Hello Damaji, the PDF supports my assumption. There is a single checkbox representing eiher one of three values for the checked state. And that's not possible with a checkbox. It can only hold one value for the unchecked and one value for the checked state.
So if you need to be able to differentiate between the additional genders you need to have - additional checkboxes or - a dropdown or - store the value somewehere else in the PDF in addition to checking the box (e.g. by adding a hidden field or storing the information in the metadata of the PDF). The last workaround obviously will not work if one uses the PDF interactively which limits the use of the PDF.
