Bold of programmers to assume gender can be expressed accurately in a finite discrete system. Gonna have to bust the Taylor series for some better approximation.

I guess in theory as there will only ever be a finite number of individuals, there will also necessarily only ever be a finite number of different gender expressions, so finite discrete probably works. (Not to say that peoples experiences of gender are fixed and equidistant, but more so that you could have a "gender enum" with an entry for each individual)

Of course, trying to say how many bits this would require is almost impossible because theres always going to be more people and more genders, but it is technically finite.

In any case, bagsies on (leading zeros)100101001

Me on my way to define everyone's gender:

enum Gender {
  AARON,
  ALEX,
  ANN,
  ...
