nothing has to be perfect. it just has to work sufficiently well.
Comment on Why do we need legal genders at all?

We don’t.
Here in Germany one of the few good things that came out of our previous federal government was the SBGG, which - among other things - allows you to delete the entry. And before anyone points it out: I’m aware it isn’t perfect.

This can differ in Dutch cities, as well. Utrecht never noted my gender and government letters addressed me as “Geachte <name>”. When I lived in Amsterdam, they auto-assigned me as female so I was addressed as “Mevrouw <name>” while I lived there. Never bothered to have it changed, though. Seemed like it’d be a lot of effort
