Lucky me I'm Canadian.

I don't want either M or F on my birth certificate. I don't want anything there at all!

I don't think for any reason other than medical purposes in todays society should anyone need to outwardly display their designated sex or gender in any form that needs to be shown to people who are not bound by legal confidence.

Also I believe that for those people (medical professionals, financial institutions and places of education and employment) that they should be provided the medical biological sex to treat their medical conditions should any arise and their gender separately so they will know to address that person with the correct or at least polite pronouns.
Starting with that, when people are expected to consider these options and not choose a box that says male or female, maybe they will think and consider what they really are and realize how normal it is to vary in sex and gender.

In Australia voters are marked by their chromosomes. I think if anything M or F could be replaced by that!

Thanks for the idea. I think I should start on a project. A card, like government ID that can be given first before giving legal ID to display a person's true self. Maybe some places will pick it up as personal ID card like we have BYID for sale of alcohol here in Ontario to those who do not have a passport or drivers.
