I was all set to make a joke about how gender could only be indeterminate in

The women glow and the men chunder. If they're both glowing and
chundering, or glowing and then chundering, or chundering and then
glowing, the Aussie must be undergoing a metamorphosis. This third
option gives the glowing chunderer or chundering glower a measure of
peace to know that it is not alone and that it has an integral place
in society. The State, of course, needs to know this -- it's of vital
national importance -- to plan troop deployments and luncheons.

 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.
