An interesting blog post about sex ratio data from Wikipedia and Wikidata: http://hangingtogether.org/?p=2877
Interestingly, Wikidata only allows assigning a 'sex' to a person, not a 'gender'.

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.

There are lots of related discussions on the talk page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P21
Translation seems like one of the major issues!
So far, sex and gender are not distinguished as far as I can tell.

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