Section 6.2.7 says:

   Special notes:  The components correspond, in sequence, to the sex
      (biological), and gender identity.  Each component is optional.

It should say:

   Special notes:  The components correspond, in sequence, to the sex
      and gender identity.  Each component is optional.

Notes:

The term "biological" in regards to sex does not have a widely agreed upon meaning, and is primarily used to discriminate against transgender people.

Including the "biological" qualifier serves no purpose.
