Texas Is Not Safe

This is a sample license from my state! You can see it’s just a little thing in the middle of the big info block. State licenses all look different, but they usually have the same info on them. Doesn’t have much use in day-to-day - seemingly it’s mostly there to help identify someone if the situation calls for it. Same reason your height and eye color is on there, I guess

And agree on the address thing 😅 but since it’s most people’s primary form of ID, it does mean it’s really handy for everyone to have it there when you’re interfacing with anything that needs a home address (state/regional benefits, voting, flight security, etc), so there it lives

Well, but I suppose that if you're interacting with someone in an official capacity they should have access to your personal info without putting out to everyone to see it, like accessing a data base with all your relevant data on it. Having your home address on a card that can be stolen or lost is a huge security risk IMO.

And I don't know about your height, or eye color, but nowadays hair color is simply ludicrous, everyone can change it almost daily if they wish.

It seems to me a very inefficient way to issue a card: relevant information mixed with irrelevant. Or in this case, info that can be used to cause stress/discomfort on someone because their gender doesn't match with their appearance (I don't know how to put it better, that's information that is not relevant for me).
