Comments

Because the recorded sex or gender concept exists primarily as means to exchange sex and gender data concepts that are known NOT to represent a gender identity, sex parameter for clinical use, or attributes related to sexuality, the type is used to identify what type of concept the recorded sex or gender concept is.

If the semantics of the field are known, they may be described in the comment. For example, if the 'SEX' field on a license in a particular state or province is populated based on an individual's indication of what gender they consider themselves to be, but the field label is 'SEX' for historical reasons, a comment describing that the semantics of the field align with gender identity, even though the field name is 'SEX' can be provided.
