This probably sounds like a stupid question, but I honestly wonder how your departments handle searches of multi-gendered, or trans-gendered individuals?
If the subject is anatomically a male, do you treat that person as a male, or female....and vice versa... What if the subject has certain anatomical traits of both a male and a female (e.g. take hormones to produce breasts, but has not had genital reidentification surgery, etc.)....
Crazy question, but it's 2004, and I know many of you, especially in big cities, see these circumstances every day.
