I appreciate the depth of your answer

Under my system they would still fall under the “has Y” or “Y absent” grouping

I do think a genetic blood test at birth would fix that issue of misidentification but since gender (y vs no y) should be meaningless to the majority of people, because everyone is equal and free to express themselves, it’s not worth the cost of doing it until there’s a need to affirm someone’s gender
