*Data should be able to be collected for any patient (ie, transgender/gender-non-conforming persons) but would not be required fields for the majority of (non-transgender) patients whose birth and current listed sex as well as gender identity are identical. These data could be housed in a special supplemental demographics section or in the medical or social history sections of the chart. Additionally, the patient's ‘current listed sex’ (ie, the sex/gender as they are listed on their insurance documents, current state-issued identity documentation, etc) would be collected and stored in the primary sex/gender demographics field for billing purposes.

FTM, female to male (ie, female assigned at birth, male-spectrum identity); MTF, male to female (ie, male assigned at birth, female-spectrum identity).
