Gender and sex

The sex of each person in your Pedigree Forge project is set as one of the first fields entered after their name, from the main person editing panel. This is designed to relate to the official sex of the individual.

Gender, whilst often aligned to sex, is not the same, and can be recorded separately. This field is accessed on the “Current Person Other Detail” dialog, which is shown by clicking on the button ⋮ next to the current person’s name:

There is a list of some frequently used genders, but other values can be entered if none of these are appropriate.

Also refer to the section on pronouns.
