But even in the future the language is a bit wonky. If you are sterile for some reason, does that mean you have no gender? Well, guess it does say that you don’t have to actually produce those cells, you just have to “belong to the sex that produces the cells”. Ok, but then it technically avoids defining what “belonging to the sex means”, except to say that determination is done at conception, which opens the question to whether they consider a Morris Syndrome person to be a man? Or do they consider that person to have “belonging to the sex that produces larger reproductive cells” even if they, personally do not. Some people can go many many years without knowing they don’t have ovaries.
It’s strangely awkward and even more convoluted for their attempt to avoid saying it is the y chromosone.

Yep, the courts and lawyers are definitely going have their hands full.
