One problem I see with this is that XX vs. XY is not 100% determinate of biological sex either.  Examples: trisomy XYY ("supermales"), trisomy XXX ("superfemales"), trisomy XXY (male but with more pronounced feminine features), monosomy X0 (female but less pronounced feminine features), XY with androgen insensitivity (genetically male, biologically female), XX with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (born and genetically female, develops male secondary sexual characteristics and genitalia shape at puberty), genetic mosaics who are born with both XX and XY cells in their body (determined by individual growth and development, mosaics with up to 90% XY can still develop naturally as "female" and even give birth provided the XX part of their bodies happen to be dominant in their reproductive organs), XX with an SRY gene on one of the X chromosomes (genetically and biologically male), or XY and missing the SRY gene (genetically and biologically female).  And how would you check for this without testing and extensive interviews to rule out any/all of the above.  Seems that also violates individual liberties to me.
