Hi Elizabeth,
I think that this issue, which isn't uncommon, is of the same nature
as to whether to record the birth name or adopted name as the main
name of someone.
Just as people vary on that decision, depending on individual
circumstances and whether their main interest is the birth family or
the adopting family, so they will on this one of change of gender -
which usually also includes a change in name.
Whichever you decide to enter as the primary fact, the other needs to
be recorded in Events or Notes.

The kid down the street just had a sex-change operation, so he has
gone from male to female. THAT will be a very interesting
work-around to get him entered in a genealogy program.
