For example in page logs and in User: namespace name for your userpage. (You
really need to use a wiki in language that actually uses grammatical gender for
more things than pronouns to see how ubiquitous this is.)

I assume that because gender can be considered private information like real
name or age.



Honestly, the more I'm reading this discussion, the more I'm leaning towards
the simple male / female / other choice we had earlier. There are way fewer
issues with it than apparently with what we have now.
