Essex County Jane Doe (1981) Doe Network and NJPD both have the victim listed as female, with no indication that she was assigned male at birth. Maybe she was listed as male in NamUs by mistake?

I submitted this unidentified person found in the Florida Keys to the Trans Doe Task Force - I suspect that they may be trans or otherwise gender-variant.

This UID from 1982 has had new details added to NamUs, suggesting they may have been a trans man:
(Postmortem warning) The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
CA - CA - Los Angeles, WhtFem UP4311, 30-50, GSW, Tattoos: Tiger, Scorpion, Crab, Feb'82
"Circumstances of Recovery On 02/12/1982 the decedent was found at a construction site with an apparent self inflicted gunshot would to her head. She was dressed in male clothing with short hair in a male-style haircut and was originally thought to be a male by officers."
That second sentence wasn't on NamUs before. If someone thought it was important to add that info, hopefully it means they're re-examining this case in a new light.

“We started researching and looking for cold cases that might have been transgender, and we found dozens — and eventually hundreds,” he explained. “The contextual clues were there, but oftentimes were misrepresented by the person writing the report, or completely overlooked.”
He added that many of the Jane and John Does who have been identified were white, heterosexual and cisgender victims, leaving many minorities' cases — including LGBTQ+ and Black individuals — without resolution.
Both Redgraves, who identify as transgender, now work with a team of genetic genealogists to focus on individuals who have “slipped through the cracks,” including anyone who lived as a gender that does not match their missing person description.
Many of these people include murder victims, runaways and those who have died by suicide.
Most databases used by investigators don’t allow for comparison across gender, according to Redgrave.
“This means that if a person is entered in missing as male, but they are found as an unidentified person and entered into the database as female, those two entries will not be automatically compared in the system,” said Redgrave. “And unless someone notices and checks manually, neither the missing person nor unidentified case will be resolved.”
The LAMMP also allows chosen relatives and loved ones to list someone as missing, whereas other agencies only allow immediate family members to report a missing person — and some family members may not list a parent or child by their actual gender identity.
The Trans Doe Task Force has already assisted in several high-profile solved missing persons cases, including Jasper John Doe, whose skeletal remains were found in 1983. The body was identified in 2021 as William Lewis — a victim of prolific serial killer Larry Eyler.
They have also led the work on the cases of Pillar Point Doe, whose stabbed, beaten and strangled body was found in Half Moon Bay, California in 1983, and Julie Doe, whose murder has yet to be solved, to name a few.
The team says it’s essential that trans victims are memorialized with their lived gender with because of what is termed postmortem violence and proxy trauma, Anthony Redgrave told Oxygen.com. Postmortem violence is when a person experiences continued and intentional negligence, bias and transphobia even after death — including having incorrect pronouns applied to them and being deadnamed, which is when others use a transgender person’s former name. Proxy trauma, Redgrave explained, is something individuals face when seeing other members of their community being traumatized.

Something I've wondered is how things might be complicated by a person being intersex (thus their DNA would find them as one sex), but other factors might be ambiguous or interpreted as a different gender, and they didn't know they were intersex (how many of us have actually had genetic testing?), who were assigned a gender other than their genetic sex, and realized they were a gender different from what they had been brought up -- so, basically, for instance, a transgender woman who is genetically a woman but had been assigned/raised male. I hope that's explained at least relatively well. I have no idea how common or rare that might be, but it occurred to me as a possibility.
Lengthy magazine article..

''Misgendering after death is not only disrespectful to the deceased person, and difficult for the grieving family and friends, it can also negatively impact insurance claims, estate settlement, and genealogical records.
California is one of the states in the U.S. that has legislation in place to prevent the misgendering of transgender people after death. It was inspired by Christopher Lee, a transgender man who passed away in 2012 at the age of 48. After his death, the coroner identified Christopher’s gender as “female” on his death certificate, despite seeing a Driver’s License which identified him as “male” and hearing from his loved ones who said that he identified as a “Female to Male transgender man” and provided written documentation supporting this. The Respect After Death Act took effect in July 2015.''
''For transguys who are unable or do not wish to undergo surgeries, there are a couple of legal options available to help prevent being misgendered after death:
If you’re unable to sign the form in front of witnesses or a notary to make it legal, you can create a trusted decision maker form, which is the next best thing to a legal advance directive.
The Transgender Law Center also has a transgender-specific advanced directive document that allows you to appoint an agent with the power to enforce your wishes, as well as to list people who should have NO authority over arrangements following your death.

''Being born intersex means that some people have genitalia and/or a reproductive system that does not fall into the typical male or female category. When they grow over time, some don’t identify with their external anatomy or don’t know they are intersex at all due to their view of who they are. It is possible that bones not belonging to the two binaries may vary from normal development in the case of intersex humans. When forensic anthropologists find human remains, they can almost always identify sex right away if certain bones are present. Sometimes, though, after analysis, remains would be classified as ambiguous or undetermined (A/U) using established identification standards. These standards classify certain features of bones that were present as either male or female, but if a bone does not exactly have strict male or strict female characteristics, it is A/U which can leave some remains incorrectly identified. Some forensic Determination of Intersex Humans in Human Remains anthropologists believe that the A/U category could be for those people who were not strictly male or female when alive. Without standards or guideless for A/U, those who are born intersex fall through the cracks after death and leave behind only a memory of who they were.''

I'm pretty sure this person was transgender, She was dressed in male clothing with short hair with a male style haircut and was originally thought by officers to be male.

I am transgender, and if I was found deceased and misgendered publicly because of my genitals I'd come back and haunt everyone involved.
