We decided to support the sex options male / female / other to align with BIDS-allowed sex values, but SNOMED (also MEDRA, NIDM) do not have a good term for "other sex". As a workaround, we are using the SNOMED ID for "Indeterminate sex" as a stand-in for "some sex other than male or female", even though the former is quite different conceptually since it refers to a specific biological finding.
We should explicitly document the fact that we use the Indeterminate sex term to mean "other sex" in our tools for lack of a better alternative, in case someone tries to navigate to the term URL and is like 🤔, here.
We could also maybe reach out to the NIDM/BIDS folks to see if they have or would be willing to consider supporting these sex concepts in their own namespace.

We want to keep our issues up to date and active. This issue hasn't seen any activity in the last 75 days.
We have applied the _flag:stale label to indicate that this issue should be reviewed again.
When you review, please reread the spec and then apply one of these three options:
prioritize: apply the flag:schedule label to suggest moving this issue into the backlog now
close: if the issue is no longer relevant, explain why (give others a chance to reply) and then close.
archive: sometimes an issue has important information or ideas but we won't work on it soon. In this case
apply the someday label to show that this won't be prioritized. The stalebot will ignore issues with this
label in the future. Use sparingly!
