Guidelines for coding sex and gender: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

**Some things that used to be classified as disorders are no longer so classified, and this is a moving target

**While ICD-10 has a number sex and gender-related codes and definitions, things are substantially unclear. For example F64.0 is "Transexualism" defined as "A desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually accompanied by a sense of discomfort with, or inappropriateness of, one's anatomic sex, and a wish to have surgery and hormonal treatment to make one's body as congruent as possible with one's preferred sex". But it is not clear how this should be coded ''after'' such an individual has undegone gender reassignment.

*'''FOR THESE REASONS -- we decided on September 7, 2022 to exclude from our version of ICD-10 coding all of these entities''' -- including: Transexualism, Dual-role transvestism, and Gender identity disorders. And we removed the few "Gender identity disorder~~" (F64)~~ codes that had been included up until that point in time.

*'''FOR THESE REASONS -- we decided on September 7, 2022 to exclude from our version of ICD-10 coding all of these entities''' -- including: Transexualism, Dual-role transvestism, and Gender identity disorders. And we removed the few {{ICD10WithCode|Gender identity disorder}} codes that had been included up until that point in time.
