Government data can be wrong. You should be able to fix it.

1) This has nothing to do with mapping.
2) Why does the government need to record "gender" (or sex) at all?

@light @openstreetmap

1) It does, because governments produce map data that can't be corrected and OpenStreetMap is a mapping community, that includes trans people.
2) they don't need to, but they do it and they make it really hard (often impossible) to change it (also includes names)

@u1l
Where on maps is gender recorded?
(This is the strongest argument for you that I can think of) Are there monuments of trans people that are under controversy?
Otherwise the connection seems tenuous at best.
