genders at all?

Denmark made the military service mandatory for women too this year.

I don’t know of any legal differences at this point.

There’s still plenty of differences but not from a legal perspective.

Like, maternity leave is longer than paternity leave, but that’s not due to gender, but rather who is pregnant. For instance if a lesbian couple has a child, only one of them can have maternity leave, while the co-parent gets the equivalent to paternity leave.

Also, men aren’t screened for breast cancer and vice versa for prostate check-ups. I don’t think that’s done on a legal basis though, it’s just a healthcare service aimed at different demographics. Anyone can request a prostate check or mammography and get it if the doctor finds it necessary.

Changing rooms at public swimming facilities are separated by gender, but they often also have a third room which is for families with small children, people with handicaps or anyone else who don’t want to or can’t use the public showers.
