Normally i wouldn't point this out, but you are talking about accurate use of
words.  The word `gender' is a linguistic term, with the possible values of
`masculine', `feminine', `neuter', and maybe others.  Therefore it is properly
only used as an attribute of words, and not people.  Most living things have
an attribute called `sex', with the possible values of `male' and `female'.  I
hope you all now remember to use the correct word.
