The gender seems to be applicable also for animals ("the descriptions says "Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than male and female, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support male and female......")

Add a truly optional individual-recordedSexOrGender extension to allow for more details if and when needed.

For: https://hl7.eu/fhir/laboratory/StructureDefinition-Patient-animal-eu-lab-definitions.html#Patient.gender I question #1 use of this element in animals - I woudl assume this is intended to be the animal's sex, since an animal does not normally declare gender - so not correct use of the concept.

If the decision to use this element remains, then the valueset for it should at least reflect animal related values like spayed/neutered.
