I should have been clearer, sex is generally binary there are obviously rare exceptions like chromosomal abnormalities.

Who's making these arguments? A quick Google scholar was not fruitful, do you have any sources or is this a fringe minority?

> such as how your sex is listed on ID

This presupposes that sex be listed on ID rather than gender. I don't follow this in the news so I'm not sure what the arguments are but at face value using the IOM definition from 2001 ("how that person is responded to by social institutions on the basis of the individual’s gender presentation.") gender seems like the more appropriate choice for identification.
