The political correctness of any one term changes over time.
The above list should close the circle if phenotype and
genotype are taken into account:

male (g: m, p: m)
female (g: f, p: m)
hermaphrodite or intersex (g: f+m, p: f+m)
(note this also includes mosaic -- extremely rare)
transgender f pheno (g: f+m, p: f)
transgender m pheno (g: f+m, p: f)
