Just commenting because you were really specific there with the chromosomes. The ID wouldn't help with that. Doctors mostly look at the baby and decide the sex without genetic testing. Mistakes in this case are only found out if something medical happens and they need to check.

Yes that is fair and I agree. The current method of determining ~~assigned~~ chromosomal sex at birth is inadequate. Edit - I forgot, it also doesn't account for rare cases such as XXY (kleinfelters). Personally I think strictly for medical reasons ASAB/chromosomal should be determined accurately and then essentially not used. Gender identify further does not play any meaningful role at all and is not needed on an ID. It is just a way to discriminate as far as I can tell. Sadly we are quite a ways from that reality.
