Ack, they were also defining 'transgender' as a synonym of intersex!
I've removed it for now.

Translation seems like one of the major issues!
So far, sex and gender are not distinguished as far as I can tell.

I wonder if that's a translation issue. English Wikipedia is mostly
concerned with gender, but other languages might only consider
sex, or use
the same word for both concepts.

An interesting blog post about sex ratio data from Wikipedia and
Wikidata:

Interestingly, Wikidata only allows assigning a 'sex' to a
person, not
a
'gender'.
