So that people with an M on their passport can do obligatory military service
(Yes, I am salty about this, how’d you know?)
((Also I think that’s the only remaining way in which people with an M or an F are treated differently where I live so at least we’re making some progress I guess))
(((Oh also they need it to more effectively grope trans people at airport security)))
Denmark made the military service mandatory for women too this year.
I don’t know of any legal differences at this point.
There’s still plenty of differences but not from a legal perspective.
Like, maternity leave is longer than paternity leave, but that’s not due to gender, but rather who is pregnant. For instance if a lesbian couple has a child, only one of them can have maternity leave, while the co-parent gets the equivalent to paternity leave.
Also, men aren’t screened for breast cancer and vice versa for prostate check-ups. I don’t think that’s done on a legal basis though, it’s just a healthcare service aimed at different demographics. Anyone can request a prostate check or mammography and get it if the doctor finds it necessary.
Changing rooms at public swimming facilities are separated by gender, but they often also have a third room which is for families with small children, people with handicaps or anyone else who don’t want to or can’t use the public showers.

“Miss, I can confirm you still do NOT have a prostate. Please, stop coming here. This is very inappropriate”
