Note

As with other culturally-constructed traits such as age and gender, the way in which this concept is described in different cultural contexts varies. The normalizing attributes are provided only as an optional means of simplifying that variety for purposes of interoperability or project-internal taxonomies for consistency, and should not be used where that is inappropriate or unhelpful. The content of the element may be used to describe the intended concept in more detail.

Examples

<sex value="F">female</sex>
<sex value="I">Intersex</sex>
<sex value="TG F">Female (TransWoman)</sex>
