      It's not just similar - it's an exact copy of that extension. However, this is a FHIR R4 IG and the extension is a FHIR R5 profile so we cannot use it in the IG.

      Our preferred course of action would be to not use this extension/copy at all, but to use an update version of the US Core genderIdentity extension, but currently that extension is not fit for use - wee linked issues: https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-37526?filter=12653 and https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-37509

      If that US Core genderIdentity extension gets updated prior to USPHPL publishing, we will use that extension.

    Description

      The PH gender identity extension is very similar to the standard R5 gender identity extension being developed by Gender Harmony. If that R5 extension is approved, is there a need for the PH specific extension or can the standard backport of the R5 extension be used instead?
