Generic Question: Publications Office human-sex authority table value "Not Applicable" corresponding to "non-binary gender"?

[XHochschuleDE]

The gender / sex codelist from Publications Office
https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/at-concept-scheme/-/resource/authority/human-sex/?target=Browse&uri=http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/human-sex

currently shows four different possibilities.

In Germany we need to express "male, female, divers and unknown".

Can you please cross-check with Publications Office e.g. with @OP-EU-VOCABULARIES@publications.europa.eu that the value "Not Applicable" is the correct term for mapping to the "legal recognition of non-binary gender". (see e.g. wikipedia for more information)

This issue was found in the 2nd German call for comments organised by XHochschule by Universität Greifswald and HIS eG

I guess this would address the issue SEMICeu/Core-Person-Vocabulary#7

thanks @XHochschuleDE and @EmidioStani for your comments. We have picked up similar comments on that aspect.

For instance AT commented the following;

As for the human sex code list, in AT there are the following values: „male“, „female“, „open“ [...] In case it is not possible to clearly distinguish between male and female, there are the values: „inter“ and „divers“. When no information is provided, the value is: „not specified“.

We will further investigate that matter and get back to you here.

Meanwhile the code list was updated in December 2020 and now features "not stated".
Not sure whether this now maps to "divers".
