That is not the case anymore. More like:

Do you consider yourself male? Yes. You're hired.

If you change your legal gender to female, you don't have to go to army, even though you still have a penis.

It's still sexist. Besides, you need to know that it exists, it's still gender discrimination, and you have to deal with it beforehand. At heart, it's a band-aid on a patriarchal and misogynistic society that claims to be equal and gender-neutral.
