That said, if a "trans" person has ovaries or testes (for example) then

explained to me) still apply, and sadly, may in-fact be considerably
complicated by any medical processes that may have contributed to a
transition.
So what if a person has both ovaries and testes?
It is better to keep all options open rather than making hasty subdivisions.
Exactly!
The objective is not to sub-divide, but to ensure that those to whom
various questions are relevant have their answers recorded, but those
for whom the section is irrelevant are not over-burdened.
In this context that means attributes (that can be None) rather than subclasses.
Which seems to be the way we're headed...
Thanks!
