       of interest (anatomical, chromosonal, social, etc.)  However, because these observations
       are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice.
        Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between
       administrative and biological, chromosonal and other gender aspects.  For example, an
