I'm sorry but the way you said that made me laugh. This is funny because, like you said the majority of the medical field have little to offer us. Hence why we continue to strike so much controversy to this day just from being ourselves. Ridiculous. I mean, when I first came out I thought there could be a test but it makes more sense that there in no accurate gender test because we aren't even fully understood yet in the fields of medicine and science like you said, Stephanie. Great point.
You could get close to accurate, but you're still going to be running into problems. For examples...
If someone identifies as a male, and with little negligible differences observed in light of recent evidence regarding psychology of men and women behaves as a woman, and the test only place emphasis on behaviors, the test will come to show that this person who identifies as a male is gender-neutral or a woman despite that is not how he sees himself.
And then, there are people who perceives their bodies as opposite of what their body says or they feel differently than what their identity is, but still insists on identifying the way that their body is saying, there are test that do not account for individual logics and how one comes to a certain identity, and that means according to some test, they are trans.
And even if you can account for everything, you are still going to get some discrepancies between individuals' actual identity and results. In the end, there's just no truly known effective way to determine a individual's gender although you could assume a individual is cis just because the majority is cis, but that's not going to work in a place full of people who aren't cis.
