Gender Marker (F, M, X, decline to state) - legal/government sex

Issue with Alexander not updating is because the query to generate the list is exporting a different value than expected for the gender_identity prompt. Instead of ‘Transmasculine/Transman’ it exported the short value, which is just ‘transmale.' Because of this, it was not mapped properly in the source format and did not update.
To resolve, I’m updating the query in PROD to export specifically ‘long value’ to get the expected prompts.
