MY gender is he/him/his.
It would be rather cumbersome to label grammatical genders by listing all the words in them, in languages where there are thousands of such words. The terms "male", "female" and "neuter" are conventionally used instead.
If the system wants to know something biological, like whether I am male or female, the correct thing to ask would be my SEX. Can we please use correct terminology? "Sex" is not a dirty word.
The system has no interest in biology. The system wants to know your gender, so that it can use the correct grammatical gender in pronouns referring to you. I thought I made this pretty clear in the announcement.
