Consider whether SFCU terminology should be expanded to address use cases in, for example, psychiatry

      The current construct addresses cases where neither female-typical nor male-typical is appropriate. A more detailed characterization of sex parameter categorization may be available through other means (both present and future), but it outside the scope of SPCU directly.

    Description

      For many clinical uses limiting sex to male or female (or specified) makes sense – drugs are dosed for, or approriate for males and females differently; radiation shielding must be placed differently; baseline lab results may differ; surgery will depend on specific organs. However, in psychiatry and similar situations, might there be a need for more nuanced SFCU? I understand the need for a small selection of SFCU values to drive decision making, and that using values other than M/F in contexts where the only reasonable SFCUs are M/F will cause confusion; however, please consider whether the SFCU valueset should be expanded
