From what I understand people "like you," are approximately 1 in 10k, give take. I'm not sure how much we really should change the entire system for a few fairly extreme edge cases - that's especially assuming all cops / state entities don't know what to do with people who appear to be a different sex than their ID states (sounds like updated pictures should be an easy enough solution though, no?) -

though this guy claims transitioning helped his career, and he's in texas - https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen4/20c/How-the-transgender-movt-destroyed-a-family/index.html

Though I'd like to talk to someone / hear the case of why we do have our sex marker on IDs - but there will always be edge cases (passing trans people, women who look like men, men who look like women, etc.) - I don't think an imperfect line is a good argument to get rid of lines - there is a whole idiom with it - "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater," and there won't be a perfect solution to this (also like uncomfortable interactions with cops are normal - I've had a lot - as have many other friends).
