Examples
Example 1
Louis Pasteur is percieved as a male, from his birth to his death, using the wikidata vocabulary instance http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q6581097.
Example 2
Lili Elbe (1882 - 1931), was a Danish painter and among the early recipients of gender-affirming surgery. She was assigned the gender male at birth (Assigned male at birth from the homosaurus vocabulary, https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000079), signed her painting as Einar Wegener (her birth name) before transitioning in 1930 and changing her legal name to Lili Ilse Elvenes (either Women https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509, or Trans women https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001642 depending on who’s perception it is based on). The date could also be earlier if sources attested that Lili Elbe considered herself as a women before 1930, if the perspective is Lili’s perception of her own gender.
