There are differences between the meaning of the | words "sex" and "gender", and you will be able to find quite a lot of | bibliography on that if you want. In case it is added to the database, I'd | find it much better to add a "gender" field. Anyway, I'm not sure that it | would be neccesary at all, or even a good idea. In any case, if it was | implemented, I think it should be optional to fill. +1 for (optional) Gender. Sex is problematic for a number of people, in-transition transsexuals, transgenders, etc. In any case, Gender is usually the established politically correct way to pose the question. I absolutely agree it should be optional and is probably unnecessary in the first place.
