Serious question: how long into the future do you think it would be before society meets the criteria you are expecting? Even if it seems bang obvious to you, it would be an irreconcilable and inconceivable shock to deep-seated cultural beliefs for billions of people, and we are a very political / status-driven type of animal that has deeply ingrained reflex to use any kind of physical characteristics as differentiators for tribes, wars, social classes, etc.
Even if we granted your presumption, it still seems like something that could not possibly be pragmatic or tractable even in hundreds of years, unless there was essentially a global propaganda campaign lasting for generations, orchestrated in unison by wildly different governments and cultural institutions.
Again, I’m not making any normative claim about your viewpoint. I’m only questioning the “still waiting” part .. because surely any even optimistic estimate about when the human species would have a radically different concept of gender or identity would be hundreds and hundreds of years from now, if ever.
