In how far does gender change in your hypothetical metric with transition. If I take hormones for example, I would influence this metric.

Another confusing point would be how you try tracking gender, but having a gender identity value inside the metric. How would you even track this gender then?

All of these are measurable. I'm not sure what's the source of your confusion. Yes the terminology becomes a bit ambiguous unless we make up a new word/term for the tuple, but gender identity is just one dimension of it. It can be measured with a standardized questionnaire.
