lets burn down our civilizations by spending all our wealth discussing this

The issue is based on legal terminology. Gender isn't a legal thing only pushed into our vocabulary.

Allocate an unbound memory blob and sit back for the herd of the Rust coders to line up. Sell them a soda while they do their best chicken parody

There are 2⁶⁴ genders

As it is not stable I'd go with a database.

Sqlite.

Better go with MySQL to ensure foreign keys comstrains

not sure i want strains of com in my gender

any "n-bit value" fails to model nontermination. clearly a pointed dCPO.

No Y = 0

Presence of Y = 1

Looks like you can express it with binary if you want, though you would need an interpreter

except that genetics isn't that simple, there's many many things that go into structuring your body. Even biological sex isn't binary, there's plenty of overlap. People can literally be born with both sets of genitals afaik.
