Some deep thoughts on what I suspect will be a fairly big issue for medical and insurance databases, especially if polygamy is ever legally recognised. Though if it's medical insurance, you probably can't drop the gender and sex markers, you need some indication that a transwoman who was assigned male at birth doesn't need a pap smear.
