    But your gender at birth is an important data point.

    No it isn’t.

      Are you crazy? There are many factors which led to that data point. How you feel about it later in life is a different story. You don’t choose to be a certain gender. It’s genetically chosen for you, and there are other issues which are dependent on that data point.

      You may feel that you are a man or a woman during your life, and that may not confirm to your gender. That’s ok! But there may be certain diseases that are more prevalent in a woman. If you were born a woman and change your gender later in life, how does it affect that disorder,m

          You were born with specific genetic things. Accurately recording those things is important.

            Why? I can’t even name someone who can name someone who has actually had their karyotype tested.

            You don’t even know what chromosomes you have.
