Pre selected boy/ girl picture option? [#233625]

I'm building a site, which mostly kids will be using. I'm not sure if uploading user photos will be appropriate so I'd like to be able to make it possible so there is two pre- defined user images. A picture of a cartoon girl, and a picture of a cartoon boy. When the main site admin creates the user, he'll have the option on deciding whether or not he/ she is a boy or a girl, and thus the user avatar image on the profile will be automatically selected depending on whether admin selected boy or girl upon creating the user.

Would this be possible.. Even in the user edit perhaps, if there are two options for even the actual user to decide from..?

Is this possible for ME to code in somehow?

Thanks,

Jon.

Minor comment, at least if you are in the us, collecting personal information from kids can get you in trouble and I am pretty sure that includes if they are male/female.

Ah, ok, thanks. In Canada, and its a dance studio website, the profile only displayed to the other students, and the site not public, only for the use of the studio students. Basically, the site is monitored by the dance instructor himself, and the only personal info he actually has of course, is their name, control over password if necessary and whether or not they're male / female. Of-course, he already knows this, since he's the dance instructor. Lol.

If we need to for this post, just change the perspective to adults. Would the above be possible, so the admin, or even user has control over only two profile pic options. (And they're adults now, just so we don't get ourselves into a mess.. :P)

Thanks.

PS. I'm just the web developer, lol.

While I normally stick to technical feedback, I'd like to object to hard-coding male/female genders. If you're going to offer gender options, make them configurable.
