Dear Luis,

Let's not confuse the physical sex with legal or gender. This
issue has been brought up several times already, and I will change the
term "sex" for "gender" in the person (party) model.

​Before doing an answer I have asked to two health professional about the sex and told me that, for medical reason is strongly important, no sexual choice, physical sex is strongly important, since the physical sexuality is important information for managed health, if the patient will be a part of a surgery, physical sex is really strongly important, is no the same manage drugs to a male or female body. If the health would be related to any kind of business ( no health and body ), sex wouldn't be important. Finally, a person who change his sex, also must provide this information for historical, since it must be considered for health professionals.

I hope do my small contribution to the thread

The boolean proposal is semantically the same as mine to add a new option
"Unknown" except that my solution doesn't add an extra field which should be
tested all over the code before using the sex field.

And I agree with what Cedric said here.
