etting harder to determine these days, so is gender no longer of any use for authentication?
It's still just as good as any *other* biometric data on the passport. I may gain/lose a drastic amount of weight, change hair color/style, or get plastic surgury to alter my facial appearance. And I'm more likely to do any of those things than I am to change which team I play for. But I don't see any big rush to remove photos from driver's licenses.
