It is not of interest of the government the sex or gender of the person wearing the clothing. But the identity of the person must be verified. It is not of interest to the government the sex or gender of the person verifying the identity, but if the attendee requests a equal or like gender service to verify, it should be reasonably honored, at discretion of the Governing agency and place . The government must respect, tolerate and be inclusive of the cultural practices of the people.
