Question:
Sex: How should the sex field be coded for the newly allowable non-binary gender designation ? See Discussion.
Discussion:
Washington State added to birth certificates, which allows people to have their certificates changed to this non-binary gender designation. Gender X is defined as a gender that is not exclusively male or female, including, but not limited to: intersex, agender, amalgagender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, genderfluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, and unspecified.
Answer:
Code Gender X as 9 when that is the only information available. Use text fields to document the details.
Also refer to coding instruction #7.
When gender is not known
Assign code 1 when the primary site is C600 'C639
Assign code 2 when the primary site is C510 'C589
Assign code 9 for primary sites not included above
