Is it possible to change the term Sex for Clinical Use to something that does not contain the word "Sex". In a conversation in a Sex and Gender Working group meeting, there was a lot of concern over the SFCU term. It might be better to call it something like "parameters for clinical use" thus removing the word sex entirely. The main issue was that transgender people don't want their "sex" to be represented as other than their gender identity in any context. There was also a feeling that SFCU is specifically targeted at transgender people which could be deemed discriminatory. In terms of hormonal representation, there could also be additional degrees of hormonal representation, such a peri-menopausal, menopausal, post-menopausal, among others, that would fit into a 'Parameters for clinical use' representation.
