"Kevin stared intensely at the options given by the drop down menu. The question this form had asked was simple: 'What is your gender?'

Alas, though the question was simple, the task of answering it was anything but. For the choices available were not 'Male / Female / Other' or any sensible superset or subset thereof; rather, to his horror, he was presented with a thoroughly confusing dichotomy: 'True / False'"

    System: "What is your gender?"

    I don't get the 'other' gender stuff that's going around. There are only 2 biological genders, fits precisely into a Boolean.

    Well, if we are talking about the word, apparently it was defined some time ago that gender was a social thing and sex was male/female.

    Saw it somewhere but you can probably google it pretty quickly.
