the real value of having a Solid Fact on your ID and not something that you prefer

Huh, well that's only a solid fact if it's complete, and then why do you want everyone to know?
Say someone is mosaic 5% XX 90% XXY 5% XY, has male genitals, identifies as male, and doesn't want to be seen as anything but male (understandably), then what is wrong there?
Oh and people who already assume M means male genitals *will* assume XY means the same. Unless you have XO, XXY or another variation, they'll ask questions, and not necessarily in a nice way.
I really don't see how could this save you in emergency/prison or police situations.
Maybe women with CAIS wouldn't want to be seen as XY, and men with de la chapelle syndrome wouldn't want to be seen as XX too. It's personal.
If someone wants to tell a friend, or their doctor or anything, they can, but you can't force *everyone* to do so, just because you think it benefits *you*.
I look female, sound female, smell female if you will, but have male genitals - until surgery they won't let me change it to F...but past that they will, if it was chromosomes I'd be stuck with XY, and the same problems, all my life.
If you want to be 'precise' about someone you'd have to include chromosomes, gonads and how many there are or were (if removed), hormone levels average, fertility and I'd go as far as saying BSTc size (when measurable alive) should be pointed out too - and I really wonder what people checking my passport would think of all this junk that's really personal...a M or F is more anonymous, if you need to bring precision for the sake of care, you can do so, but you should not be forced to do so.
