so then there should be hundreds, that would obviously be better. I cannot tell if you are virtue signaling or truly this misguided.
How will the parents know they have a gender unassigned baby, or a boy, or a girl? If you put faith in all this gender fluid speak, then the only one that can properly make the call is the child, after society has had its influence in the child's development.(gender is a societal construct, so we are told over and over and over) So the only sensible idea is to assign gender to none, and then let the kid chose when they are ready. In the process messing up all sorts of kids who are not gender fluid, and would be better served to be identified in alliance with their physical sex from birth.
So, lets make it easy for parents to totally mentally screw up their kids before they even have a start in life, in order to maybe possibly happen to catch some of the 0.05 percent of births where gender fluidity is relevant at all. In reality, it is total crap shoot if any of the previously "misgendered" babies will even have parents that elect to use the gender neutral BC.
Why change the system to accommodate the outlier? This makes no sense, unless you are really doing it to just feel good about how progressive and open minded you are.
And if you are going to change the system, make it fair and equitable, and stop assigning gender on birth certificates at all. Or, read the BC, and see that IT DOES NOT ASSIGN GENDER AT ALL, IT INCLUDES THE UNDENIABLE PHYSICAL SEX OF THE BABY! Which is almost never in question, as it is binary in the vaaaast majority of cases.
The same people that tell you gender and sex are different, drop that assumption when it suits their agenda.
