If gender, the only way to know is to ask. If sex, what's the precise definition used? How do you handle trans people, both pre-op and post-op?
Again, as my genderqueer friends would say, "this rule represents very gender-binary thinking".
The SOP uses the term same gender to mean male on male, female on female. It also states that transgender passengers are to be screened an officer of the gender that they present themselves to be. I.E. If you are a male and present yourself as a female, then you are screened by a female.
