How should Janet Mock's gender be classified?

The Data Doctor suggests that her gender does not match WikiData. We do not have a WikiTree gender of "transgender female" to match.

I would just mark the error as false, Gilbert. Your comment can be something like 'insufficient gender choices at WikiTree" (or something similarly snarky!!).

As we've learned from trying to match our data to that at Findagrave, we can't always match our data to that of other websites. And if we have sourced our data proper, we should always defer to our data.
Ok, thanks!

Thank you, Lindy! and Gil!

The Lady Chablis (AMAB) has the female gender for the profile.

An example of why we should be leery of running ''comparison'' checks on other sites, their data is only as good as whoever input it made it, which is quite variable.  FaG is another example.
