I'm pretty sire I made clear the DISTINCTION between SEXUAL and GENDER identification in my previous post.
You're sort of ignoring the foundational point.
Having testicles makes you biologically male. Not psychologically male.

So which one should be printed on official documents then? The one you born with, or the one you're perceived as by society? Because the last one opens up a gigantic can of worms for every other identity field on official documents.
Should a woman who makes it a habit of lying about her age, had plastic surgery, and is thus perceived as being much younger than she really is, get to change the birth year in her passport? No. She was born in that year, regardless of how old she looks now. Just like a transgender was born a man/woman and will remain such unless they undergo surgery to remove the very features that defines a man/woman. Until that time there is no reason to, for the sake of official documents and establishing identity, change (or leave empty) the gender title on a passport because nothing has in fact changed.
For the sake of clarity, a simple (TG) for TransGender (or something) behind the sex should clear up any issue there is with this. It makes it clear to any customs official that the person standing infront of them is officially a man but doesn't consider themselves to be a man and thus looks like a woman. Problem solved.
