I don't think they use your license for that. Also it is just not that simple. I'm trans so i use hormones. This means a lot of processes in my body run as if i was a woman. Not everything of course, but it certainly isn't black and white. So if you did follow my id and i wasn't able to change it then they may make mistakes the other direction in. But again, i don't believe they use your id for that.

Yeah but that doesn't happen with the ID. Look im trans and from the Netherlands. I have the v for vrouw (female) in my passport but that doesn't match my sex. Yet i can travel over the world (some countries were being trans is outlawed of course excepted) but they won't try to match my id to my genitals. Let alone chromosomes.
Of course you could think of the edge case of the car crash. But it has to be an incredibly precise type of crash where all my other indentifing info is lost except my sex and my id... i don't think that is really a good reason.
As for prisons. My personal opinion is that in general we should allow for self identification. How ever when someone is a risk or for other reasons wouldn't be a good fit other measures can be taken. As the exception. And again they don't use id to determine sex here.
For your final point. i wonder if it is given good thought to be fair. Identification is a rather old system and like many old systems you get customs that just don't get questioned over time. Most reasons I've heard are after thoughts.

It's mostly a leftover from when as a society we didn't label the divide between gender and sex i think. It would make more sense for the id to say gender. That's the way it's used in practice

It's kind of depends what your using it for. No one is going to do a chromosome test just to see if your id matches. And really anything outside of that is changeable. Surgery hormones ect. It says sex on the ID. But unless you want to do those test each time you check the ID we use it as gender. And even if you do those test. You wouldn't be the first person who lived there whole life as one gender but turned out to have the opposite xx or xy chromosomes without knowing. Its rare but it does happen

Right but what are you going to do if the gender doesn't match with what is written in the id? Nothing really. In practice the picture is enough.
Edit: People down voting me while I'm right... as trans person you would think i know what happens when your id doesn't match your sex.

Reply to canvas water paint Majestic Peacock, Me, medium, 2023 by wele101
I hate that i have to do this. But I think this is AI art. Which is not permitted. See rule 11. Because: 1 for an water painting it sure has a very smooth white background. Can't see any texture of canvas or paper. 2 the crown is weird. Zoom in and it does things you would never do if you where designing it yourself 3 user is suspect. They are also active on wallstreetbets and some crypto sub. And they have a second art piece of peacock with crown. Which i also think is ai for the same reasons
