Click the second switch with java selenium

Question

I want to click on the second switch with java / selenium. Identifiers are dynamic, and I don't know why xpath is not working. It would be very helpful if you guys can show me how this works.

HTML

   <div class="form-radiobutton-group group-horizontal" id="id29">
            <div class="form-radiobutton-element">
                <span class="form-radiobutton-wrapper">
                    <input class="salutation_f feedback-panel-trigger wicket-id29" id="id4" name="personaldataPanel:salutation:choices" value="radio9" type="radio">
                    <label for="id4" class=""></label>
                </span>
                <label for="id4">
                    Frau
                </label>
            </div>
            <div class="form-radiobutton-element">
                <span class="form-radiobutton-wrapper">
                    <input class="salutation_m feedback-panel-trigger wicket-id29" id="id3" name="personaldataPanel:salutation:choices" value="radio11" type="radio">
                    <label for="id3" class=""></label>
                </span>
                <label for="id3">
                    Herr
                </label>
            </div>
        </div>

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[../following-sibling::label[contains(.,'Frau')]]")).click();
  

• To click the switch with label text Herr:

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[../following-sibling::label[contains(.,'Herr')]]")).click();

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[../following-sibling::label[contains(.,'Herr')]]")));
el.click();
