Where are you from, if I may ask? And do you know what is written into the ID?

Because in Germany there are current political developments to allow to change the sex in the ID. But I don’t know to what extend.

I’m in the US.

The sex of the baby will almost certainly be recorded as female. Keep in mind that while the karyotype might indicate XY, babies generally aren’t karytotyped at birth, as that’s a pointless expense for the overwhelming majority of people. The parents, doctors, and children wouldn’t have any idea about their condition until:

  1. Streak gonads are detected, which involves an MRI or ultrasound
  2. Hormone levels are measured in a blood test
  3. The child fails to undergo puberty as expected

Since only #3 is visible without a specific test, it’s usually the first indicator, and the other two tests are used as confirmations of the syndrome. That’s when supplemental hormone therapy and surgery are discussed as well.
