I'm analyzing representatives in 20K Italian companies.

Every representative has two attributes:
* sex $RepresentativesSection.RepresentativeList.Representative.Individual.Sex
* birthLabelGenere
$RepresentativesSection.RepresentativeList.Representative.Individual.Birth.BirthLabelGenere

I made a query to find all representatives that has changed the sex.

Why I did this? Because I can.

It worked? No, the provider removed data of people that changed the sex.

I found only one person that has no BirthLabelGenere data

Fortunately it does not work, it's illegal in Italy store this kind of data

Why the hell the provider added this attribute?

RepresentativesSection.RepresentativeList.Representative.Individual.Birth.BirthLabelGenere
