@dotfox what's to stop me from verifying people who can't verify themselves? If you can't stop it, it's not effective. If you can, it's not anonymous. How do you square that circle?
Furthermore, who gets to decide what you need to AV for and what you don't? They've already admitted they want this for anti LGBT and pro Gaza genocide reasons explicitly. It's not innocent, not in the slightest

@fluffykittycat Anonymity in my system is from the verifier, not from the issuer. The issuer (say, a gov agency) knows who you are - same as when they issue you a passport. But the website/service checking your age learns nothing about you. So: the issuer can stop fraudulent issuance (not anonymous to them), and the verifier can't track you (anonymous to them). No circle to square - these are two different relationships.
