    Description

      A person may assert several simultaneous gender identities, for example in different settings. They may also use different names in those different settings.

      Is there a recommended way to indicate which GI and which name belong together?

      If so, what is it?

      Is this just a theoretical problem?

      What are some real-world examples?

      The relationship between the concepts could be
      1/
      name is used in setting and
      gender is used in setting
      This introduces a new concept of setting or setting type
      2/
      name is used with gender
      In FHIR this could be an extension on name. The extension could be a gender element or a pointer to an existing gender element elsewhere in the resource.
      3/
      something else
