~~Starting point only for now~~.

We code binary sex assigned at birth as documented in the [[Sex field]].

~~Should mention~~

== Coding transsexuality ==

We don't specifically encode transsexuality. We used to code [[Gender identity disorder]] but discontinued coding it.

Space for any explanation you might want to add.

We collect some ICD10 codes that for surgical interventions that might happen as part of transitioning. We would code these as any other history of surgery. Specifically:

* [[Past history, removal of organ NOS]] for hysterectomy if appropriate. We discussed whether removed testicles should be included in this; if so it needs to be added to that page as well

* [[Past history, removal of breast (mastectomy)]] if appropriate

* [[Sex field]] which needs to include a distinction to gender, and how we code if it changes over time

* [[Gender identity disorder]] and that we removed it and why

{{DA |

~~[[Gender]] should probably redirect here.~~

I think we don't code hormone replacement therapy itself. If there are common side effects that manifest in a way that is ICD10 encodable, would we want to list them here? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:39, 2022 September 7 (CDT)
