@Tattie After all, childhood development tracking is seeing if the way children grow up follows an expected pattern, including gender/sex-linked things.

It follows that people are sometimes expected not to follow those patterns, for a multitude of reasons (not to fall into a medicalization trap other sexual minorities suffered horrendously from).

Therefore, that letter doesn't tell the entire story for everyone and moreover, society recognizes it.

@Tattie When you put it like that, one thing really stands out to me, even as a cis man.

That letter on the birth certificate is made based on physical presentation at birth, with a presumed link to development years later and an assumption of generalized characteristics therefrom, barring lesser-seen phenomena.

(Verbose in an attempt to avoid loaded terms)

Although it fits for me, if someone feels mismatched, the question you describe being forced to face is a reversal of the onus of proof.

@dan Looks like a bar mat/beer mat shape; perhaps you've got office coffee coasters sewn up too!
