Apparantly Transport took the M/F off the Drivers licence because it might offend someone.

They didn't take into account all the people who may be offended by that decision.

      Caloundra, Queensland.
It's been gone for nearly 2 years, as well as height and eye colour.
Media beat up.
Pretty useless information when you have a hologram photo.

Maybe other states can confirm if they still have that info?
Only if you've renewed your license in the last year or two.

Next to sex on mine it says "very little"  :rofl:

Actually there is no mention of gender on my Tassie Licence. If I end up with Dementia and forget what sex I am, I won't be able to get a hint from my license!  :crazy1:

Thanks Dazz.
My point above is that if we check, we'll find not just Queensland has done this.
It seems to have been done Australia wide but only the Queenslanders were smart enough to pick up on it (18 months later  :crazy1:).

I seem to remember once a upon a time it was common practice to answer "Yes Please!" to the question "Sex" on official forms.

There is a suggestion that QLD health will delete Male and Female so as not to offend the LGBTICC sect group neighbourhood   :head_knock: mob.
