X gender in passport

@GeniUs And if the child has XXY chromosomes? And if the child has partially hermaphroditic sex organs?

@ElwoodBlues I'm pretty sure that isn't the case here just somebody being woke but if you want me to pass judgement on something that even countries are failing to address try this: How has the individual been brought up, as a boy or as a girl and what do their genitals imply they are and select that sex. I repeat, "it's for a passport and for identification purposes", it's for the present and not for what you want to present yourself as in the future.

@GeniUs Physiological intersex is a real thing; the ancient Greeks carved statues of what we now call hermaphrodites. Some people are born with partial genitals of both sexes. In the modern era, sometimes doctors cut and stitch in the genital area to make a baby fit better into one of the two sexes (and sometimes those cutting and stitching doctors make the wrong decision). There are people born truly intersex. There are people for whom it is a lie to say either male or female, even if the passport categories don't include it.

It gets even more complicated. There is genetic mosaicism including absorbed twins. It happens in nature. There are humans walking this Earth who have XY in some cells and XX in other cells.

According to Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, a recognized expert in this field of study, 1-1/2 to 2% of all births do not fall strictly within the tight definition of all-male or all-female, even if the child looks "normal." In reaching her numbers, Dr. Fausto-Sterling counted all incidents of intersexuality, from mild to extreme. The incidence of children with mixed genitalia is pegged at 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 3,000, or 0.033 to 0.05 percent of all births.

@ElwoodBlues I agree I'm one of the few who say there are 3 sexes although true hermaphroditism in humans is very rare, most people will be male, female or close enough to one or other of these to be called that. If you want to pursue a worldwide campaign to get 'x' on passports carry on but I think you are doing this for a minute number of people worldwide.
