in australia, it's true they do. it's their presumption.
the state owns you too.
when you identify as a citizen, rate payer, driver etc you are agreeing to the states terms and conditions.
when you break their presumption by getting them to agree that you are are a man/woman, you are able to ask them whether legislation applies to a man/woman.
which it does not.
man is under no laws but gods and under the laws of man by his CONSENT.
"There, every man is independent of all laws, except those prescribed by nature.
He is not bound by any institutions formed by his fellowman with out his consent.”
