Somehow work pronouns into this

this may be subject to reading these references:
- Gender
- Gender Identity
- Sexual Identity
- Sexual Orientation
- Sexual Orientation Identity

Long story short...

I think that Gender should foremost apply to Gender Identity, that is, to which gender the person identifies most with, and not physical gender or characteristics. Wikipedia lists many; i've cut down a bit the list to the most relevant:
- Male
- Female
- Androgyne: people which have and feel a combination of masculine and feminine characteristics, but not necessarily in a biological sense (may be male, female or other)
- Transgender: people who's gender identity (self-identification as woman, man, neither or both) is not matching their assigned sex (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex)
- Pangender: people who do not wish to be labeled as female or male in gender, as they feel that they do not fit into binary genders because they feel they are all genders
- Bigender: person who feels they exhibit two genders
- Intersex: person with genital ambiguity

There is also Trans man and Trans woman, which indicates that a person who was previously male or female, has become the opposite.
These terms are less used and may be considered perjorative. Male/Female are alternatives.

Regarding Male and Female vs Man and Woman (in binary genders), Male/Female seem to be the most correct. The reasons are simple:
- Man and Woman are constructions of human societies and they match Male gender with Masculinity, and Female gender with Feminity, leaving no room for combinations or different meanings. Sometimes they also incorporate sexuality, which is even worse.
- Male and Female can also apply to animals, which means the terms are more generic. That is good in Drupal. Example, Pet shop.

Btw, regarding Sexual Orientation, it is fairly more simple, when looking at dominant sexualities and excluding philias and related topics;
- Asexual: no attraction
- Heterosexual (is also Monosexual, which means attracted to one sex only)
- Homosexual (is also Monosexual)
- Bisexual: attraction to both genders
- Polysexual: attraction to multiple genders and/or sexes, but not all
- Pansexual: attraction to all gender identities and biological sexes

Thank you for the research LPCA! We most definitely want to prefer the term gender identity. I agree that self-expression is the hallmark of the concept of gender.

This is how Facebook is handling pronouns in their recent profile details update.

I'm closing this issue because we're deprecating support for the 7.x-1.x branch of the module. The 8.x-1.x version of the module takes a similar but different approach to the field. When the 8.x-1.x version is completed, we will backport that work into 7.x-2.x.

I'll be reposting this on each issue I close for the sake of record keeping.
