Ender, thanks for posting this article. The article says "the community" took this gender I.D. thing to the Pakistani Supreme Court. I am not going to second guess the wishes of this community.
As an individual I do believe that not all people fit into the binary. Masculinity is not strictly a male trait nor femininity a female trait. Much of gender is constructed and not from our genetics, biology. I know you know this already. Some Trans people do fit into the binary and some do not.
As for limiting, offering tax collector jobs, I agree. I think by limiting jobs to tax collection it is transphobic and rooted in misogyny. But, if I needed shelter, food and the basics, a paying job does trump nada.
