Rules:
Identity first, then legal. How does that look for mapping?

Female → Female
Transmasculine/Transman → Transgender
Transfeminine/Transwoman → Transgender
Other → Other
Non-binary → Nonbinary

M → Male
F → Female
X → Indeterminate/Intersex/Unspecified
Decline to State → blankThe portal is looking directly at the sex field (albeit as translation values).
