On Circling X

I have to renew my Oregon driver's license this year, and I am 100% gonna circle the "X" in the gender field.

I debated it for a moment, like critiquing my ~authenticity~ or whatever. And then I imagined myself circling "M" and feeling the same spike of resentment and hatred I always feel when I have to circle the god damn "M." And then I imagined just... not doing that.
